Carney's got the same nod and look on his face that you'd have if you were sitting at the bar, listening to to local drunk ramble on about nothing coherent.

β€˜Something doesn’t smell right’: $100 million in Skills Development Fund grants traced to lobbyists with ties to Ontario premier Clients of lobbyists with ties to Ontario's premier and his office snagged at least $100 million in Skills Development Fund grants, according to an analysis of the data by CTV News.

Are we surprised?
"The lion’s share of those funds went to a lobbying firm run by the same man who managed the election campaign that brought Premier Doug Ford into office, the records show."
Paying the people who screwed us.

Trump dismisses Poilievre like the irrelevant loser he is
β€˜I’m not surprised to see [PM Carney] won the election, & won it substantially & I would think he is more popular now’
Ouch, I can hear it from here as Trump’s bus rolls over Skippy. Imagine modelling yourself after Trump, then this #NeverPP

Hitler was transformative for Germany, too.
Carney, the master of the backhanded compliment, and Trump is too ignorant to realize it.

But we also can't ignore that it's the biggest economy in the world, and for certain sectors of our economy, the U.S. is the most advantageous place to do business. That's why it's important to have a skilled negotiator who can walk a fine line to get the best possible outcome for Canada.

Plus, it doesn't hurt to walk into to Oval Office and say, "I love what you've done to the place!"

Trump loves to have his ego stroked. He's so transparent.

Ontario’s Auditor General says Ford’s Skills Development Fund process was β€œnot fair, transparent or accountable.”
800,000 Ontarians are looking for jobsβ€”and Ford has turned the Skills Development Fund into a personal slush fund. #cdnpoli

Do you not remember Reagan firing all of the air traffic controllers? There's a Republican precedent.

Yeah... if this guy is actually Mexican β€” never mind being part of a Mexican cartel β€” I'll eat my hat. Heck, I'll eat his hat, too.

The only thing Mexican about him is his last order from Chipotle.

700+ of the world's top people wanted to speak with him at the UN.
Where ever PM Carney and/or our Ministers go there is no shortage of people who want to talk and make agreements.
They are sought after and respected around the world.

Would you like to come on board with Canada? We'd make a wonderful country! Heck, we'd even give you half naming rights. Calanada or Canafornia... your choice!

For every €1 provided through a Basic Income For Artists pilot program in Ireland, the government got €1.46 back. So it’s being made permanent.

Over and over we see it. It saves public money to provide public housing. And it makes public money to provide basic income.

We can’t afford to NOT do it.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

The countries with the highest tax rates also have the highest standards of living.
That's not a coincidence.

It would be interesting to know how the wrecked police cruiser is involved in all on this. From the tire tracks on the pavement, it looks like the black car was pushed back upon impact.

Increasingly convinced that we need to be doing more policy design not around density but around _compactness_ β€” land uses clustered together in a contiguous way. Which in turn makes it structurally possible to get between more places without a car
