There is another COA I just thought of that is more compelling. Carney peels off a half dozen MPs from both the NDP and CPC, on a individual basis….

And this is the leverage Carney holds. He can go to both the NDP and factions within the CPC and say that he will go with the other guys, unless you play ball my way and you lose all influence for 4 years. Or, you can be inside the tent. Who makes a deal first?

PP is fighting for his political life, now. How he presents himself over the next few weeks will say volumes about where he perceives the power centre in the CPC to be. Are they Doug Ford/Tim Houston Conservatives or MAGA lite Conservatives? My gut feel is that, Liberal election campaign...

They can argue that they are putting Constituents/Country before Party. It could work. Of course, this is Canada, so it probably won’t work.

I am thinking this is most likely COA for the Liberals. It has the added advantage of enraging a more hard-edged part of the CPC, against the more pragmatic wing, which all but gauarantees fratricide while the Conservatives sort it out. Thus giving the Liberals a free hand for a solid two years...

The thing is, with PP seatless at the moment and facing an automatic leadership review (probably at least 6 months before a byelection could be called in a safe, rural Alberta seat, anyway), there is not a lot of leverage over CPC MPs. They can do pretty much what they like for immediate future.

Interesting. I had not heard that.

Not a chance in hell the BQ would go for that.

That is pretty much what I was thinking, too. The Liberals should be putting out feelers to Conservatives who just won in either NDP or Liberal ridings, especially by close margins. Call it a “national unity” effort. It would fly.

I would think that there are a block of at least a half dozen Conservatives that could be persuaded to cross the floor for a lot cheaper than dealing either with the NDP or worse, the BQ. Bringing the BQ into government would about finish the Liberals west of Ontario.

It was a test and they did most certainly fail. See, the thing about aviation is that every flight is a checkride. If you and your passengers live, you pass….

The Oilers managed to somehow stay alive after a junk first and second period. They are aware that there are 3 periods in hockey and that any goals that they score in the first period do eventually count in the final score, right? Back to LA for game one of the best of three series…

Jagmeet Singh is not a terrorist. With that said, Canada is a bit too complacent when it comes to letting some elements within the Sikh diaspora have a free hand in meddling (and well beyond mere meddling) in Indian affairs. It makes Canada look either complicit or like patsies.

Me neither…

The reporter who wrote this has absolutely no familiarity with or understanding of aviation… For example, a circling approach to runway 33 does not mean that the American Airlines RJ was “circling” the runway. It is a type of visual manoeuvre conducted after an instrument approach to align...

I don’t think that you even remotely understand the issues involved.

Not really sure. I have only shipped UAB via CMTT within Canada.

Sad for the Sens (too bad they could not have bracketted against a US team), But happy that the Leafs are doing well, so far.

I thought we were past visiting the sins of the fathers on the sons? Or, is that only applicable to certain political parties?

The problem with that theory is that it relies on there being a Canadian traffic section/supply outlet where you are going in the USA, to pick your stuff up from, no?
