My take on this relationship: it makes Pierre Poilièvre look even more like a loser.

@ndp.ca maybe we should take a page from the Cons playbook: attract young male voters by allowing debate on all subjects. Show them that exclusion is not the answer and that they have a place in πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦. In πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦, diverse as it is, young men can have a strong and prosperous future.

Regarding Moe's stance on kids changing their names at school: I agree with it. It's a dangerous precedent to allow schools to keep information about a child from their parents. In Saskatchewan, when a parent disagrees with what the child wants the family goes to counselling.

I was surprised (but not surprised) that the Conservatives made this horrific assassination a 'thing'. I can understand the uncomfortable position it put the Liberals in at a time when they're trying to make a trade deal with the Trump administration. I wonder if Mexico did the same.

It will be interesting to see whether article 5 is invoked. I truly believe NATO will hold that back for absolutely as long as it can. Another thing: Putin and Trump are friends. Will Putin draw in NATO to give Trump a third term in office?

Regarding entering the war with Russia, there is the money question: European countries are constrained financially. I read somewhere that Russia could afford one more year of fighting. Has Putin's friendship with China changed that? The way I see it, most NATO countries can't afford it.
