Unfortunately was to be expected, and Unfortunately while the US appeals court just ruled most of trumps tariffs illegal. They pushed off reminding them until Oct 24th so the supreme court can hear the case which doesnt help us. What it does do to help us though is potentially put pressure on the trunp admin to get a deal signed that is legal to prevent any reprocusions. Which benefits us in talks.

Agreed.

The fact that its only 1.6% is a miracle, honestly.

If there is one thing I’m disappointed with Carney, although not surprised, would be that nothing has been done on foreign influence campaigns here. But if the Tories won’t take it seriously, why would the government be incentivized in taking it seriously?

Id agree, and as much as i will take flak for this, i do firmly believe a bill should be passed so all future party leaders must apply for a security clearance within 30 days of taking office. Regardless of party, we need redundancy beyond ethics disclosures to ensure our leaders are free from foreign influence. Tightening lobbying rules, and tighter rules over foreign funding and control of our media as well. Then to top it off, an actual enforceable code of conduct for MP's both inside and outside the house, with penalties for deliberately pushing false information.

I have heard the same percentages for summer homes on Lake Simcoe. Between Sutton and Orillia they say over half the cottages are now rentals. No neighbourhoods and no communities left

I am not opposed to cottages being rented out regularly, if anything it increases access to the general public to these areas. Otherwise it’s just a rich mans club which keeps the plebs like me out and is only occupied a fraction of the time.

Who determines what is false?

As soon as you start enforcing this sort of thing in politics, it will be turned into a weapon to silence opposition.

Eg. "Mr. Speaker, will the Prime Minister explain where the missing $40M dollars has gone?"

"Mr. Speaker, would the Honourable member from (somewhere rural, or out west) care to withdraw their false allegation, lest they be seen as breeching the code of conduct for uttering false statements?"
