CBC accuses the Prime Minister of "snubbing" a MAGA Conserative backbencher who says he will go to Washington to negotiate a trade deal.

Why would any government want to emulate the health care disaster south of the border? Corruption and greed.

CBC, do better. This isn't an immigration crackdown. It's state led terrorism.

The American owned Sun media chain are doing the propaganda work of quislings.

“New technologies will come along to save the environment.” What they said versus where we are:

“God damn them all.”

Errrrrrrr.... could we get some more detail on that?
We know it'll take some time to get things back into order, but we *do* have an elected president, Eduardo González so the sooner he's sworn in, the better.
