Meta and X are absolutely going to interfere in the upcoming Canadian federal election. What is Elections Canada doing about this, besides collecting a paycheque?

This means that Musk's *private* security detail will now have considerable freedom to shoot and kill anyone they perceive as a threat, and it will be very difficult to hold them accountable as they will be awarded the protection granted to law enforcement officers.

I'm looking forward to the post mortem of the Ontario provincial election, to truly appreciate the stupidity and laziness of this province's electorate, which I predict will give Doug Ford another whopping majority. That's my prediction. And the Liberals and NDP should share the blame.

Well, who could have seen *that* coming?

This is why I keep saying that we are absolutely screwed in Ontario ... the people who live here are morons.

It would mean the merciful end of CBC News. I'm assuming that's what you were asking.

Was Ian Hanomansing a DEI hire? Discuss.

Dear struggling MAGAts: Guess where your next Social Security cheque went. Go on, guess.

You want the clearest evidence that Ontario is screwed with respect to the upcoming election? The respective leaders of the provincial Liberals and NDP have shown no sign of urgency in terms of co-operating to prevent the coming nightmare. They're still in it strictly for themselves.

Anyone taking bets on what sort of disaster this is going to be?

*Sigh* ... again, none of this anger matters as they're going to vote Republican when the time comes. Christ, but the electorate *everywhere* is stupid. You want proof? Wait for February 27. Just wait.

Given that there is nothing we can do to change Doug Ford's mind about shoveling $100M to Elon Musk for Starlink, if I had the chance to explain the stupidity of that decision, I think I might take this approach.

I have said this repeatedly ... those polls don't matter because by the time the next House elections come around, the U.S. will have been looted in ways that can never be reversed. It's simply too late to do anything about this.

Tune in next week to Cross Country Checkup: "Child pornography -- should it really be a crime? We chat with former Harper senior adviser Tom Flanagan about the pros and cons."

If Hanomansing were any more clueless, he'd be Michelle Ferreri.

Dear CBC: Canada as the 51st state will mean that the CBC will be defunded entirely, so please, keep promoting the idea with no thought as to the consequences.

Tune in next week for Conrad Black's upcoming op-ed: "Ethics -- do we really need them?"

I believe this is Exhibit 'A' as to why CBC News needs to be burned to the ground.

Oh, look ... here's Rebel News Obergruppenfuhrer Ezra Levant, lying blatantly about why Ruby Dhalla was disqualified from the Liberal leadership race. The numerous reasons are detailed here: www.cbc.ca/news/politic... So, yeah, Ezra is lying. Pretend to look shocked.

In case you want to know how seriously to take this right-wing propagandist and foreign asset, well, ... Just block.

Pretty sure I've been saying exactly this for the last several months: www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

YouTube juxtaposition: When Babylon 5 meets Rush.

Can someone explain to Doug Ford that Elon Musk controls the functioning of Starlink and Musk can deactivate it any time he wants? You know, like, say, as part of an economic bullying strategy?

Now that the Liberals have disqualified Ruby Dhalla, they shouldn't return her $350,000 deposit until she discloses where the money came from and identifies all of her foreign backers. Who's with me?

Well, sure ... if the American Constitution needed adult diapers.

Canada is renaming the Gulf of America 🍁

This is not the issue; the issue is that the entire room of legitimate journalists did not walk out en masse in solidarity with AP. To their everlasting shame.

Some Democrat should introduce a bill that mandates the death penalty for convicted felons. Really, do it. The entertainment value would go to 11.

Can someone ask Trump fan boi Doug Ford about this? The idea of executing drug dealers?

Anyone think the whole point here is to dismember mail-in voting, which is used predominantly by Democrats?

Why does this matter ... they're going to re-elect him anyway. They're even stupider than Ontarians.

Can the Kennedy family not remove their association with the Kennedy Center so that it has to stop using their name?

And if they don't comply, he will issue an even *more* sternly-worded warning.

You mean Elon Musk lied to someone? No way. Get outta here.

Even as we vow to "buy Canadian," can we agree to pass on anything from the wineries of disgusting traitors Kevin O'Leary and Wayne Gretzky?

This is why even progressives don't trust Democrats: prospect.org/justice/2025...

This has nothing to do with efficiency or cost savings -- it's simple spite.
