In 2022, Ken Sim said line item budget comparisons were the cornerstone of his budget policy if he got elected mayor.

In 2025, he voted against it happening for a budget presentation with potentially $100 million in cuts because his newly appointed city manager told him no.

a thing about Pack Journalism Dynamics is that in this press conference it's pretty clear trump wants to cool the temperature on the current dynamic and once that became clear the American journalists cared less about asking questions about Canada because that's less interesting

The staff of a program that helps millions of poor families keep the electricity on, in part so babies don’t die from extreme heat or cold, have all been fired.

The office overseeing the enforcement of child support payments nationally has been hollowed out.
The Trump Administration’s War on Children
The administration is quietly putting America’s children at risk by cutting funds and manpower for investigating child abuse, enforcing child support payments, providing child care and much more.

JUST IN: Karoline Leavitt now says there will be “no unilateral reduction in tariffs against China,” reversing course after Trump admitted the tariffs were too high and reports surfaced they would be lowered.

I regularly watch PnP on YouTube and you should too!

So glad to see these shows making themselves available in more places where people actually consume information.
Reminder:
Power and Politics is free to stream on YouTube starting today (link below)

And P&P and all of CBC NN is free on Gem or wherever you get your cable.

These options are a public service to Canadians for the balance of the election campaign.

This is leadership.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in his final days in office asks Canadians to ask WHY.

Why does the leader of Canada’s conservatives REFUSE to get security clearance?

Why does he REFUSE to put Canadians first? It isn’t a slogan when it’s not backed up. It’s a lie.

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government

There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.
