This will probably be the only remotely positive thing I’ll have to say about the CPC during this campaign, but good for them for taking out the trash.

And yeah, there’s still a lot of trash left.

I know it was technically the lower bid, but I had high hopes for the Loblaws offer.

Not quite an MP, but Senator Paula Simons has had a presence on Mastodon for over two years.

Anything that focuses on construction is the way to go.

I think he could, and would, do exactly that, if Danielle Smith were a federal CPC candidate.

It’d be just as wrong, too.

With it being called a technical briefing, it’s probably pretty benign. But…maybe it isn’t?

Liberals will boot this man from the party if what he did was actually bad and deserves a punishment.(which in this case it certainly was)

He made the comments in January. He apologized on Friday. It’s now Sunday, and not a word from the party…

Yet another source said the campaign has a “weird fixation” with relatively minor issues, like how the media is reporting Poilievre’s rally crowd sizes. This Conservative said this should not be a concern for senior leaders like Byrne, given other issues they are grappling with.

You cannot make this up.

Honestly, I just couldn’t find a Canadian news source that had run with a description of the call yet, so I figured I’d go looking for the PMO press release.

The leaders agreed to begin comprehensive negotiations about a new economic and security relationship immediately following the election. In the interim, the leaders agreed that conversations between the Minister of International Trade and Intergovernmental Affairs and President of the King’s Privy Council for Canada, Dominic LeBlanc, and the United States Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, will intensify to address immediate concerns.

It’s worth noting that in his statement on Truth Social, Trump dropped the “Governor” BS and called Carney the Prime Minister.

We should never go back

I agree…but at some point, there will have to be normalization. Whatever that new normal ends up being.

I’ve liked what Carney has said outside of the campaign - in his meetings with European leaders, he’s been talking about this new status quo we find ourselves in as a permanent change in the global order, rather than a four-year blip.

On the campaign trail? I can’t say that he’s been particularly inspiring so far.

Sure, but I think…

Smith was, let’s remember, a media pundit in her past career(s) — known to workshop or test-drive different ideas or theories live on air. Rhetorical spaghetti flung on the wall.

…covers that pretty effectively.

I don’t think so. It delves a little into “politics as sports,” which I never appreciate, but Jason Markusoff isn’t prone to carrying water for Smith or the UCP.

Based on your description, I don’t think your father would have qualified for MAID in its current form - recipients must be able to provide informed consent immediately before receiving medical assistance in dying, with very narrow exceptions.

That seems like a little much - there’s plenty of foreign media that produces worthwhile content.

Blacklisting certain outlets, on the other hand…

He’s not Mr. Right…but he is Mr. Right Now.

Dominion Review is a Canadian publication providing novel and dissenting perspectives on issues that matter to our country.

Oh.

And look at that, the site’s editor has been published in…

-The Epoch Times (19 times!)

-The Financial Post (4 times)

-The Vancouver Sun (twice)

-The Western Standard

And other publications that I’m sure are highly esteemed and worth our time.

I guess they think “respectful and firm” is their best shot at taking a stand without alienating their base.

I don’t think it’s going to play.
