Every leader, in any political system, is going to have detractors & cheerleaders… I like to look at things occurring currently or recently in the light of, “How will this, or this person, be perceived in 50 or 100 years? Hero or Zero?” sort of thing.

Due to the way they’re set up, parliamentary systems don’t usually have lame duck sessions. I’d argue that Canada’s parliament has been in one for much of the last year though, especially the last session, & the next one that may or may not actually last more than a few hours on January 27th...

Three years of it actually, 45+ years ago. Sorting out those d & b & p & q letters ‘cuz they’re really all the same letter. It’s still sneaks up and bites being in the ass every so often though, especially if I’m tired.

Different fiscal management on BOTH sides of the border. Pre-Trump also, whom you seem to not be a fan of.

I think of the Village People.

I think that Freeland isn’t a good person of her own merits. She hitched her wagon to Justin Trudeau, as the good little shrewish henchmen/person/gnome she is. Yes, she did finally resign, & did it in a dramatically understated/over the top timed manner…three days after, for all intents and...

Andrew Perez, a Liberal Party strategist and principal of Perez Strategies, said that prorogation is almost certainly fait accompli. “I don’t see how the government can avoid prorogation,” he said. “If they don’t, they’re going to be defeated and plunged into an election in the first week of...

If only we could’ve seen this coming…. http://www.youtube.com/shorts/6Il3qVOzv3I Oh yeah. Oh well.

It’s only the hypocrisy that rings like a bell, kind of like Pavlov’s dog. Since he stopped wearing a costume for every event, he’s down to just one plane at a time usually, so that’s progress.

& the English speaking portion of CBC that gets defunded, they can just slap that right onto the pile towards our DND.

Canadian business mogul Kevin O’Leary says he wants to meet with Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, the president-elect’s so-called “winter White House,” to discuss the idea of “an economic union” with the United States. http://apple.news/Acd5aArUfSkukInPu6Qdv0w After Trump...
