This is awkward... Today Nenshi asked Amery about the missing pages from the Wyant Report... Amery indignantly insisted Nenshi didn't know what he was talking about. Hours before the pages were added back in. Did Amery not even know? Not a great look for the lawyer in chief.

Our billionaire Treasury Secretary called Denmark “irrelevant.” Hmm. Unlike the US, in Denmark, health care & college are free, the starting wage is $22 an hour, paid parental leave is 1 year, paid vacation is 6 weeks & all workers get pensions. That seems very relevant to me.
