Tell trump to get stuffed. Our new trade relationship with the US should be no relationship. We can trade with the rest of the world instead. None of them want to trade with his regime either so they're open to new deals.

Hypothetically, if I watched last night's SNL and liked that they mocked Trump and Hegseth will ICE abduct me from Canada, force me to go to the USA, and then deport me from there to El Salvador?

Just hypothetically, of course.

I guess from SK the concept of a coast is difficult to comprehend. I checked a map this morning and BC definitely does have a coast. Time to retire Moe.

Hey, let private industry build all the pipelines, or any other pipe dream, with their own money, so long as they follow all the laws, get consent of the First Nations and mitigate the harm the environment. It's their money to lose. I'm all for that.

No government should help them in any way.

There's a saying in Germany that goes something like this:

If there's ten people at a table and one of them is a known nazi then there are ten nazis at the table.

Now apologize for taking away the student's right to ask a question at your hate rally, and apologize to everyone else whose mic you cut off.

Apology not accepted. Resign. Smith needs to fire McAllister if he won't resign. If she won't fire him she needs to resign.

Next election we need to turn the ucp over our knee.

Metaphorically, of course.

A decent leader would have fired McAllister before he got to the end of the next sentence after saying a kid should be abused for asking a reasonable question, or for asking any question, or for any other reason.

Smith, this is on you. You have shown us who you and your supporters are, again.

At tonight’s β€œconsultation”…

When a high school kid tried to raise concerns about the teachers strike, Bruce McAllister cut the kids mic and then suggested his parents should have beaten him more.

Listen to the clip yourself…

It’s…

Telling.

Problem is that in addition to gerrymandering they will also cheat.

Conservatives have shown that if they can't get power democratically they will abandon democracy and take power anyway.

Hurt the pocketbooks of their donors. That's the only thing that will make them change course.

The 'coincidence' Richardson uses to not too subtlety suggest plagiarism is that two writers both assume that someone talked to a dog the way people always talk to dogs.

Richardson was clearly desperate to find fault where there was none. One can only guess what his motives are.

Shame on him.

In his first shooter videogame all he has to do is touch the clip to 'load' the ammo. How's he supposed to know?

Might be time for the feds to repeal their 1905 legislation creating Alberta and Saskatchewan from part of the NWT. Back to the drawing board.

Too right.

"Good dog, sit, stay" is how anybody, anywhere talks to a dog. No surprise at all that more than one author kenned that is the English equivalent of what the creeps who put Laika in that capsule said.

So much wrong with that awful smear job review. I am seething on Pennie 's behalf.

Mine's on the way. Royal Mail emailed today to say it's in the city and slated for delivery.

We're about to have a postal strike here so I hope it slips in before that! Knock wood.

Only six days (so far) to ship from Portobello Bookshop to here in Canada.

This feels like another example of Liberals campaigning as progressives and governing as conservatives. This is basically what Harper tried to do x100.

It's a shame.

Public money paid for the investigation, and it's not a national security matter so it isn't classified.

The courts will eventually order its release, even if the ucp wants it buried. All they gain is a bit more time.

Good girl, sit, stay is how everyone talks to dogs. Always has been. Of course 2 poets realize what the b*stard who put Laika in the capsule said, or the equivalent of it in English. No coincident there.

I suspect "Good girl, sit, stay" is how you would address any woman poet. Shame on you.

Odd as it as sounds to say it but I hope you're only feeling poorly and aren't bothered by that review today. WTF was that!? It was crap. Your work is amazing.

Anyway, as Wilde said "There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."

Well, guess Diane will be fired soon for talking to the press and contradicting Danielle the Great. Suppose she knew it would only be a matter of time before she was booted out anyway. Glad she chose to speak up instead of letting the ucp sneakily replace her with a TBA goon.
