Bob Rae on fighting for democracy: "I think it's really important for people to understand that this is the battle of our lifetime. And our grandparents and our parents fought that battle in the Second World War. We had it on easy street for quite a while. And now we've got to fight again." #cdnpoli

I’d suggest that maybe there’s a god after all, but it would beg the question of why she allowed the slaughter of the Palestinians in the first place.

If the Alberta NDP had any jam they'd go after this *hard* and call out the premier's ongoing campaign to turn Albertans into victims and whiners. That's not the Alberta of Lougheed, Notley...not even Klein. Instead, they'll probably talk about how these grievances are "legitimate". #abpoli

I’m just getting so tired of this desperate search for relevance in the current moment. We’re not going to be EU members. “Associate membership” is not the same thing, and it’s especially nowhere near forced annexation by the US. Grow the fuck up, guys. We need a competent opposition party.
Shuv Majumdar

The 51st state was a bad idea. 

So too would be the EU’s 28th state. 

Our sovereignty is not for sale, not to America, not to Europe, not to Beijing, not to anyone.

Prime Minister, can we please just have the self respect to build our own country with our own money and our own people? Can we get competitive with Washington and the world, and unleash the economic powerhouse that Canadians demand and deserve?

Quoting Adam Chambers:

The PM's speech should come simultaneously with immediate ratification of CETA by EU holdouts and resolution of market access barriers for Canadian agriculture products like beef and pork.
Anything short is just fluff. Words on a page.
