    Best musical podcast yet. Grumpster, Hextalls and Clap For Alaska tracks all bangers. Really good. Grumpster channels the Doughboys(Canadian version).

    Oh and on the other stuff on the podcast between songs. Like how we all trusted Big Pharma during Covid, it also boggles my mind that a majority of us trusted the people from the government given that we generally don’t believe a word that comes out of their mouths on budgets. Blind trust, basically.

    Warren,

    Does this mean Mraz is not incognito, doing Canada’s business at CSIS?

      I would never work for what CSIS pays. Which hypothetically explains why they don’t have the needed humint to do the job they could be, and need to be doing.

    Yup. Cy Vance passed on this FFS. Bragg is clearly rolling the dice and that’s not smart in a courtroom. You learn that in Law 101…

      Wonder if David Pecker was the last-minute witness.

      I love how so many people are passing immediate slap dash judgement on the case without hearing a damn word about the actual case *from the prosecutors* . Can we just give them a f$&king chance and hear what they have to say at the press conference / in court today ?!?!?

    Yup, they don’t give a shit. The take for granted that a plurality of voters will re-elect them by rote. They’re wrong.

      Yup, they don’t give a shit. They take it for granted that a plurality of voters will re-elect them by rote. They’re wrong. Better.

    This potential lawsuit does not pass the Bernier smell test. End of story, as the plaintiff will eventually find out.

      Hum. Dictionary definitions: de facto versus de jure. Too clever by half, a government specialty.

    A good start would be getting out of provincial policing. Let each province constitute their own force, as Quebec, Ontario and Newfoundland and Labrador did ages ago. Apparently, Alberta is likely to be next. The feds should put the provinces on notice now and give them a five-year transition period to act.

    Freeland is quite simply going through the motions. Her mind is already focused on her next gig, in the private sector.

      Re Freeland’s next gig in the private sector.

      Based on past practice (at Reuters and as Minister of Finance) she’ll drive any private entity that hires her into bankruptcy.

      And I’m not sure a Liberal government would throw lucrative contracts her new company’s way

    The thing is, with Putin, is, when a gal gets blown up in her car and a guy in a restaurant, are either of those a representation of Putin’s considerable strength or weakness? Exactly.

    It reminds me of …

      Proud Democrats. Read Caro’s 4 volume bio of LBJ. Riveting reading. Couldn’t put them down. Must read for anyone interested in politics. Can’t wait for volume 5. Volume 2 and the story about how LBJ carried on a long standing Democratic tradition of stealing elections in the 1948 Senate election is particularly interesting. LBJ and his career long corruption make JT and T look like pikers.

        I’ve read several books on Johnson. Lyndon was a master of crooked politics.

          You should read the Caro books if you haven’t.

    Since he recently got another big raise, I’m wondering if Mr Steven Guilbeault has finally paid his five figure tax arrears?

      Hopefully they garnisheed his wages like they do with “everyday” people.

    Justin Trudeau appoints a woman to be Ethics Commissioner and promptly cuts her salary
