The president is just such a stupid asshole. I know we try to ascribe motives to this guy but he’s at the end of the day, when the story is written, just a dumdum idiot with a tiny brain that don’t work so good.

I have boundless empathy for Canadians who voted for Carney because his name wasn't Poilievre, but man, watching Mr. "Elbows Up" turn around and start a firesale of our public assets for foreign (American) investment has gotta be a bitter pill.

This is disgusting, and Doug Ford does not get to shrug it off. Spying on a woman who is one of your political opponents on her private vacation is creepy Trump-style politics that has no place here. Women already face enough barriers in politics without this kind of behaviour.

Weird that we name bridges, highways, parks, buildings, ships, ports and more after people, but not oil pipelines. Do people not want pipelines named after themselves? I think we should try it out on this one. Call it the Mark Carney Decarbonized Oil Expressway.

Northern Ontario is burning. Today, I’m calling for immediate action: ✅ Declare a provincial state of emergency ✅ Remove barriers between jurisdictions so emergency assistance can be provided quickly ✅ Show up: house every evacuee, resource every fire crew, and rebuild every affected community

In the heat of the evacuations, and with a lack of reliable information, evacuees are hearing rumours — including fears that if their homes are razed by wildfires, it will be easier for industry to start mining in their community.

Reminder that Carney has cut funding for Natural Resources Canada, Environment and Climate Change Canada, Indigenous and Northern Affairs, and Indigenous Services. And he has rolled back climate protections, abandoned emissions targets, and is building more pipelines.
Carney:

"The wildfire situation has escalated significantly over the last three weeks across the country, and particularly in Northwestern Ontario. 

Thousands of people have been forced to evacuate their communities, not knowing if their homes will survive.  
 
On behalf of Canadians, I want to thank the brave firefighters, first responders, Indigenous and local leaders who are working tirelessly to keep people safe.
 
Our government is in close contact with provincial, municipal, and Indigenous partners and stands ready to provide any additional support as needed."

Maybe a hot take but I'm fine with Alfie going to the Leafs. It's a promotion for a guy who wants to be a head coach one day, and the way the powerplay looked during the playoffs, I'm not sure things were trending that way here. This is preferable to him getting fired in Ottawa IMO.
