This would be a great move on so many fronts . All Canadians need to email the PMO office in support of this . I was talking to a federal minister this summer and he said the amount of emails is a big factor in decision making .

This ostrich thing illustrates that the 'culture wars' aren't so much about 'culture' as they are people who believe in science and democracy, and people who don't.

This is exactly it. The Canadian business community got fat off of doing the Americans' bidding, and are now begging Carney to bend the knee in the hopes they can go back to the status quo rather than do the hard work the moment demands.

I feel like the business community in Canada is just not getting the message - there is no miracle deal with Trump and any arrangement we make will be immediately upended when he somehow takes offence at some trivial thing.

I got my vaccinations for COVID-19 and Influenza not too long ago (not at Shoppers). Just as easy as Mr. Trudeau says.
I did not get paid to say that. The anti-vax contingent doesn't seem to get it that you don't need to get paid to promote public health. #cdnpoli

They say baseball breaks your heart, and the Blue Jays are a Hall of Fame what if team, now. So what does it mean to watch your team lose the World Series in one of the greatest games ever played? It means you got to feel something; you just didn’t get to choose what. www.thestar.com/sports/blue-...
Bruce Arthur: These Blue Jays are a Hall of Fame ‘what if’ team. The World Series loss just makes the heartbreak worse
This World Series will echo across Canada for decades, because Toronto lost the MLB championship in one of the greatest baseball games ever played.

No matter what happens tonight in Game 7, the #BlueJays have had a tremendously (unexpected) successful season. Going into this series being huge underdogs - at least in the minds of most baseball folks - they've shown their grit.

We recognize it has fundamentally changed from the policy in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, & it's a situation where US has tariffs against every trading partner... what we we can control is developing new partnerships, including w/econ giants of Asia"
