I wonder how much of New England would rather be Canadian right now. Maybe we should have another Confederation conference and invite some Governors.

Wonderful idea! We should do this in Canada too!

I’m a huge fan of minimum standards as long as the focus is on the standards part.

So Trudeau is shuffling his cabinet. Isn’t that just rearranging the deck chairs?

If only Trudeau had responded to Trump with, β€œFunny you should mention that. I was just thinking that California would make a great province!”

If I found a religion worshipping critical thinking, would I still have to pay taxes?

I’d like this on a shirt but there’s no safe-tee on the street.

Good question. Also, have any of these people ever worked cash? Reprogramming is easy for big box stores but not for small business. This measure could cost NB millions of dollars which will hurt OUR efforts to help the poor. πŸ™„

If, like me, you’re interested in Proportional Representation a good account to follow - @propvoting.bsky.social

See ⏬️ this week’s Passenger Railway Services Bill

Passed, but if each MP was replaced with the number of votes they received at GE, then it would have failed by almost a million

Hmmm

For my American friends, blue is right wing up here.

I have shared the same bathroom with Sarah McBride on several occasions, and she never once made me uncomfortable. She did however help me fix my makeup. That congresswoman knows how to blend her foundation, which is more than I can say about Donald Trump.

There’s a narrative that Gaetz was a deliberate head-fake β€” a distraction to boost the real candidate β€” but I am always suspicious of narratives that attribute four-dimensional chess to trump as opposed to knocking over the table and eating the checkers.

I’m well aware of the margins. There’s no colour here but blue. 😒

I live in a safe Conservative riding. I’ll give the money, talk the talk, and whatever else I can come up with but it’s not going to matter. FPTP makes what I do irrelevant.

We support β€œThe Friends of CBC”. So far, that hasn’t discouraged cuts. Do we need a more aggressive organization?

Can you suggest how we can stop the Federal Government from diminishing it? So far, efforts in that regard have been futile regardless of which party is in power.

When the Liberals lose the next election, the CBC will be reduced to a minimalist service with no reporters. We need a National Public broadcasting nonprofit. Should we adopt the PBS/NPR model?

Carol Off @caroloff.bsky.social got a well-deserved standing ovation tonight for espousing the defence of liberal democracy. I’m shocked at the degree to which it’s at risk.
