It was the eve of Christmas Eve and it was mostly quiet in the busy emergency ward. Then a woman’s voice rang out.
β€œC’est 5-2 pour les Canadiens.”
β€œVraiment??” said the man in the next cubicle.
Silence.
β€œC’est 6-2.”
Gotta love Montreal.
Merry Christmas

Sunday, it snowed. Monday, we elected a new Parliament. Today, dandelions, tulips, daffodils, magnolia blossoms, kids playing soccer on new green grass.
Change is incremental and then it’s undeniable.

Secret Deals, Foreign Investments, Presidential Policy Changes: The Rise of Trump’s Crypto Firm (Gift Article) World Liberty Financial has eviscerated the boundary between private enterprise and government policy in ways without precedent in modern American history.

President Trump at once appoints the nation's top financial regulators & profits from one of the world's fastest growing crytpo companies. It's one of the most explicit financial conflicts of interest in presidential history. A NYT investigation published today digs into this nyti.ms/44KUVn8

If/when Poilievre loses his seat he might want to think back to his embrace of the Freedom convoy. The people of Ottawa didn’t forget.

Liberals could work with NDP and Elizabeth May to get stuff done.

You know things are bad when Polievre drags Harper into the finish-line campaign. Because he was sooo popular.
