@nenshi is spot on. It's time to drop the gloves on this corrupt UCP government!
There must be a full RCMP investigation, an Auditor-General investigation, and a public inquiry into these extremely troubling allegations.

Democrats have become the party of war. Americans are tired of it
In defending the militarist status quo, Democrats ceded the anti-war lane to Republicans. As they enter the political wilderness, it’s time to reckon with what they got so wrong

So Justin Trudeau has finally entered his "Charlie Angus phase" in standing up to the predator from Mar-a-Lago.
The fact is, Justin wears a suit way better than me.
But I opened for the Dead Kennedy's and the Violent Femmes.
If he wants lessons in fighting Trump, I'll take him under my wing.

...In fact, it's probably a detriment. Working people instinctively know that central banks operate in the interests of big corporations and their owners, not them. So, in the last hours of Trudeau's political life, what exactly is he trying to achieve?

I cannot understand why Trudeau has been so desperate to recruit Mark Carney. Perhaps he's a good central banker, but that means nothing to the millions of working people that are struggling to make ends meet, and have abandoned the Liberals...

You’d think America would be alarmed that Al Qaeda was about to seize Syria. I mean, that should be dangerous for Israel, shouldn't it?
So, I wonder why America and Israel aren't scared of having Al Qaeda on Israel's border? 🤔
