  1. PMMC's plans to sell airports and public infrastructure reminds me of the Gordon Gekko character from the film "Wall Street" (1987) which centered around an airline with many land assets.

    Here is clip from the movie.
    "Greed Is Good"

    is not a good look.

  2. "Bill C-22's Groundhog Day: Why the Government's Dismissal of Signal, Apple and the U.S. Congress Concerns Runs Back the Disastrous Online News Act Playbook"
    michaelgeist.ca/2026/05/bill-c

    Quote: "Secure messaging service Signal yesterday became the latest company to warn that Bill C-22, the lawful access bill, could force it to leave the Canadian market rather than comply with provisions it says would compromise its end-to-end encryption and create new cybersecurity risks."

    Quote: "The pattern will be familiar for anyone who lived through the Online News Act. Supporters of then-Bill C-18 dismissed warnings from Meta and Google that the bill's mandated payments for news links were unworkable and that they would comply by blocking the links in Canada ... But by the end of summer 2023, Meta had stripped news links from Facebook and Instagram, an approach that continues to this day."

    IMO PMMC is no better than PMSH - so much for being a Liberal.
    #LINO - Liberal In Name Only

    IMO PP is worse than PMSH.
    Even if the Cons turfed PP they would still be Cons.

    Are the FearlessFive all that is left of progressive MPs in Canada [outside of BQ]?
