A lot of hearsay in that article and not a lot of evidence and fact with a headline that makes it sound like police are already investigating when they arent

Oh yeah. I was a little quick on the draw, good catch.

That he brain farted Conor McGregor and Connor McDavid? Yes, I understand the point being made fun of. Nonetheless he’s correct to ridicule the leader of the opposition's attacks on the PM’s education in economics. It also still means you took the shot at him without realizing he does in fact have a pretty considerable background in hockey.

In politics, when you slip up and say something stupid, out of place, the wolves feed on you. They sure as hell do it to the conservatives.

Oh, certainly.

Anyone else find it ironic that Andrew Scheer is critical of EVs while driving a cyber truck? That should be a crime on its own with how ugly those are.

Before he entered politics, Wayne Long was the president of the Saint John Sea Dogs, a QMJHL team.

That doesn't make it better lol

A really good little chat

An IT billionaire floated the idea of charging educated individuals 500k if they wanted to emigrate out of canada. Stupidest idea ever that wouldn't even survive a charter challange

Sometimes individuals actually do win when fighting for Charter Rights.

Such great news. I have to say I have been disappointed how Houston has conducted his Government after their big win.

I had higher hopes.

Isn't she on the record saying the floor crossing was good for her personally too or something along those lines?

Yes. Yes she is.

Which IT billionaire was that? There are an awful lot of them who seem to think since they made a $ billion with an idea or good investments that they are a genius in every other field.

Not to be confused with Bill Gates, another tech billionaire who seems to be one of the world's leading experts on all kinds of issues he has absolutely zero background in - and also makes stupid suggestions

Meh. Rumours are rumours til they’re not. We’ve heard several versions of this, including ‘up to ten’ that thus far was just one.

I’m sure PM Carney would like a few more seats’ buffer- makes it easier to pull members into line if need be without risking the majority. I personally wouldn’t mind that. But there’s now relatively less to potentially gain for crossers than before.

Exactly.

To be fair, I suspect that no one in the US Administration or the Islamic Regime knows exactly what is going on. My guess is that the IRGC and other political factions in the Regime have fallen out with each other and any monies being paid out by shipping companies is not going to the factions with the guns/drone/boats and they are pissed as corruption income is what sustained them. Hopefully we are seeing the final days as the regime eats itself. But I am sure the Western Progressives will do their best to "Save the regime" for some godforsaken reason.

Some tech guys suggested this a decade ago. Proposing clawing back public subsidies to those who leave, because they couldn't compete with Silicon Valley salary offers. This was from a decade ago:

There should be consequences for Ontario grads leaving Canada: CEOs

Group says grads who flock to U.S. high-tech firms should have to reimburse Canadian taxpayers for their subsidized tuition

It's not new. Every 10 years or so somebody runs it up the flagpole. They will do anything to avoid paying more. Ironically, the government flooding the market with immigrants (supported by all these companies) is suppressing tech (and other) wages here, making it that much more attractive for top grads to leave. So now they want to block the exit.

I have this idea that a few of those "10 potential floor crossers" we heard about earlier were essentially playing chicken with each other, unwilling to be the one that "gave the liberals a majority". Now that that's a done deal, they may be more ready to cross over, as their defection will have "less" of an impact on the overl state/power of the government, and therefore (perhaps) piss off their constituents less.

I find it interesting that we have obsession over whether there will be another floor crosser or ten. At this point, it changes very little.

Instead, what if we focus on what the Liberals need to do with that new majority? How about immigration, foreign aid, crime, defence, security, economy, energy, affordability, inter provincial trade, etc?

I suspect you DON'T want to talk about it because the Liberals track record so far doesn't look good. And they have a majority now, as Warren Kinsella says "So what?"

Deeds not words.
