In my eyes it takes more balls than a canal horse and a heaping side of dignity to pull off for anyone.
Well, we won't likely be getting that election until next year. The NDP won't give us a non-confidence vote for the absolute stupidest reason. They're broke. Seriously, federal NDP coffers have less money than the average 65 yr old retiree has in his/her account. Less than $300,000. And they still owe $2 million on the $20 million loan they took out to campaign during the 2021 election.
So the Jagoff can crow all he wants about ripping up the S&C agreement but he's still gonna prop Groper up because the NDP can't afford another election campaign at this time.
Jagoff's constituency office is located in South Burnaby. Despite claiming it's open for 14 hrs a week, the doors are locked and the lights are off during those "open" hours and nobody answers the phone or returns voicemails. The recording doesn't even say it's Singh's office.
Doesn't bode well for a party that wants to run the country.

Thames Valley school board officials took first-class train travel for $38K retreat

The majority of the Thames Valley District school board administrators who attended a $38,000 retreat at the Toronto Blue Jays stadium hotel took first-class train travel to get there and back.
The August retreat, which was uncovered by The Free Press and helped spark a provincial audit of the cash-strapped school board, drew widespread outrage from unions, parents and taxpayers. The board’s top official, education director Mark Fisher, is now on a paid leave of absence.
Trustee Beth Mai, who chairs the school board, made public the full cost of the retreat, $38,444.92. It broke down as follows:
Travel: $5,468.09
Accommodations: $19,778.02
Meeting rooms and meals: $13,198.81
Mai confirms that surprisingly the large travel bill was largely due to business class Via train travel. Via officials say “business” class is their equivalent to first class.
Round-trip business class tickets between Toronto and London range from $200 to $420, Via staff say.
While Via describes economy as the “most affordable way” to travel, business class is described as a way “to treat yourself.” On its website, Via says: “We’ll make sure your experience is worth the upgrade with business lounge access, wider seats, full meals and more, so you can either relax or work a bit.”
Learning details of the first-class travel was “disappointing,” said Mary Henry of CUPE Local 4222, which represents 1,600 Thames Valley employees including secretaries, educational assistants and early childhood educators.
“There is no need for them to sit in first class,” Henry said.
The school board hasn’t named the 17 board administrators who joined Fisher on the three-day retreat. Mai declined to specify how many of those travelled first class on the train, saying: “I would safely say most did.”
The senior executives stayed at the Marriot City Centre Hotel, formerly the SkyDome Hotel, where many rooms overlook the Blue Jays’ playing field. The Jays were playing on all three days, from Aug. 19-21. Rooms range from $374 to $1,199 per night, hotel staff say.
The retreat took place while Thames Valley, Ontario’s fourth-largest school board, is juggling a $7.6-million deficit that’s already been slashed from $18 million thanks to cuts to jobs, school supplies and funding for kids’ field trips.
Education Minister Jill Dunlop this month announced she’s conducting a management audit of the school board’s executive members’ compensation and their administration of the board.

Poillievre is Canadian maga we do not want insane far right here destroying our nation. I stand with Trudeau!
No no no and non. You are Canadian maga. We do not want your kind.
What do you know of Retired_Can_Soldier, other than the fact that he as anti-Trudeau?No no no and non. You are Canadian maga. We do not want your kind.
Who is the "kind" that "we" don't want? Veterans? Retired soldiers? Or anybody who does not support Trudeau?
Good luck with that .Poillievre is Canadian maga we do not want insane far right here destroying our nation. I stand with Trudeau!
So you're the 1.Poillievre is Canadian maga we do not want insane far right here destroying our nation. I stand with Trudeau!
No no no and non. You are Canadian maga. We do not want your kind.
Good question. Who is “We” above?
You are an idiot. Canada doesn't even have a far right party. We have a center-right, and a bunch ranging from far to extreme left.Poillievre is Canadian maga we do not want insane far right here destroying our nation. I stand with Trudeau!
Poillievre is Canadian maga we do not want insane far right here destroying our nation. I stand with Trudeau!
Oh wait, you were serious? Let me laugh even harder. 
And here comes Trudeau's social media influencers to desperately engage in that now age-old Liberal campaign tradition, fear mongering. Sorry sport, but that's a bullshit commie scum tactic.
Whines about MAGA shit in Canada, immediately engages in American-style attack-the-other-guy politics. Tell us oh fake Elder one, tell us what great accomplishments of Socks "Blackface" McGroper has you so fucking jazzed about him. Give us three good reasons to vote for Trudeau that have nothing to do with your hilarious opinion of Poilievre?
Oh I know, he appointed Canada's first female AND first First Nations Minister of Justice. How wonderfully diverse. Oh wait, but he also fired her over a difference of morals. She had some, he doesn't.
I know. Free drugs to addicts. Nothing says "compassion" like feeding people's addiction. But then again, if yer gonna force the taxpayers to fund those free drugs, they should get some for free too, right?
Okay I got one. He praises nazis and supports islamo-nazis. Yeah, now there's some good ol' fashioned values. Now THAT's the kind of thang a good ol' far-right winger can 'preciate. All right, I convinced myself, he's got my vote.
Yeah, numbnuts, I'm a Canadian MAGA. Check out my posts on Donald Trump. I'm his #1 Cheerleader.No no no and non. You are Canadian maga. We do not want your kind.
If you are able to get past your Cult Leaders talking points and do some comprehensive reading.
I'm a MAGA! ROFLMAO
