    Alex Lahey track really good. Had Every Day’s The Weekend already from a few years ago and see from the same CD. Will have to go through the rest of it.

  2. Warren,

    The worst part of Section 33 is that governments, including a federal government, gave governments at large the right to take away our rights. And so it will remain unless a constitutional amendment is proposed, passed and ratified. Not a chance of that happening.

    I also believe that Section 33 should be compared and contrasted with the EA. There too rights can be suspended, if not denied but most people don’t seem to have a problem with that in THAT context.

    Is that cognitive dissonance?

    • Martin Dixon says:

      Of course it is but that is an inconvenient truth for the media to point out. As Lilley mentioned, many of the mandates were probably against the charter rights and very likely would not have stood up in court. THAT is what the convoy protest was all about.

      • The Doctor says:

        Not necessarily so, because of section 1 of the Charter (which does not really have an equivalent in the US Constitution). Section 1 imposes such reasonable limits as can be justified etc. Lawyers defending the mandates would definitely argue s.1. Remember, these mandates have so far had a pretty good record up against various court challenges.

      • Martin,

        I don’t know about mandate challenges. It was at the very least an international health emergency so my guess — and it’s only that — is that the appellate court levels at least would give the feds, provinces and territories pretty much leeway vis-à-vis the Charter.

  3. Ukraine either is supported almost unconditionally or the American body politic self-declares itself godless. And that’s where the demon seed makes headway instead of being on the ropes. Republicans beware, especially Trump Republicans.

  4. Musk, is at the very least too right-wing. And his view of the world dovetails seems to dovetail with the relatively radical right agenda so beloved by Trump and his ilk.

    The Musk brands are being closely watched and not just in a way of how they do business. IMHO, Musk needs to at least temper his natural political instincts or tendencies, otherwise he will ultimately take the mother of economic hits to his various bottom lines.

  5. They say that six out of ten Ontarians don’t approve of what the Ford government is doing. But divide and conquer might split the difference in the next election. Probably but it’s not a guarantee.

  6. The convoy. What Warren said. Absolutely.

  7. Collective Mental Note for Tuesday Night: pick up Irish Whiskey. I’m more than likely going to need it, desperately.

      And if the polls are to be believed, it will be white women that will had it to them. Given how they voted in 2016, they are a less reliable block than you think and I am less concerned than you are about the job Pierre is doing to win them over up here.

      • Martin,

        I’m more wait and see now than seriously concerned but you, I, every Conservative and Pierre know that the leader will either win them over in substantial percentages or he won’t. I’m not about to call it either way.
