The statistic they won't be able to hide will be life expectancy when compared to other developed countries. The richest country presently ranks 48th in the world and yet somehow continues to brag about its health care system. RFK's "leadership" will lower that already dismal standing.

Good for him. No doubt he was smiling when they played "All these things that I've done". A patient man, with a plan.

In response to the ruling in the Toronto bike lane case, in which the judge prevented Ford's attempt to remove bike lanes on major routes within the city, Ford used language very similar to that used by Stephen Miller when judges ruled against the Mango Moron. Ford expressed frustration that a ...

There was quite a reaction to PP attempting to politicize the Canadian judicial system with accusations of political influence in the crown attorney's decisions. Another attack on the judiciary by another prominent Conservative drew far less attention but is equally repugnant and misleading...

...prosecutor that dared to hold him accountable was a radical left wing lunatic. PP will tear down anything to get power. The headline should read "PP tries to foment mistrust in the judicial system with baseless accusations" Good on the crown attorneys for pushing back on this reprehensible attack

PP and his trained seals in the right wing media fully intend to sow distrust in the judicial system. By saying it's a political prosecution, they're saying that evil liberal politicians control the actions of the courts. It's the Mango Moron playbook. Any judge that ruled against him, or any...

...oversee it. Just spitballing here, but we're entering an age where many people are relying on their fb feed for "news" and it's heavily populated by bullshit. All countries with a national broadcaster should do the same. A world-wide web of reliable sources. What a concept.

I think our government should change the model for the CBC. Instead of forcing it to compete with the SPAM (Sun Post American Media) propaganda machine, turn it into a service that provides Canadians with an honest news source and fund it appropriately. Build in a robust fact checking element...

The money they are making is going to corporate profits for shareholders, not to the workers. And if the workers aren't getting the money there are none of the downstream effects that come from a well off middle class. This is the Conservative ideology in action, and it needs to be exposed.

I cannot understand why, during election campaigns, we don't see more messaging about this. You would think that a strong message around the theme "A vote for a Conservative is a vote for privatized health care" Or, if you want to start paying for your health care, dental care, prescription drugs...

She wants us to accept her idea of how to deal with an economic attack on our country and how it will impact Canadians over the guidance we'll get from PM Carney? What are her qualifications, again? She still thinks she's a radio commentator who can blather whatever she wants and some rubes will nod

I think the media need to stop calling them federal agents until they prove otherwise. Gangs of masked men attacking brown people is a far more accurate description with the information we have.

Like everything else the Mango Moron does, it's a scam. Follow the money. Someone shorted stocks prior to the announcement, and rich guys will buy low. He'll reverse the tariffs after the money is made, claiming that some group asked him to reconsider. He's manipulating the market to his benefit.

IMO we have the right guy in charge to affect this absolute paradigm shift. Different special interest groups will object along the way, and I sympathize with many of their causes, but I think when we get past the crisis portion and can pull into a service centre, we'll be better off as a country.

Hello, I somewhat share your concern, but look at it as a long-term plan to move our economy away from the US. And it may take some time, as we're trying to undo what we've been working towards for the last 50 years. But sadly, this is necessary and we can never go back. The US has shown that they..
