  1. We are in the weirdest timeline... where provincial governments are competing for the most effective and welcoming but also defiant sign.

    BC currently going for the “Kill-Them-With-Sentences” approach. 🤪

  2. So who wants to tell her STEP ONE means actually FUNDING THE ARTS? Her far right base would lose their minds. Not that she'd ever do it. #DanielleSmith just wanted another vacay on the taxpayer dime & to show subservience to #America & #Trump during the latest #TradeWar phase

  3. Canadian petrosexuals are trying to take advantage of the situation in the Middle East by pitching Canada as a reliable alternative source of O&G... but we are highly vulnerable to being cut-off by a US blockade (which no longer can be considered an improbable situation). Nations are going to view Canadian O&G as a temporary stop gap measure until they can build out domestic renewable energy, which keeps working even if a trade choke point is closed, and leave Canadians holding a bag of useless infrastructure and environmental damage.

    #Canada needs to stop doubling down on O&G investment and shift our focus to developing domestic renewable energy equipment production (wind generators, solar panels, sodium batteries). As long as the trade choke points on our coasts are open we can export and the long term international market prospects are vastly superior to O&G. We can also make sure it is Canadian owned, keeping the profits in Canada, rather than foreign owned like O&G.

  4. “Lake Ontario is not hurting. It is a lake.”

    😆 😂

    Former PM Jean Chrétien. Looking a little frail, but still sharp.

    He also said Trump could turn out to be a dictator…. Worth noting.

    Short clip, worth watching whether you are Canadian or American.

  5. Hypothesis: #Liberals gaining #Conservative voters but also losing some of their own to the #NDP due to things like #ClimateChange etc. Overall so far a small net gain for LPC, big gain for NDP, big loss for CPC

    Otherwise where does that NDP +7% come from?

  10. 🇨🇦 Tariffs: Quebec will reserve certain tenders for local companies

    Tarifs douaniers : Québec va réserver certains appels d’offres pour les entreprises d’ici

    Invited by Christine Fréchette to a meeting to take stock, the leaders of the other parties were disappointed when they left.

    Conviés par Christine Fréchette à une rencontre pour faire le point, les chefs des autres partis se sont montrés déçus à leur sortie.

    The City of Victoria has removed a “Donald J. Trump Memorial” sign that mysteriously appeared above a public washroom in the city.

    A urinal would be an appropriate place

    The majority of experts who testified at the ERRE committee gave evidence that proportional representation was the best option for meeting the committee's goals. No one disputed this. That was the consensus. Further, prior to the committee meetings, the members had meetings with Canadians across the country. Most Canadians that the committee members met with cited PR as their preference for electoral reform.

    The Liberal members of the committee, however, ignored the evidence and, in the end, chose to inexplicably advocate for Alternative Vote (which, besides a different ballot, is basically the same as FPTP, in that it is a single member riding winner-take-all system --> winner take all is the problem). This led to Maryam Monsef's idiotic ridicule of the Gallagher Index. Ignoring evidence and ridiculing science is often seen with right wing parties. Under no circumstances should either the GPC or the NDP partake in such nonsense.

  21. Largest gains BY FAR going to the #NDP

    I'd be curious to know how much of their 7 point gains are due to disenfranchised #ClimateChange voters like me

    It would be quite the migration, as the Canadian Chamber of Commerce has a distinct Texas accent.

    I expect you can guess what he'll simply state. But maybe not. If it's new to you, excellent!
