Was pleased to see youâve chosen Rebecca Chartrand as Minister for Northern Affairs. Churchill should now be primed for the attention it deserves!

Instead of turfing their leaders for losing what they feel should have been a winnable election, look inside your tent and see where the rot is. Venting the tent wonât help their cause; kicking them out and closing the zipper will!

That isnât happening in this case. If Premier Smith (and those who have a stake in this federal election both fiscally and socially) canât see that, then they are delusional. Instead of what ails Canada being the âliberalsâ faultâ, itâs time to take a TRUE look within.

âŚThe loyalty to the extreme fringe of their base. Any government needs a strong opposition, and objectively, Iâve always wanted parties to bring their best, even those I disagree with. Even the great unifiers can identify what isnât acceptable from their most fervent supporters.

Theyâve imploded the last two federal elections because they felt both Andrew Scheer and Erin OâToole missed the open net. Scheer aside (insufferable then, even more today), Mr. OâToole probably would have been easily elected this time around. But the party fails to see what ails them⌠which is:

Wexiters and 51st Staters in Alberta must be hearing footsteps, because theyâve already said âIf the Liberals win, weâre out of here.â Premier Smith has already said a Carney win will spark a ânational unity crisisâ. What they fail to see is the Conservatives are doing this to themselves.

3) The âtaxâ has already been axed. Mr. Poilievreâs insistence on this being a Carbon Tax Election will fall on deaf ears; not with his base, but (say it with me) the swing voters.

2) Mr. Poilievre is also not disavowing, condemning, or distancing himself from the extreme fringe of his base (MAGA, Canada Proud, etc.), which those pesky swing voters most likely donât agree with.

Anyway, feeling especially anxious about the world today but with an optimism I truly believe that good can and will happen. Respect for each other, and then getting to actual work on ending conflicts with true apolitical peace.
Just be good to each other, dammit. Itâs not that hard.

That would heal a lot of what weâre seeing right now. A lot of folks welcomed back at dinner tables and buddies reconnecting. An agreement that at least for now, country comes first even if partisan rhetoric comes a close second.

Trump finally wonât be able wont be able to talk and dance around some so concretely his fault, and I pray that by then the democrats will have someone who is a true uniter and leader who has just a little common sense.

Thereâs gonna be a shitload of chaos coming. Our own election notwithstanding, I think the MAGA crowd is gonna lose a bunch of followers. Iâm an optimist and I still think itâs a bold but possible take. Life is gonna go south in the states and some magas are gonna be like âok wtf Trump?â

I hate to even call it Twitter because itâs nowhere close to what Twitter was once upon a time. X is so lame to even say. Mirrors their owner. Lame to the absolute max. Giving actual astronauts on the space station grief? Calling them idiots or something. What honest to God is happening?!

Itâs not a Churchill vs. Port Nelson thing. That was settled a hundred years ago. MB would be better served by using that $7M for that feasibility study on doing something practically substantial and putting it toward the extension of the hydro line into Nunavut.

âUnfixable muskeg rail bedâ Yea, maybe when OmniTrax owned it. The writer may not have heard that the rail has been worked on for the last, what, 3 years? More weight allowance and quicker trains. What is she talking about?

Port Nelson canât accommodate ANY ships, and believe me, Churchill upgrades would be in place before any feasibility study would even be finished.
