Nate Erskine-Smith on Poilievre quoting his critique of federal budget: “I was laughing a little bit, because I would have thought the opposition leader was capable of articulating his own concerns and wouldn’t be quoting a Liberal MP who overall supports the budget.”

Telling reporters he sees nothing wrong with over 50% of Canadians seeing him as a massive douche-canoe, Poilievre said "I've made great inroads with a base that smells like warm Budweiser and misspelled tattoos, and you should always sieg - I mean dance - with the ones who brung ya." #cdnpoli

Thank you to my Ukrainian counterpart for joining the #G7 today. Ukraine’s fight against Russia’s illegal war is everyone’s fight, and Canada is ensuring that Russia’s actions do not go unpunished.

Finally found (what looks like) a good Canadian equivalent to Ziploc freezer bags! I was looking for Glad, which I gather are made in Canada but seems to be US-owned.

Anyway, Costco has Titan brand bags, which appear similar to Ziploc.

They are made in Canada, and the company is 🇨🇦.

For months, I’ve been following a Canadian ostrich farm ordered to cull its flock after a bird flu outbreak. It was a cause célèbre for MAHA activists, a MAGA billionaire, and, of course, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The trucker convoy with birds ended last night. They lost. www.msnbc.com/news/news-an...
Why the conspiratorial right rallied around a flock of ostriches
The anti-vaccine, anti-government crusade to save "the miracle cure birds" is over — and the fringe activists lost.

Budget 2025 is building strong communities, and investing to build more places like this that bring us together and strengthen the bonds we share as Canadians.

Do better CBC. You've got a crew at the ostrich farm covering the imminent cull due to avian flu, but no one covering the several poultry farms in the lower mainland where thousands of chickens are being culled to prevent the spread of this disease. Stop feeding the ostrich frenzy.
