"His French sounding name should play well in Quebec" "Pierre's French is miles better than Carney's which should be an advantage in Quebec" And yet Pierre was rejected in Quebec. They know a phony when they see one. Quebecers may be the smartest, most intuitive voters in the country.

This is Trump's M.O. 1) he makes an unpopular decision or gets himself into unpopular territory then... 2) reverse a sensible progressive policy at random that really is inconsequential (like reinstating Columbus Day) to remind everyone: "remember how WOKE the other side is?!"

Well, this isn't hard to figure out. Conservatives are the bettors because they are far more likely to treat elections like sporting events.

I find it interesting that at the end of her rant she refers to Carney's 'fancy resume' and somehow makes it a weakness. I've heard other Conservatives do this as well. Meanwhile, they spent the past 10 years deriding Trudeau as 'just a drama teacher'

Make up your mind, Conservatives. Are you for the middle-class hard-working Canadians like you claim? or the 1% listed below? Cuz you can't really be for both. On top of that, I'm not sure this will work. I don't think we have the same veneration for billionaires that they have in the US.

This is my PM. He talks to Canadians like they're grown-ups. No stupid rhyming slogans or nicknames. Articulate, determined and firm. Serious, but can show a fun side every so often (Mike Myers, Daily Show,etc). This is the election of our lives, Canada🇨🇦. Hold the line and don't screw this up.

While I despise US leadership right now, I'm not really comfortable with a national anthem being booed On the other hand, it pissed off Pat McAfee so it all evens out www.tmz.com/2025/03/02/w...

Me going on Netflix and randomly choosing an old episode of Monday Night Raw to watch and then part way through realizing it's the one where Stone Cold Steve Austin beats up Bret Hart in the ambulance...

Almost done my screenplay about aliens who visit Earth just after a nuclear bomb and after a long search for any sort of civilization, the only vestiges of language they find left over are the remnants of comic book pages featuring onomatopoeia. It's called Apocalypse POW!

Well, I did it. I deactivated my X account. BlueSky is everything Twitter once was... a place you can have civilized discourse, learn cool things, share personal stories without judgment and just have some silly fun! But my #1 reason I deactivated: Musk Goodbye, Twitter. Was fun while it lasted

For those just discovering the Episcopal church this week, let's make it easy: Anglican: catholicism without the guilt Episcopalian: Anglican without the Crown And the reason the National Cathedral is Episcopalian is because the founding fathers were Episcopalian (Anglican before the revolution)

Two thoughts: 1) this makes me proud to be Anglican/Episcopalian 2) I honestly believe there is a silent majority of progressive Christians (myself included). We need to start speaking up like this amazing bishop!

Hands up if you have "Alberta replaces Quebec as the petulant child of Confederation" on your "Canada in the 21st Century" bingo card.
