Agree that recall triggers and processes are long overdue, and at all levels of Parliament; e.g. HoC (chopper Pete MacKay), Senate (Duffy), GG (Payette), governments, provincial and municipal.

Public blackmail for dental care or else we get Poilievre, is hardly a win. It's blackmail by any measure.

Houston is actually an FCPA, Fellow Chartered Professional Accountant which is highest distinction awarded by the governing body.

A curse from the middle ages; may you have an honest accountant, or something like that. Accountants exist so economists have someone to laugh at.

In the sense of central control. Demonstrated by Singh's centralization of party funding and insistence of encroachments into Prov/Terr health responsibility.

No question. Carney returned the Liberals to the centre and the media narrative PC/RedTory is nonsense. The centre is the biggest swath as you say. NDP used to be the party of sober 2nd thought and national conscience under Broadbent. They are now basically communist.

Canadians should have had enough of a nepo baby leaders born on 3rd base, but, what's that I hear, Marc Mulroney!

NDP's Davies says Idlout's decision to join Liberals overrides 'sacred trust' of ballot box | CBC News Interim NDP Leader Don Davies said Prime Minister Mark Carney was working to overrule the wishes of voters in the pursuit of a majority in the House of Commons after one of his party's MPs defected to...

If 168 Liberals crossed the floor to the NDP I am positive that this nincompoop would change his mind on voter "sacred trust".

So true and the NDP has been terrible at picking battles they can win so it's all meaningless noise.

NDP leader lacks any understanding of Canada's Parliamentary system of government. Clarifies why the NDP are lost and screaming in the wilderness.

NDP MP crosses floor to join Liberals, putting Carney two seats shy of majority Nunavut NDP MP Lori Idlout has crossed the floor to join the Liberals, according to NDP interim leader Don Davies.

If a majority is achieved from the byelections, Poilievre's days will be numbered. With no prospect of defeating the gov for 3 yrs, loss of power in committees, the CPC will turn inward thirsty for blood.

Nice.

There is broad support for tariffs explaining lack of meaningful opposition by Democrats. Biden was very protectionist also. 80% of usamericans want everything made at home, reality be damned! BTW don't count on mid-terms to change anything, there won't be further votes of consequence.

This makes me happy!

Some blathering fools just refuse to retire.

The usamerican mindset is different, no question.

Peter Mansbridge threw his once-incomparable national reputation out the window years ago over some ill-conceived vendetta for Trudeau.

I would be honoured to be included.

I have no doubt. WWI/2 Russians sent detainees into battle, a rifle or 2 for every 10 men, shot them if they refused to advance or retreated. Supposedly happening in the Ukraine today.

Canada actually declared war on Japan a day before the USA following Pearl Harbour.

CBC creating and pushing a narrative. Total rubbish.

The PBO is unnecessary and a duplication of work already publicly available. The function was supposed to simply assist MPs with their principle responsibility of approving spending, not replace it. The PBO is not intended as a budget watchdog or to expose corruption or truth. The AG does that.

Yabba-Dabba-Fucking-Doo! So Mark Carney just rolled into Canberra, stood up in our bloody Parliament, and essentially said...

For those of us who understand that PM Carney is working on long-term goals, and especially for those who don't, I offer you this absolute GEM!!!

Read it and celebrate!!!

And now, I'm going for my walk!!

Love ya!

I think maybe we just need a near-total ban on "will you rule out?" questions for politicians.

The number of things anyone can honestly, but categorically, rule out is very limited.

Like do I think I'll ever go to the moon? No.

But can I rule it out?

A Canadian man stuck in an ICE detention centre is pushing for his release | CBC News Since November, Edmonton-born Curtis Wright has been stuck in an ICE detainment facility in Texas. Since then, his family has been pushing for his release while his case moves through the courts.

Anyone else have a feeling that the ICE detainees are going to end up on the front line in Iran?

"Is austerity falling out of favour?"

I would love for it to do so, because I was already living an austere life - before I was threatened with austerity budgets.

Functionally illiterate is more plausible.

He cannot pass himself off as an intellectual. He just can't. Shouldn't even try.

The only event that has destroyed former presidencies without exception is an increase in the price of gas.
