I think they need the facets of their iron ring cut a little sharper.

Come to the door with the Jack-o-lanterns, you donuts.

Never thought I'd say that NB was leading the country in something good, but here we are.

Man, a good chunk of Conservatives are really put of touch with reality.

I've been banned from my local Facebook group for telling off anti-vax posters.

Do you still have active export permits for military equipment to the nation that continues to use it to create the need for this aid?

Dear Mr. Wakeham: Climate changes aren’t coming — they’re here  – The Independent Not only are wildfires caused by climate change, new research links the heatwaves that cause them to oil companies active in Newfoundland and Labrador

Is Canada Getting A Surprise Election For Christmas This Year? I don't think so. But we might end up with one by accident. That would be a mistake.

Are we getting a surprise election for Christmas? I don’t think so. But I can also see us ending up with one by accident.

That $2 million has got to come from somewhere. It's probably not coming from the paltry tax revenue of the rural areas which are policed by the RCMP.

Haligonians don't want nine more officers (public feedback was against), they don't need more officers (calls diverting to civilian team), and evidence shows more officers aren't going to reduce crime.

So naturally, Halifax is going to pay for more officers. #Halisky

White Nationalism in Canada: Organized, Emboldened, and Growing Canada’s white nationalist movement has consolidated into a network that includes three key branches: Diagolon, the propaganda arm; the Dominion Society of Canada, an incorporated political arm; and S...

I have an idea! What if there was some sort of financial disincentive to polluting?

Yes, EVs are still the future Why we need to ignore the naysayers and actually look at the data

Fact check: EVs are still the future, no matter what the Trump administration tries to do to forestall it.

The question for Canada now is whether we want to participate in that future or get stuck in the past.

Rural HRM residents are already spending more than a third of their taxes on the RCMP:

'No consistent association' between police funding and crime rates in Canada, study indicates | CBC News There's "no consistent association" between police funding and crime rates across the country, according to a published study by University of Toronto researchers.

Ottawa has increased police spending 42% in the last decade, which had the effect of.... increasing crime 63%.

It's almost like police have little to do with crime rates:

Most speakers at Halifax police board meeting against budget increases for cops - Halifax Examiner Board also presented updates on defund police report, community safety projects.

We're diverting police work to the Civilian Crisis Response Team, but still looking to spend on more officers?!?

When given the opportunity to weigh in, most Haligonians don't want to spend more on policing:

Rural HRM residents are blissfully unaware more than a third of their tax bill goes to the RCMP.

Everything ok, @globalnews.ca ?

Ottawa police reporting 63 per cent increase in crime in last 10 years The Ottawa Police Service is reporting an overall increase in the volume of crime in Ottawa between 2015 and 2024 as it works toward its 2026 draft budget.

It would be nice to see a chart with a line showing the increase in crime next to a line showing the increase in the Ottawa Police budget over the last 10 years

We tried one thing, it was working, but then we stopped because we let the oil industry and their right wing allies convince people it was bad.

That probably won't even pay to administer the enforcement program?

I guess we got to have "Eliminate the carbon tax".

The carbon tax was good policy that the government couldn't be bothered to sell to Canadians - half of Canadians receiving rebates had no idea they were getting them.
