    Defund CBC

    On Thursday morning, the “outgoing” federal heritage minister, Pascale St-Onge, gave forth the outlines of her plan to reform the CBC and adapt it to the future. You might think such an exercise would involve asking questions about the CBC’s prior performance, or whether a state broadcaster is...

    Fentanyl

    Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has said that, were he to form government, he would impose harsh imprisonment for fentanyl trafficking, including mandatory life sentences for major dealers. This is a laudable idea, even if his proposed legal mechanism for enacting these reforms is...

    Ottawa to remove many federal exceptions from Canadian Free Trade Agreement

    Huh…announced by Anita Anand, while Parliament is Prorogued, and I’m assuming she won’t be involved in any of the above. She’s out….once the next election is called, whenever that happens, assuming Carney doesn’t use the Emergencies Act to stall that off in light of Trump tariffs, etc…...

    Ruby Dhalla disqualified from Liberal leadership race over 'extremely serious' violations

    Well, with Parliament prorogued, & Trudeau STILL the PM throwing around taxpayer dollars like they’re Liberal campaign funds, & so far nothing but softball questions from the legacy media towards the Liberal Party leadership contenders…with no depth of explanations for their claims or...

"We can do it the easy way or...

    Trump 2.0

    Is that really the point of Trumps pronouncement? Why would Trump be threatening to remove access to Starlink from Ukraine in the last couple of days? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starlink Is that to encourage Ukraine and Europe to be more self-sufficient, in the last couple of days...

    It's Climate Change I tell'ya!! IT'S CLIMATE CHANGE!!

    We all should. Who can we really trust the most out of the current crop of PM contenders to actually get rid of it?

    It's Climate Change I tell'ya!! IT'S CLIMATE CHANGE!!

    The days all run together at this point, and I can’t remember if it was Wednesday morning or Thursday morning (I am leaning towards Wednesday morning) where it was -49°C with the slight breeze that morning…& then the weather changed. & with the amount of snow we’ve had this year…& it getting...

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    And he's out

    No idea. He’s operating in a parliamentary prorogue’d bubble so your guess is as good as mine. I would bitch and moan equally loudly if that was to happen, figuratively demanding his political head on a pike & the next batter to take a swing at the situation.

    And he's out

    How did we get here, and at what cost to Canadians beyond the Quebec-Ontario corridor? Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, now a resigned leader holding onto power until a replacement is chosen, committed Canada to a massive infrastructure project that will lock future governments into obligations...

    Liberals bring out the Knives

    With Dhalla out of the Liberal leadership race, that means there are four contenders left: Mark Carney, Chrystia Freeland, Karina Gould and Frank Baylis. So…which one will get voted off the island next? They all have skeletons in their closets. Mr. Carney and Ms. Freeland are now the...

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    What if REE’s are just the tip of the iceberg that America (Trump) is demanding? The contract was provided by the Trump administration to Kyiv earlier this month, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy being given only days to review and sign it. He ultimately refused to do so, despite...

    Nobody’s kicked him off the ballot yet? http://www.youtube.com/shorts/5POa1C3Rs-c (I wonder if she gets her $350,000.00 back? Or if all those that contributed to her campaign, get their money refunded?) “After a thorough investigation, the Leadership Vote Committee and the Leadership Expense...
