Can you trust a guy like that to give you a good faith answer? Seems doubtful.

In any event, it looks like the PMO recognized the issue and backtracked on the invite.

Bah.. too late!

Maybe but it presumes that the other guy can be trusted or forced to reveal himself.

i'm not sure that's a valid presumption. It's not really a skillset inherent to an economist, even a very smart one.

It also cuts both ways. What could someone so conniving learn from a room full of Ministers .. 🤔

Project 2025 mastermind invited to speak at Carney's cabinet meeting | CBC News A prominent conservative figure in American politics and the mastermind behind Project 2025 — the infamous policy blueprint that proposed a drastic overhaul of the U.S. government — will speak to Prim...

How did we get here?

Inviting the “mastermind" of Project 2025 to speak to Cabinet is not “elbows up".

Either the PMO is interested in Project 2025, or Carney is foolish enough to trust the insights of an authoritarian architect.

Think banker, think 👉🏼😠👈🏼

Air Canada headline: The federal government stands up for Canadian industry!

(by siding with the those industries and shutting down Canadians looking to make a living).

If we only took the same hard line with the US and its tariffs.

These Canadian millionaires are asking for tax increases — but just for themselves | CBC News A group of wealthy Canadians calling themselves 'Patriotic Millionaires' is banding together to lobby governments to increase the amount of taxes they must pay — but opponents say it will be bad for e...

Whenever wealth taxes are raised, someone inevitably says that it stifles entrepreneurship.

Look friends, when we are fighting US encroachment, anyone who abandons Canada over a few percent of taxes is a fairweather Canadian.

Canadians help each other. Anything else is just American

Our Ontario Human Rights system is in trouble.

If a trial were delayed for nearly 4 years, there would be outrage. And yet today, I wrote to the Human Rights Tribunal with a similar delay.

Sadly, this is not unique, our admin systems are struggling, and Ontarians are paying the price.

Networking, football (soccer I guess 🤗), and some full discussions about electoral reform.

Great evening I'd say!

Happy May Day!

Respect to and solidarity with all workers, and to those living their magic school bus dreams.

Shout out to the Workers Arts and Heritage Centre and the #HamOnt District Labour Council for the great event today.

‘What right do they have?’: Ford lashes out at judiciary, saying perhaps judges should be elected Ontario Premier Doug Ford lashed out Wednesday against “terrible, bleeding-heart” judges who he claimed are blocking the government’s agenda, musing that perhaps judges in Ontario should be elected so...

Judges have every right &requirement to follow the Constitution and laws generated by politicians. Electing judges would result in political pandering just like what Ford is doing. #onpoli #Ford

Jamil Jivani posts a (fake) image of Doug Ford ripping a t-shirt that reads "Ontario PC" to reveal a t-shirt that reads "Liberal" underneath

Um, new tweet out from Conservative MP Jamil Jivani.

The Conservative civil war is in full swing.

Poilievre is making calls to shore up support as Conservatives take stock of election results | CBC News Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has been on the phone with caucus members and party supporters in the hours since the election, trying to shore up his position after he delivered uneven results, ...

This election wiped away many exceptional voices from the House of Commons.

It also purged the cancer of American politics by handing Poilievre a direct loss.

The real conservatives must now step up to take their party back. For the good of all Canadians, don't let that cancer grow back.

YouTube video by Kensington TV Stan Rogers sings "Barrett's Privateers" in One Warm Line documentary

You know you're Canadian when you've been kicked out of at least one bar for standing on the chair and leading the crowd in a great anthem about stealing yankee gold.
With deep apologies to that nice little club in Jasper.
Or was it Halifax?

Eid Mubarak!

While it's not always easy to decipher the exact date (i tried, honest), what is clear is that Eid fosters universal values such as compassion and empathy.

As a New Democrat, I commit to reflecting these values for all Canadians.

Warmest wishes to all Muslims celebrating!
