Keep in mind, Liberals have won minorities past two elections with barely 32 - 33 per cent of vote. Cons beat them in both last two election in popular vote. It wouldn't take much for Cons to lose again and Liberals squeak out another minority. Highly likely.

If the topic was "What do Canadians & Americans think about current state of relations between our 2 nations based on comments and policies voiced by Donald Trump", no one would have an issue. The topic as it i, is a click bait topic to get people upset in Canada. CBC should be better than this.

Fair take on this news. It was no surprise to me. About a year and half ago, I posted that it was clear Eon had no intention to lead another Bond film and they were negotiating with Amazon for a price to step back. That's what happened. Hopefully, new film and Bond will be announced forthwith.

Best Jersey ever. #Canpoli #Canada #Hockey

Be great if CBC would have set funding so politicians can’t jerk funding annually based on a whim. That’s gutted the CBC since the 1980s. Too bad Liberals didn’t do this early in their mandate.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

"Inflation is back" - Trump, the guy who promised he would lower prices on day 1

We highly recommend you follow 22 MInutes. We need comedy when we are facing tragedy. (Please note: it doesn't help that they have a dash after 22, when trying to find them. Although I'm sure there's a reason). @22-minutes.bsky.social

Not a bad idea asking leaders during Ontario debate what was first job or what they would cook… a few personal question is a nice way for voters to see another side of them. #onpoli

Makes for great TV spot during election. Carney does have match this. A bit of a jump to say he has reclaimed political narrative.

The one on one debate section works better for sure and nice that journalists asking questions during Ontario debate. Those Joe and Josephine Public questions during a debate are pointless. #onpoli

Thought Crombie seemed nervous at start of the debate. Stiles came across as a bit too animated. #onpoli

This four-way debate part of the Ontario debate doesn’t work. Two people, it works. Three… maybe. Four is crazy and Common seems unable to control it. #onpoli

Must admit, in first few minutes of debate Green leader @mikeschreiner.bsky.social is best. Well spoken… too bad he wasn’t Liberal leader. #onpoli

I like the format at start of Ontario leaders debate…. David Common good moderator and questions are revealing. Doubtful Dougie made that money at Canada Packers .. he had a sideline. #onpoli #ondebate

The trucker convoy was financed by MAGA. Poilievre fed them donuts and coffee He’s not on our side. www.politico.com/news/2022/02...

When people see the maple leaf, they see possibility. They see freedom. They see a helping hand. They see Canada, and the best of our values. Happy 60th to our flag. 🇨🇦

Appropriate phrase for Great White North.

❤️

There is no limit to MAGA performative idiocy.

Nice our flag has been liberated from the Convoy crowd. Be nice if that movement moved back under a rock where it belongs.

Top clown and his sidekick…. As this point, looking more and more that Trump is the sidekick. And time to ditch the ball cap Elon!

Time for the naysayers claiming no Liberal upward trend -- said polls being cited outliars or crap. Nanos is reputable and usually on the money. These number look right. It may be the federal vote could be turning into an interesting contest.

I don't get why people are so crazy about plastic straws... prior to the 1960s I am pretty sure the standard was paper. It worked then why not now. I have used paper ones and find they are fine. Stupid people obsessed with dump things like right to a plastic straw. UGGH!

Someone should really take the Sharpie away from... we all would be happy about that.

So... his commitment of last week was a joke... no 25% tariffs on everything for 30 days but okay to tariff other things now. You can't negotiate with a jackass like this... it's all BS and con jobs from him every day. If only we could mute or turn of this show -- pretty hard to these days.

FFS! Another Monday of insanity. This guy is sickening... enough already. Something has to give here. Not impressed with US business community -- somehow they see his moves as enriching them which is sad and unfortunate on so many levels. My guess is lower taxes and wider access to markets worth it.

Oct 2024; the McGill Center for Media, Tech, and Democracy published a national survey of Canadians on public service media titled "Do We Need the CBC?" - the public's answer is yes. You can find the full published study hyperlinked in this article: www.mediatechdemocracy.com/all-work/can...

And yet average person seems to ignore this huge problem and just blame successive gov’ts for their dwindling income etc. Until system rejigged to make big companies and utltra rich pay up , everyone else will suffer. Simple. Smarten up people.

At Cabaret yesterday, Cliff said his line “…if you’re not against all this then you’re for it. Or you might as well be”. The audience interrupted the scene to applaud that line so strongly it stopped the show. Doing a show about the onset of fascism right now is. . . chilling.

I will admit, I have always found NFL football to be highly boring.. tons of play stops and timeouts. Never watched an entire Super Bowl in my entire life and haven't tuned in at all for decades. Some advise to my fellow Canadians... boycott the game and don't celebrate it. It's a US thing!

My gut says this will soon be quaint relic of the 2020s. It has to evolve. Concept behind makes sense but execution has been a disaster.

Watching Season 2 of #Severance. The key plot point of people living with an at work brain and and after work brain may sound like radical sci fi but my guess is we're closer than we realize. Trump whisperer Elon Musk is actively working on similar stuff. This show my be the future. Let that sink in

Let’s agree name will be changed to Trump enter as his first act as Chair.

If this doesn’t take her down something will eventually. Worst Alberta Premier ever. Many had strong views not always great for Canada but at least they were competent.

See my last post

Yet Cons lead polls by wide margin. What gives?
