Music great as usual. Especially the Menzingers track. Had one-had to be from this podcast.
Should probably keep this on the down low because of the advice provided about the MSM but about 1:20 in:

Note my friend Ryan Leef sitting right in the middle. Hopefully he runs again if only for the comedy relief. He is one of the funniest guys I know. Kevin Sullivan was always his straight man when I trained with those guys once in a while a million years ago. Hard to catch your breath when you are laughing your ass off between intervals.

He must be thinking about it because he has remembered how to not actually answer a question when asked. Must be like riding a horse.
The last time Justin faced the House was June 21st. It fires up tomorrow and Justin will show up(I assume) but then he is off to NY with Joly for three days and he never shows up Friday(Pierre does regularly). Pretty good work if you can get it. Although the Liberals have maintained the ability to meet by zoom so why can’t he take a 45 minute break from whatever he is doing with Joly and show up for QP? Just a thought.
Martin,
One assumes they’re going to the UN General Assembly. What an absolute thrill it will be for the other delegations: trying to one-up each other in the race to determine which one of those two is the ultimate Canadian political lightweight. I would say they’re easily matched at about the same very, very, very, low frequency. In that song, neither of those two is Ginette Reno. Both are that vibe that Céline Dion represents. (Un peu plus haut, un peu plus loin.)
If the Opposition is smart (a big If), they’ll play up the fact that the PM seldom shows up for work while the common folk continues to struggle.
There’s plenty of mileage in this, if done well, and often, on social media.
Three days in the Big Apple doesn’t play well with those experiencing hardship.
Douglas,
Well, it certainly worked like a charm for Jack when he brought it up against Michael in the debates.
The polluter in chief is flying to New York to lecture other world leaders on climate change.
He should have taken an electric vehicle.
Perhaps he should invest his trust fund in solar powered dirigibles? Then he could fly in stately comfort.
Warren,
But always remember that God has finally blessed you with E.
Warren,
What the fuck has CMHC done since 2015? And what has Trudeau done about it since then? Squat. Until now, and only now because the political fire has already been lit under his ass. If he was still ahead in the polls, Trudeau would still be doing diddly. That’s reality. The JustinOpportunistsTM: like Warren said, too little, too late. Bang on!
Warren,
People are sick of his face, period, as you’ve said so often before.
Warren,
A lot of the governors are term-limited. The Prez too and some legislators but no one in DC is term-limited. The House and Senate both should be and most of all, the SCOTUS.
Poor House of Commons, that inflation must be hurting all of them so terribly. No wonder Trudeau is giving some of them (Liberals) extra bucks as PSs.
Cry me a river.
Warren,
Don’t believe the polls, most especially a fifteen-point lead. Not happening, in reality. Like I said, work as if you could lose your entire lead in a New York minute. That’s how you build, hopefully to a CPC majority. And you MUST give Byrne the widest possible political berth in Canadian history. Otherwise…well, they know what will happen. The OLO aren’t stupid, so far.
I agree, Byrne’s approach of going for the jugular and labelling M. Charest a Liberal in the first five minutes of the leadership campaign worked like a charm on “the base”(who of course could never differentiate between the LPOC and the Quebec Liberal Party….for the very same reason the BC Liberal Party is now BC United). For a national campaign, much more finesse is needed…..if not I suspect this will be the result: https://giphy.com/gifs/dumpster-fire-pittsburgh-QLyhWVTvAHbAbAdWcp
Mr Kinsella: Before I could listen to the political discourse(informative and interesting, as usual), I first had to track down the first cut played on your show. Video Age has just become my favourite new group.
You might consider putting such catchy, uplifting, and listenable tunes after the chat…..just sayin’.
Someone else with the right priorities.
Is Trudeau going to one of those fancy hotels where all the migrants are now being housed? That would be funny. Probably staying with a millionaire friend.
Nicola,
Maybe at our consulate-general.
Anyone who thinks Pierre and his party are anti immigrant need to pay attention to two out of the three MPs he introduced to the House today. A beyond laughable ridiculous talking point.
I really don’t know what people expect to get from PP, aside from being embarrassed on the international stage, and shock and awed at home by his whacko base and penchant for conspiracy theory. I get that any politician would suffer when inflation goes bonkers, and housing turns into a crisis, but PP is no improvement. On housing he doesn’t have anything special to offer, on top of that he’s just such an idiot – we’ll have a moron for a pm if we elect that putz, something that seems like a foregone conclusion.
Hey Curious, here’s a thought, why don’t you respond to some of the comments and questions directed at you on some other threads instead of just randomly dropping your usual tiresome PP tirades out of context. You won’t because you can’t. So carry on.
Curious V,
You just kill me. So, you think Pierre is an idiot and a moron. Given that his IQ is demonstrably at least leaps and bounds higher than your guy…so, what does that make Trudeau exactly? LOL.
Yes Ronald, and on that point, yesterday Pierre asked Justin about housing and Justin couldn’t follow the narrative and went into some bizarre ridiculous rant about abortion.
You assume his IQ is higher because you support him, but who knows. I really doubt PP has a higher IQ than Trudeau. He’s a parrot is all, and some may mistake that for intelligence.
No that is not why he is making that assumption. You just need to watch and listen to them. Which I do, a lot. Someone was making fun of me on The Twitter because I spend an average of 11 minutes a day all year watching question period. One thing about that is you can figure out pretty quickly who is a moron on BOTH sides of the aisle.

Martin,
Watch attendance in the General Assembly for Trudeau’s speech. That will be telling, to say the least.
I have news for you, Curious V. The current PM is a moron and many agree with me.
I’d caution against raising the likes of Justin Trudeau to the level of moron…. as it would tend to diminish the intellectual distinction of morons.
Except that Poilievre presented a housing bill which is costed, includes incentives, directive consequences, projections and even anticipates possible shortcomings. Can anyone coherently articulate why why 100% of the Liberal caucus wouldn’t rise to support Pierre Poilievre’s comprehensive housing plan?
I liked Warren’s tweet where he said, “Just when I think the Trudeau government can’t shock me anymore, they send their Environment Minister to China, the biggest polluter on the planet, to sing the praises of a fascistic regime that uses slave labor, interferes in our elections, and illegally imprisoned Canadians for years. ”
Obviously Steven Guilbeault admires the Chinese dictatorship as much, or even more than, his boss Justin Trudeau. Or his his boss Xi?
Warren,
Manley says HimselfTM needs to go:

This is the first snowball. How many more are coming? If this turns into a snowball tide, then who knows, this might get some serious traction. But I won’t be holding my breath, in the interim.
Tasha raised a very important issue in this podcast which should receive more discussion.
The streaming of foreigners into our post secondary education system has gotten out of control. There is big, big money in Canada’s degree / diploma mills cranking in foreign dollars in exchange for dreams…
Dreams aren’t the problem… Post Secondary education in Canada has become a public spending racket. Their own published stats often show that about 85-90% of graduates don’t even work in their field of study.
I can’t even imagine why anyone would travel overseas to study in Canada. Most of these grads will be qualified for…. 20-30 years as a minimum wage security guard at a bus terminal. If they’re lucky.
All of these students are indeed an added and unnecessary stressor on the housing market. These institutions need to explain themselves and should receive at least the same the same level of perfunctory scrutiny directed at grocery store executives.
