I've been waiting for this to happen for years. Will this spur us to dump fptp? Not a chance.

Well, he doesn't seem bothered by Bill 11. That seems cruel. He doesn't seem bothered by indigenous rights. I think he fits right in.

He means the bankers of Canada. The people can live without the pipeline. They should spend the $40B on renewables + storage batteries instead. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

Funding private health care in Ontario costs more and leads to longer waits
Amid belt-tightening at Sarnia's hospital, and others in Ontario, provincial investment in for-profit clinics has been on the rise.

It's weird. That poster was calling for the nationalization of Stelco, something Carney would commit ritual suicide to avoid, but somehow saying that offends them to their core. They are so fragile they can't face reality, like at all.

It's as if a switch goes off in their brain. Even when they themselves want the government to do something it will never do under Carney, if you criticize him, they just fall to pieces.

The Works Progress Administration was created in May 1935 as part of the New Deal to provide jobs to the unemployed during the Great Depression. One of the WPA’s most idealistic goals was to send books and librarians to areas where there were none. Read more: bit.ly/4hkgtNC #ALA150

Like so many things in the first year of Carney's tenure, this is straight out of the Harper era. ElectroMotive in London, Navistar in Chatham...both took government money and gave job guarantees, both kept the money and bailed anyway. In response, the government...did nothing.

I don't see enough discussion that, aside from establishing facts and removal from office, the point of impeachment is to *disqualify* all these people from ever holding federal office again. Whiskey Pete wants to run for President and he should be barred from doing so.
