PM Mark #Carney and #PierrePoilievre holding hands (on Friday the 13th).

Both look exhausted and emotionally spent. Both have deeply personal, private reasons that influence the agony and trauma of this week. Carney has been obviously crying a lot this week. P.P. looked like he might 🤢.

Debunking the #Conservative myth:

Equalization is financed by the GofC general revenues largely through federal taxes.

Provincial govts. make NO contributions.

We are subject to the same federal income tax system regardless of where we live.

Stephanie Ruhle: This bridge will take toll money away from another bridge that connects Michigan and Canada, and that bridge is owned by a big Trump donor who, on Monday, had a meeting with Howard. Lutnick. Immediately following that meeting, poof, we no longer want this new bridge.

I’ve never heard anything like the vigil at Tumbler Ridge tonight: the mayor, Indigenous leaders, BC’s premier and lieutenant governor, the governor general and prime minister of Canada, even the leader of the opposition, speaking from the heart for all of us. No pretense or politics, just love.

The reason Kennedy is touching the granite and not the handle is that the handles on the Olympics stones have automated detection built into them. But not the rock. If he’d double touched the handle it would record him cheating, so in order to cheat he touches the rock.
