Until 30 seconds ago, I thought the two terms were interchangeable. Learn something new every day here.

Are federal employees at risk of being fired at midnight Monday if they don’t respond to an Elon Musk email? President Trump said on Monday that Mr. Musk’s email demanding that federal workers justify their jobs was “ingenious” and “great” and repeated Mr. Musk’s written warning: “If you don’t...

Candidates vying to be the next leader of the federal Liberals and Canada's prime minister will square off in a French-language debate in Montreal tonight. (Yet I bet the name Poilievre will still get mentioned more than Trump) Five contenders cleared their final financial hurdle last week but...

It’s weird, and strange, both simultaneously. Our mutual security together makes so much sense that this new twist seems surreal. After about 70 years of what seemed like somewhat complimentarily cooperative defence, this is a new paradigm. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_Canada...

Those four submarines from the West Edmonton Mall, or the ones from Britain that we had to tow to Halifax (thank God for CAA)? The West Edmonton Mall subs were the real deal — they were the first recreational submarines in the world at that time and were deep-sea tested by the Vancouver company...

They are making inroads, as long as nobody is allowed to criticize Carney, & he doesn’t have to actually directly speak to people… Ruby Dallah (I don’t care enough to look up the spelling of her last name) is it really happy with the liberals or the CBC at this point…just like most Canadians I...

The federal Liberals unveiled their plan for national security last week. Does it increase spending on our armed forces? No, according to “outgoing” Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge, the way to defend this country is by almost doubling funding for CBC. St-Onge released a document that suggested...

Still Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is to be in Kyiv on Monday along with a dozen other world leaders as Ukraine marks the third anniversary of Russia's invasion of that country. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed during a news conference in Kyiv Sunday evening that he will meet...

“The debate is not between Chrystia Freeland and Mark Carney – about who will be the best leader – because people take for granted that Carney will win the leadership. It is on Carney to show whether he is strong enough to battle against Trump.”…so this is another set of softballs for Carney...

Thankfully Trump is so altruistically vague with his shifting goalposts and rarely saying the same thing day to day…with nobody knowing what he wants day to day, for our own benefit. Phew! Glad he’s on someone’s team.

Etc…. (YouTube & “SHOCKING: Alberta Threatens to LEAVE Canada if Mark Carney Becomes Prime Minister!”) Alberta hasn’t threatened to leave, but they’re not happy after another decade of another Trudeau…& unlike Quebec, this isn’t just noise… 79% of Canadians say no to Trumps 51st state...

I asked the same question a while back… http://forums.canadiancontent.net/threads/will-mark-carney-as-an-unelected-pm-have-a-seat-in-parliament.180207/ http://www.youtube.com/shorts/8_XmBiCipv4 (YouTube & “Could Mark Carney become PM and lead the government until September 2026? Yes.... Here's...

It’s a weird balancing act, as we (Canada) have exactly 1 trading partner that isn’t separated from us by an ocean, & 150 or whatever years of established trade along our 8900km long shared border that we are physically connected to that trading partner, & by far the majority of the Canadian...

For traction? Political or otherwise?

Can a Federal Election be called if an Emergency is called in a situation like this? It’s why Zelensky in Ukraine hasn’t called a federal election. The Chief Electoral Officer, the head of Elections Canada, has various legal powers to deal with emergencies, such as a major power outage or...

The longer Still PM Trudeau can keep parliament prorogued while still throwing around taxpayer dollars like Liberal campaign funds…while Carney is able to avoid any tough questions whatsoever while also benefiting from parliament being prorogued by the Liberals…the better it is for them...

Liberal leadership contender Karina Gould says she’s going to wait to gauge the state of the Canada-U.S. relationship when the race to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is determined in mid-March, before deciding whether to call an early election, if she wins the contest. On March 4...

This is from 2 weeks ago: (YouTube & “LILLEY UNLEASHED: Poilievre on Trump, Carney, tariffs and the border”) After almost a decade of striving to keep Canadian energy projects to a minimum, the Liberals have finally begun muttering about the necessity of building new east-west pipelines as a...

In the short term, U.S. tariffs and trade barriers may lead to economic hardship and belt-tightening. But it would also force us to change the way we operate as a country, making us both more efficient and resilient. As Canadians, we have to change the inefficient way we have been governed...

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...
