Poilievre's leadership perfectly described.
D'Entremont describes Poilievre's leadership as a "frat party" that sounds like a cabal of mean girls focussed on unquestioned loyalty and scoring cheap points than moving from relentless negativity to solutions. #cdnpoli
d'ENTREMONT: "I think people saw that I wasn't being utilized within my party and they were reaching out... But I tell you what really made it, what sealed the deal is when I got yelled at when this became part of the news on Tuesday."

Conservative Leader too negative (I'll say!)
D'Entremont said there are other Conservative MPs who "are in the same boat" and they may join him in crossing over to Liberals.

A tremendous World Series decided by the slimmest of margins. Not at all sure the better team won, but that’s baseball. The Blue Jays were fierce, and I’m a bit heartbroken for all the Jays fans in my feed and orbit — Toronto folks have been supportive and awesome to me going back over a decade.

Pablo Rodriguez, Chef du Parti libéral du Québec/ Leader of the Quebec Liberal Party, is on Bluesky
Heureux d’annoncer que Martin Coiteux devient président de notre Commission politique nationale.
Ancien ministre, président du Conseil du Trésor et ex-économiste en chef à la CDPQ, il connaît bien les réalités économiques du Québec.
Le PLQ reste le seul parti de l’économie.

Doug Ford's proposed Bill 60 - he wanted to take away tenants' rights. Of course he did. That's what the Conservative government does.
The people pushed back. We're safe. For now. Thanks to Councillor Josh Matlow who organized petitions & did much of the heavy lifting.

The Leica camera (not interested in the watch) -- back in the day a professional photographer worth his salt always carried one. I knew one; he was one of the most talented photographers around, he slept with his Leica under his pillow. If you wanted to steal it, you'd have to get past him first...
Leica ZM 2 wathces is a traditional German minimalism in design. Exclusive to the ZM 2 is a 12-hour internal bezel for the seamless tracking of a second time zone via the single-hour hand.

Blue Jays advance to World Series
#TorontoBlueJays
On Saturday, as I was washing the dishes in my Toronto kitchen, this flashed through my mind: "3-1 Blue Jays, this is a random number". Forget the score, the message is Blue Jays win. I wrote it down and kept quiet. 😁
