    How much snow do you have where you are?

    Yeah, enough at this point, for a while. The height of the side streets with packed snow/ice is higher than the sidewalks in my neighbourhood.

    Liberals bring out the Knives

    For whom? How much more suicide is it for either than a snap election? It might eventually be worse for the NDP if they’re thinking further than the next election (be it in May or July or later October), & it would probably be better off for the Liberals than not…& damn Canada.

    Liberals bring out the Knives

    Vs last week: So potentially… by Trudeau resigning sort of eventually, or promising to at a future date…the Libs might’ve picked up 2 seats from the NDP, the Conservatives might have picked up 1 seat again from the NDP. I’m still thinking, due to something like the above, the NDP is going to...

    Canadian Federal Election Outcome October 20th (or 27th?), 2025.

    The liberals got an uptick just by Trudeau announcing his intention to resign eventually, maybe even March 9th… There’s a honeymoon period even just with him potentially leaving eventually, & even if it’s a Trudeau policy clone, they’ll also get an uptick just by not being Trudeau & being new...

    Canadian Federal Election Outcome October 20th (or 27th?), 2025.

    Yeah, but from January 6th. I’m curious to see what the difference is gonna be after a week after Trudeau sort of almost but not resigning, etc…

    Liberals bring out the Knives

    What is the cutoff for party status? 10 or 12 seats if I remember correctly yet vaguely, it’s somewhere around there…

    Canadian Federal Election Outcome October 20th (or 27th?), 2025.

    As I’m waiting for the poll aggregate on Canada338, here’s the last projection I can find from the CBC which I think is being way overly generous towards both the NDP and Liberals…but that’s their client audience that they would be surveying I guess.

    And he's out

    The last 30 months are the death to both parties, & they both know it. An immediate snap election would look very similar to the Canada338 projections (which still aren’t out for today yet), so stalling for time while re-proroguing parliament (keeps the opposition out of the spotlight) is a big...

    And he's out

    Do you think that matters more to the liberals and the NDP in Canada at this point, unless they can use that for their own survival? I agree that things are going to shit and I agree that we should’ve been in an election cycle a long time ago, but it’s gonna come down to the avarice and...

    And he's out

    (The only confirmed leadership candidates thus far are Liberal MP Chandra Arya and former Liberal MP Frank Baylis) After 9+ years in Parliament, I’d never heard of Chandra Ayra before yesterday morning….& if parliament is actually allowed to happen, & Frank Baylis (via Anita Anand, who would...

    Liberals bring out the Knives

    No current cabinet ministers have announced bids to replace Prime Minister Trudeau, who has announced his intention to eventually resign, etc… http://apple.news/A-TX9R4xSTg21CpR_T-EUPg Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon confirmed Sunday morning he will not run to replace Prime Minister Justin...

    And he's out

    I don’t think we’re on the same page here. I think the NDP are already bought and paid for, will support the Liberals in late March, then prorogue Parliament again so no confidence vote. I’m not envisioning the liberals or the NDP to be altruistic enough towards the good of Canada, & more...

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

    This is where I was comparing against for the humidity in Regina Saskatchewan earlier today. Quite a difference in climate between here and there.

    Defund CBC

    In late 2023, Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge said it was time for the federal government to redefine what the CBC does and how it does it. A year later — and with a federal election expected sometime this spring — her office is promising the minister will unveil the planned changes to the...

    Liberals bring out the Knives

    In an interview with The West Block’s Mercedes Stephenson, Copps (former Deputy Prime Minister Sheila Copps) said whoever emerges from the Liberals’ short leadership contest needs to be prepared to rebuild the party under a government led by Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre. “You want...

    And he's out

    So, in your opinion, the Current Liberal Party, & the NDP I guess, knowing most of them won’t win their ridings & will lose their seats, will all become altruistic, & set aside their potential life-time pensions & will opt then for a snap election that Poilievre and the Conservatives, with odds...

    Bill’s C-10 & C-11. If we aren’t talking about it already, shouldn’t we be?

    Ah yes…Bill C-63. By proroguing Parliament on Monday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau snuffed the life out of one of his favourite darlings: Bill C-63, also known as the online harms act. Good riddance. There’s no excuse for suspending democracy at a time like this, but we should at least...

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

    How was this even possible? Regina currently has a higher humidity than Akumal that’s right on the freaking ocean… Even factoring in the 49°C temperature difference… which is like 120°F spread in temperatures. Idiots not from here will say, “At least it’s a dry cold!”
