The RCMP will be investigating the sun sinking. Comforting to know they have nothing better to do.
Sub sinking.
Spell check changed sub to sun on me, and then after I corrected it, it changed it again!
If gender equality in the cabinet means that we are going to get more people like Joly, then I wish he would have broken that promise. Anyone who draws any other conclusion from Oxford other than the fact that MacKenzie and Tait are a couple of whiny lazy entitled now Tru-anon losers, they are not paying attention to what happened there. Spiritual Cramp track great as was Teenage Bottlerocket. No Stevie?
Martin,
As a MacKenzie myself, I sure wouldn’t support another party just because family considerations didn’t exactly break my way. But that’s just me.
Peter,
Do they actually think this is the end of it? If so, they collectively need to have their heads examined.
Warren,
Yeah, no party in Canada respects married women more than the Trudeau Liberals. What a riot.
Warren,
Putin didn’t hi-tail it to Saint Petersburg just to get a change of scenery.
Putin just doesn’t do genuine amnesty.
Will Prigozhin get the fly out of window treatment? Or the Novichok treatment, or the polonium treatment?
Peter,
With Navalny, it’s apparently his BVDs.
Warren,
The ballot question is prime ministerial fatigue, just like Harper had to deal with in 2015. If most people vote, Trudeau is very likely out on his ass. Finally.
Trudeau’s biggest advantage, as usual, is the structural Liberal Party advantage of efficient seat/vote distribution relative to the Conservatives. Plus the fact that certain influential hard-right Conservatives are in serious denial about the need to win seats in urban areas in order to have a chance at forming government.
Poilievre is the most influential of the hard-right wing Conservatives.
So funny. Just once, I would like to see you answer a question about your boy. Understandable you can’t. It is not possible. So, carry on. And, Doc, no one is in serious denial about needing to win more urban votes but you do you. Name them. I’ll wait.
It’s one thing to talk about needing to win urban seats — talk is cheap, as they say. It’s quite another thing to actually look and act like you want to to it and to do things in furtherance of that goal. For quite some time now — really since a brief lucid interval during the Harper years — the CPC has essentially done SFA to seriously pursue that goal. I live in one of Canada’s largest cities, and the CPC is fucking invisible here — except when one of their caucus members says something really stupid. And I’ve never voted Liberal or NDP in my life BTW.
As I have said before, charity begins at home. In 2005, our local Fed EDA had 2000.00 in the bank, the provincial EDA had zero, a Liberal mayor, a Liberal MP and a Liberal MPP. A few of us went to work. Now we have a a Tory at all three levels. At one point the federal EDA was one of the top 25 richest in the country of any of the parties. Tough to compete against people like Harper. We still have enough to fight two federal elections and enough in the bank to fight the next provincial one. I assume everyone sitting behind their keyboards are working as hard as they can and not just giving out advice, but, if not, look in the mirror.
Martin,
Have sent 1700 in the past to MacKay, Aitchison and as you know, my MP (Deltell) is next on the list.
That’s great Ronald but you probably know better than anyone that when it comes to charitable and political efforts, giving money is much easier to do than giving time. Both is the most ideal.
I agree with Lilly. If an election were held today the results would mirror the current parliament.
The by-election results certainly suggest that. I agree with Coyne and the At Issue panel on CBC, too, that the Tories should be concerned about their performance in Winnipeg, where their share of the vote appreciably dropped. That’s not supposed to happen to opposition parties that have positive momentum (duh).
Maybe they should be concerned but to draw any conclusions from these by-elections(see my comments about Oxford) is a fool’s game. One that, of course, Coyne would play(see all earlier comments about him and 2015). Laurentian Elite personified. Your mileage clearly varies though.
As much as we all want Putin gone, it’s scary that such a huge arsenal of nuclear weapons could fall into the hands of the Wagner Group – Maybe not this time, but the cracks in his regime are becoming glaringly obvious. Elites who usually tow the line out of fear, some of them will start musing about a replacement – could end up being worse.
Joe keeps saying Putin is losing in Iraq.
Martin,
If Joe thinks his inflation, thanks to Powell, will be back down to 2% by some time next year, he’s living in his own personal fantasy world. It’ll nail him but good in ’24.
