Great to see you out helping Fatima in my old stomping grounds!

We're always better when we get to punch up!

I spoke to CBC about the war on Iran and the Prime Minister’s support for it. Canada needs to take a principled, lawful and consistent approach to foreign policy issues.

Power went out at 6am again this morning with an estimated fix of noon.

Alberta Won’t Budge on Charging Indigenous People for COVID Vaccines Though health advocates argue the province's $100 fee amounts to a treaty violation, the federal government rebuffed a request to step in, pointing out it's still free on reserves

We had our ice storm power outage. Started around 4:45pm and with an ETA for power to be restored by 10pm.
We're back on at 8:15pm. Bravo @hydroquebec.com !

Ugh, the flu!

Glad you're on the mend.

These are the times I like to bust out: #SithHappens

We've all been there in one way or another.

An important reminder about proofing, extra eyes, editors etc...

Even then not everything gets caught.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

With Liberals, don't believe it until it happens.

as much as there is to spend...

If you're gonna expropriate something in Ontario it needs to be the 407!

JFC, if something in Ontario should be expropriated It's the 407!!!

Not for me, but I'm wishing you all the delicious success with the new flavour!

Imagine how much money Alberta would have for social programs if we collected corporate taxes at 10% rather than 8%

BTW, the lowest personal tax rate is 10%
It's not asking much to expect corporations, who net billions, to pay the same

A retired friend of mine was posting regularly on FB mentioning the mayor and that several requests about a snowbank blocking their driveway to 311 had gone unanswered (as in work not completed).

I called the local city councillor on their behalf and it was resolved within 24hrs.

That there aren't enough consequences for pedos with influence?

He'll find a way to nussy his way out of it, like he did when his number came up for Vietnam!

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...

"How will you pay for it?"

The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...

"How much do you need?"

It doesn't have to be this way.

It's the last day of break week for the kids

How a White Nationalist Club Thought It Found Safe Haven in a Montreal Gym | The Tyee The owners say they were unaware Frontenac Active Club met at their facility.

Nobody wants to talk about the fact that he sucked as a mayor. Led over boondoggle projects (smartTrack was anything but). He impoverished the city by not raising property taxes at a steady rate (like Rob Ford and Mel Lastman did before him).

His nickname is Mr. Dithers for a reason...

It's almost like if we hadn't joined world market pricing we would have been encouraged to upgrade and refine in Canada... keeping jobs and profits local.

Montreal Antifasciste has been looking out for this community since long before I did my latest investigation.

Check out their work. They’re amazing!

Yup. Our oil and fertilizer doesn't go thru the straight of Hormuz

Is the minister gonna cover the cost when skyrocketing domestic gas prices hit Canadians pockets?
No, because shareholders profits matter more...
