The Supreme Court will inevitably rule that the suspension of habeus corpus is unconstitutional. At what point do the millions of uniformed personnel who swore to uphold and defend the constitution make an appearance?

One of the first lessons I learned upon rising to the lofty heights of MS is that the troops hear everything. There is nothing you can say that will not be said again by someone else, and said without the full context. Notwithstanding, regardless of Col Kearney's reputation, he was twice...

We definitely have an urban-rurual split in this country, and the west is not the only example. The maritime provinces are largely rural and experience many of the same things you've articulated above. That being said, they typically feel less ignored by the center as they are net beneficiaries...

There is clearly no peak to Mount Stupid.

I had a quick look at the Elections Canada site, and I think this longest ballot business violates the act. Specifically, the parts about collecting signatures, and having them witnessed. The longest ballot people say to just email them, and they'll do the rest, which IMO, would be at odds with...

Death by a thousand cuts.

I would argue that this is how parliament is supposed to function. It should not be binary, confrontational, and opposition for the sake of opposing. Perhaps a more conciliatory approach would be more beneficial to the Torries than anything they've tried thus far.

I would suggest that his CV gives him the opportunity to govern from a more blue perspective than red. The primary risk for him is going too green in his policies so that in the end, the resource development we so desperately need stagnates under increased regulation.

It's important to remember that generally speaking, our conservatives are actually to the left of the Democrats, so very much and apples to oranges comparison.

That's because it has most of the makings of a cult: The group is focused on a living leader to whom members seem to display excessively zealous, unquestioning commitment. The group is preoccupied with bringing in new members. The group is preoccupied with making money. Questioning, doubt, and...

Good question. I don't buy for a second their argument that they didn't have time to mount a campaign targeting the other party leaders. This wasn't about the voting system, it was about interfering in this specific riding.

The King has indicated several times his support for and connection to Canada, most recently in an address to the Italian parliament. His reading of the Throne speech would be an excellent way of demonstrating to the orange toddler that we are our own sovereign nation.

My father, who served in the RAMC in France, Italy, and north Africa refused to watch any post war movie that came out of Hollywood. He considered every one of the to be nothing more than "how America won the war", and was always put out at how little credit was given to the work and sacrifice...

I think it's closer to a theocratic criminal autocracy.

Considering there appears to be no real intelligence guiding this administration...

These read like they won't survive contact with the Supreme Court.

If the PM wants to be the instrument of change he contends he is, this would be the obvious play, especially as Poliviere is effectively no longer a factor. We are currently in a trade war with the US, that is part of a further initiative regarding territorial gain. Framing this as a wartime...

If the dippers have any sense, they'll take their dismal showing for what it was... a punishment for their being too cozy with the Libs. That's not to say that they won't act against the own self interest.

The Libs are going to cater to the BQ. There's no way they side with the NDP given how badly the dippers did last night.
