Why not challenge each riding at the time? Have recounts then? If this is real -get to it. challenge it. I feel you’ll need to count by hand every time now. Both parties present at the count, everywhere every time.

Canadians deserve financial security in retirement. The CPP is critical, but it is at risk from Conservatives like Danielle Smith.
This morning I tabled Bill C-207 requiring approval of at least two-thirds of the provinces currently participating in the CPP before a province could withdraw.

And my mom did the same. Loved it!
Sometimes...
I boil a kettle of water. Put weiners in a thermos, pour the boiled water in and seal the thermos.
4 or so hours later I have freshly cooked hotdogs for lunch at work.
Just like momma used to make for me when I was a wee lad in school.

Wake up call in video. US oligarchs chose to take away jobs from the US and give jobs to China instead. China used that money to build in China. US oligarchs used their savings to buy yachts. USians chose to let that happen. Time for a revolution.
