The only people who know for sure are probably the Governor Generals's Footguards band.

I hope he's coming to say good bye because we are getting out of the monarchy business.

Oof, downtown Ottawa’s gonna be a zoo those days.

Seems like a pretty good presser:

• Royal visit for the Throne Speech
• Won’t enter a coalition with NDP (“Why?” from Carney when asked)
• Dodged the question about pursuing floor crossers
• Meeting with Trump next week to work tariffs immediately
• Cabinet to be picked and sworn over the next week and a half
• If CPC want a byelection for Poilievre he won’t delay it or play games
• Tax cut coming for the lowest bracket on July 1st
• Seems like his French is improving
• Caps to be imposed on temporary foreign workers and foreign students to keep it under 5% of the population (down from 7.3% or so right now) in order to ease pressures on services.

Not a bad start. Seems like he’s coming into this with, as expected, a calm and mature approach to starting the business of governing. He’s got lots to do.

No capes!

I would simply ignore the treaties, probably not a practical, but I would open with that. The treaties are a pointless relic from a bygone era. It would be between a new county that didn't sign them and a group of people that weren't a nation state in any way that is functional. The answer is to just give the reservation land to the people who live there and have lived there and then turn it into privately held land like any other in the new country. People ignore aboriginal land titles because they don't exist, it's based on stories and tales.

The issue is they will still have their hands out for free money from whoever is in charge. When they don’t get it they’ll block roads with flaming tires and other crap.

Oh so you support theft eh? Neat. What happens to those pesky indigenous people refuse to secede from Confederation? The brave ADF shows them a thing or two with their non existent military?

Had he chosen not to accept the invitation with all that's been going on since January, it would have for sure poured a massive barrel of gasoline into the anti-monarchist movement.

I still do miss ol' Liz.

I now demand a cape for the DEU's

To zero surprise, we have a CPC MP resigning to allow Pierre in. Damien Kurek, long time MP for Battle River - Crowfoot, in AB, has announced he will resigned so Pierre can run in a By-election and take the seat. Kurek won the seat with 81% of the vote on election night so this is one of the safest seats for the CPC.

shake hands with the devil and elect the PPC?

Doesn’t sound like they will play shenanigans. Tradition would have that they would refrain from running an LPC candidate.

Tradition would also have a leader who lost the election and their own seat resign, but here we are

So was PPs Carleton riding...

Polling in Carlton was within the margin of error neck and neck, and with vote splitting, Pierre actually was already behind, this was proven at the ballot box

Not based.
