Thank you, Senators.
Thank you, Senators.
The Senate just introduced Bill S-206 to create a national framework for a guaranteed livable basic income. It won’t make it law yet, but even getting a framework on record is a crucial first step. Let’s push it forward.

From an unidentified Battle-River Crowfoot Indigenous constituent:
“What if #Indigenous voters flipped PP’s by-election? 5,000+ Indigenous ppl live here. Low turnout would help him win, but not if communities voted.”
What if an Indigenous candidate ran as an independent? #deadly

Um...there's a word for what's happening in the USA: FASCISM
say it. LOUD. OFTEN.

Ice needs to be abolished
AOC: We need to be talking about ICE agents and the cowardly policy of covering their faces — and, in many cases, their identification… The idea that we’re going to allow a paramilitary force to bloom, one that isn’t accountable to the Constitution… we’ve got another thing coming.

Heard Islanders going the appeasement route, again.
Didn't you learn the last time when the Orcas moved in?
"Plenty of room. We can live in harmony", they said.

Sen. Peter Squelch (Black Faced Shealthbill party) addressing congress today. He is attempting to champion a resolution to sell penguin eggs in return for tariff renegotiation. So far, he’s received cold shoulders and some Senators who’ve even flipped the bird, in a typically polite Ice House.

Cons think this one has been answered. NOT even close!! Now that we are in election mode, it is even more suspicious that he can't get security clearance, and his argument makes even less sense.

In June 2023, Canada signed a deal with U.S. defense giant Lockheed Martin for 88 F-35 jets. Minister of National Defence Bill Blair says Canada is exploring alternatives & will engage with rival aircraft manufacturers.

Perfect response! Well said
He’s your President, he’s your problem. The rest of the world doesn’t have to pretend he’s some clever negotiator; we see him for the vain and vengeful old man he is. The Emperor has no clothes, and we aren’t having it in Canada.

The meeting is in Quebec City. Be it resolved that absolutely every Canadian he encounters — from Melanie Joly to the waiters that serve him at the official banquet — should speak to him exclusively in French. Make him use a translator even if he’s just ordering room service.
