Might as well just provide the list: Carney’s cabinet has 28 ministers and 10 secretaries of state (people who have specific roles, but aren’t necessarily connected to a particular department). Twenty-four are new ministers, and 13 of them are first-time MPs. Here’s the full list: Shafqat...

Steven Guilbeault shuffled off as the nothing-burger Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture... I'm... ok with this. I don't knwo enough about David McGuinty to have a good read, but since he's been chair of the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians for the last 8...

I like this.

I actually don't think it's a huge deal if Freeland is part of the cabinet. I think her resignation letter showed that she was not core author of the Trudeau government, but rather a useful tool being used (and abused) by it. Guilbeault, on the other hand, has drunk the coolaid and I'm very...

Dont forget, amongst those who suffer TDS, a loss is the Liberals fault and a win is not the Liberals win.

So then why were you so irate with the Liberal plans of the last decade? Some hardship for a brighter, cleaner, sunnier future?

Also, if your ship hits a mine, it's not DC teams you need, it's life boats.

Case in point...

I actually meant that honestly, not as a sarcastic dig.

I don't know guys, if I listen to the opinions of the plebes on Twitter and of the more enlightened/informed people on here, we are in for 2+ years of the continuing deterioration and further destruction of our country.and our economy. It will happen by the continued over spending on both social...
