Someone posted a CBC headline from last year that referred to the Liberals as winning a fourth consecutive mandate in the election - and they had a minority government at the time!

It would be great if you would put as much effort into preventing Trump from doing more damage to your country / the world as you do into explaining your definition of “mandate”.

You might want to look up the definition of the word “mandate”.

It would be funny if it weren’t an indication of how little responsibility they feel for their own government. Which makes you wonder if they have the fortitude to do what’s necessary to make another Trump unlikely.

That was why I chose that timeline.

Has anyone looked up the definition of mandate lately?

He didn’t go to jail after January 6, so forgive us if the rest of the world waits to see what actually happens after the actuarial table catches up with him.

You not wanting me to make things seem worse than they are is kind of making Fawcett’s point for him. Sorry to be the one to tell you this, but things are really bad. Maybe let’s agree to disagree and meet back here in late January, when the new congress has been seated?

A lot of us in other countries have multiple parties and see leaders elected without 50%+1 of the vote all the time. You can argue the merits of different systems that result in this outcome, but it’s still the outcome. And maybe quibbling over a word choice is missing the entire point.

It’s the last number in that paragraph that hits.

You may want to look up the definition of “mandate” and also consider the possibility that particular word choice is not the most important part of his argument.

Disappointing that these countries still think they can rely on Trump to defend them from Putin

Read the details on what limited portion of the airports that the government is proposing to sell. It’s maybe not on the same scope as what you are thinking

The myth Alberta 'subsidizes' the rest of Canada is the most powerful meme in the separatist armoury. But it's utterly false. I show that most Albertans get more back from federal programs than they personally pay in federal taxes, for @thetyee.ca: thetyee.ca/Opinion/2026... #abpoli /2

The vast majority of workers get more from federal programs than they give.

Carney’s ambition for Canada is my favourite thing about him.

Canada is actually going to keep Lake Ontario and then rename Erie, Huron and Superior all the Ontario as well. The new acronym will be MOOOO.

I was wishing today, while watching Carney tout our status as a highly educated population, that education was a federal responsibility.

Yes! I don’t think the name Intelligence is quite right for what I’ve experienced of it. But “manifestation of the average” doesn’t quite roll off the tongue, or quite capture it either.

Aren’t you someone who can do something about that last one?

This is a rhetorical question, right? I mean you know the answer is “no”. Art of the deal means not paying your suppliers, so this tracks…

We’ve been over this before: Every Global 7500 that Bombardier builds in 🇨🇦 has 2 GE engines built in Indiana, 🇺🇸. Every Challenger that Bombardier builds in 🇨🇦 has 2 Honeywell engines built in Arizona. 🇺🇸. Bombardier employs 3,000+ 🇺🇸s & has 2,800 🇺🇸 suppliers. Not so smart.

In the absence of PR we need the non-PC parties to work together / collapse into one alternative.

You made me curious. A top tier Ford Explorer costs a little more than $11 a pound

Can this go to the Supreme Court- at least as a stall tactic? Maybe take longer than Ford’s term??
