If anybody knows of a radio station hiring a late night DJ to spin Jazz records this cold has left me with the perfect voice for the roll. Although sometimes I just sound like Lucille Ball after all the smoking.

No American guy on CBC Power&Politics it is not Canadian and Mexican negotiators job to make sure Trump gets a win in this review of CUSMA. It’s their job to protect their counties interests. Trump is not a negotiator. That is a lie he’s been selling for 50 years. He’s a chaos agent.

John Rustad was his own worst enemy. Full of himself and disrespectful to his caucus colleagues. Had the BCCP won the election by the same margin they lost, his behaviour would have collapsed his government months ago. The question now is, does the party have anyone competent to lead it. I think not
The BC Conservative Party just announced they have removed John Rustad as their party leader.
Comes hours after Rustad said he was staying on despite 20 MLAs calling for his removal, arguing there was no mechanism for the party to turf him as leader after winning his leadership review.

Christmas came early. A young friend is a potter and some time ago I floated the idea that she should make proper beer drinking vessels. She popped by the house with this beauty today. The first of its kind. She also made us the bread bowl behind it.

Thanks to Andrew Scheer for reminding Canadians that he’s a liar and not a very good one. U.S. tanker traffic does not travel through Hecate Strait or any Canadian waters. Because there is a tanker ban. They sail out in international waters from ports in Alaska south or east to their destination.

Boy NDP temp leader Don Davies gave an excellent example of talking out of both sides of one’s mouth when asked
About how his party voted on the budget.It’s also interesting to note Andrew Scheer waited until the budget had the votes before he voted no.Are we to believe he’d have abstained if it was
