The UCP wants you to get bogged down on the policy debates around infill. Don't be fooled. Their intrusion into local democracy reveals something far more troubling to folks across the political spectrum. drjaredwesley.substack.com/p/this-isnt-...

Why bother having civic elections if the UCP keeps overriding municipal decisions? That's a question from @keithgerein.bsky.social. He says UCP intervention on zoning issues add to a pattern of a govt ignoring municipal boundaries and voters for political gain. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/a...

“Rath says viability of law firm 'at serious risk’” No shit, Sherlock. Between 10 and 30 race horses, 31 bank accounts across 9 institutions, millions of dollars of (allegedly) misappropriated funds, and one whopping separation campaign, this grifters world is crumbling to dust. Well deserved.

I agree that we should be using as much Canadian steel as possible for nation-building projects. But when we don't make the thing, we have to buy it from somewhere else. For a guy who claims to care so much about getting energy projects built, he sure doesn't know much about them.

This isn't just grasping at straws -- it's grasping at thin air. LNG Canada uses steel modules fabricated in China because we don't make them here. The first phase was built in large part because of a duty waiver the Trudeau government granted. Would PP like to see the project not built at all?
