They have good reason for that.

He’s George Costanza!

A large majority of Canadians have a negative impression of Pierre Poilievre.

PP won’t deal with Trump. He’ll hand us over on a silver platter so he can be Governor of the 6th permanently inhabited US Territory.

John Stewart for his running mate?

Much of it is owned by the same people who own US media. The CBC, similar to your PBS, is constantly called biased.

But the Right is only interested in “Canadian Values” right?

Even just making them grey would help improve the readability of the article.

Lots of legitimate reasons for USAF members not to comply.

I always shopped at Coop when I lived in Cgy and really didn’t find their prices all that high (maybe a couple of pennies). Double checking want ads, Dominion (Loblaws) actually pays higher than all other supermarkets in NL where I live now.

If we were a socialist country like the Cons keep saying, this wouldn’t be happening because we would collectively own the grocery stores. What’s worse, they have sold off ownership stakes in AirCanada, PetroCan, CNR, etc & given to their buddies.

Unfortunately, where I live, the Loblaws store is usually the cheapest alternative unless I want to go to Costco and buy a lot more than I have room for. The collusion between Dominion, Sobeys, Coleman’s, Walmart and Costco is disgusting.

Ok, I got a step ahead of myself and thought the delegate vote at a CPC National Convention was the leadership review.

I come from the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. I know all about particular varieties of language. There are still communities here that I cannot pick out two words.

The fellow who explained it to me was from Louisiana.

No, they are. The only reason he’s still party leader is because the CPC haven’t held their mandatory leadership review yet.

I was told y’all means you and all y’all all of you. I guess it depends on which state the explanation comes from.

He is the party leader, CPC members voted for him to hold that position. However, he is not Leader of the Opposition because he is not an MP. I hope that clears things up.

They are the same people who thought dRump had their best interests at heart. You guys really need to upgrade your education systems.

You probably won’t. After 4 years of Trump (assuming he doesn’t extend his presidency) the rest of the world will likely have negotiated different trade agreements.

I’m hoping the residents stay home because they don’t like that the Conservatives asked their local, duly elected MP to resign so they can parachute PP in.

Seasonal trends in water retention of Atlantic sea cucumbers (Cucumaria frondosa): a modelling approach.

Do sea cucumbers hold significant amounts of water after harvest? Our latest research into C. frondosa is up on @mdpiopenaccess.bsky.social.

I dunno, if I just helped elect someone with ties to the community and they want them to step aside, I’m voting for someone else.

Let’s hope the riding they try to parachute him into also hates him.

I think this explains why I wasn’t good in English class back in school.

Maybe if he had spent some of those three years helping out his constituents, developing an actual plan (not something I would have been ashamed of submitting in grade 7), and actually doing his job properly, he’d still have his seat.

Yup, but progressives need to get out on Monday to vote, and vote strategically; anything you can do based on the polls in your riding to keep the Blue out. The polls are too close not to.
