Sask has one single giant Liberal riding covering half the province, Alberta has 2 Liberal ridings, and BC has 20.
How do PM Carney, Smith, & Moe expect to drive yet another publicly-funded oil pipeline thru B.C. when Carney only won those 20 BC Lib seats last time by 0.7% of the vote?

10 years ago delegations of joint Lib & Con MPs & senators held Canada-Israel solidarity rallies in Jerusalem while Israel's Operation Protective Edge rained down on Gaza.

None of the 12 Major Projects greenlit by Carney's office so far are located in the province that just lowered the number of voters required to have an official petition to leave Canada to 177,732 voters.
Presumably future petitions to have Alberta and its resources join the USA won't help either.

Dear USA:
Instead of starting a whole new war to distract from the Epstein files, wouldn't it be easier just to release the files and leave it up to Fox News et al to explain to the public that diddling little kids has always been a time-honoured prerogative of the ruling classes.

Thank the gods Carney cut the luxury yacht tax, eh?
No longer will people buying a yacht worth over a quarter of a million dollars be burdened with a luxury tax.
Ditto your private jet or helicopter, luxury car worth >$100K.
At least they didn't call it the Canada Strong & Free & Proud Budget.

Well, luckily land masses don't vote, but unluckily neither do a lot of people.
Here's a map from last year showing the percentage of votes each winning provincial party received from eligible voters.

Dear Pierre
If you don't like your wife being criticized, maybe you shouldn't have her do your dirty work for you.
You know, stuff like reposting about the former PM meeting with pedos and hosting seminars in the offices of an all-in-one e-commerce platform that defends selling Nazi memorabilia.

Mark Carney on Mishal Husein's podcast on Bloomberg Oct 15.
She's a good interviewer - tough but not gotcha.
She asked him about his seeming reversal of his famed climate stances, like scrapping the climate tax, etc.

![Mark Carney on Mishal Husein's podcast on Bloomberg in London on Oct 15:
"The consumer carbon tax was at best going to be responsible for high single digit proportion of emissions reductions over the course of the next 25 years. So it was not nothing, it was something, but it was far from the most important measure that was in place. It was extremely politically divisive, and it would have contributed to [getting] a government in place that would have canceled all climate policies in effect."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:d2ylulcvdsofafblz6ytxdqv/bafkreiaik5y6uybtuxetxmypruqhrlttmyszszdflbkc437exwkf6z6xfm@jpeg)

Shouldn't the licence plates say "Strong and Free and Proud"?
Because I'm pretty sure the Manning Centre aka Canada Strong and Free Network funded the 3rd party Con advertisers called the Canada Prouds as well as the Canada Strongs and the Canada Frees.
