Absolutely delicious
The journalist in Poilievre’s viral "apple" video feels "a substantial degree of satisfaction that Pierre Poilievre lost."

"Canadians saw through his three-word grade-school rhyming, and his toxicity and bullying nature which points more to a tearing down, not a unifying of our country."

“Whatever adjectives American progressives might use to describe Democrats—feckless, weak, pathetic—the Canadian Liberals are the opposite. In fact, they may be the most successful left-of-center party on the planet,” Daniel Block writes:
The Liberals Who Can’t Stop Winning
Trump isn’t the only reason Canada’s center-left has stayed in power.

the funny thing about signalgate is that it wouldn't have been funny 6 months ago, it would be very serious and horrifying, but our bodies have stopped producing cortisol and signalgate is only funny thing to have happened in months

Really groundbreaking journalism from NYT. All the more disappointing because of how late to the game this is, and how it took an American news outlet to finally make the headlines. Let's see how much difference it makes with the project well underway at Ontario Place.
The NY Times has published an investigation into the Therme development at Ontario Place. It found that while the company told the province it had a proven track record of operating six spas around the world, at the time it had only ever operated one. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/w...
European Spa Company Therme Misrepresented Itself in an Effort to Expand Into Canada
A Times investigation shows Therme, a European firm, exaggerated its track record in securing a deal with Ontario, and government auditors found that the process had been unfair and opaque.

Auto parts cross the Canada-U.S. border six times on average before final assembly. In a trade crisis, that’s a vulnerability for our workers.

It’s time to build up that supply chain right here in Canada.

I wonder which right wing expat celebrity PP will trot out in response to this? Gretzky? Carney continues to own (and define) the moment.

Local LCBO shelves are now cleared of American products. As one of the largest purchasers of alcohol on the planet, losing LCBO business will hurt the US. Trump can stop this by reversing course on the tariffs! #topoli #onpoli #cdnpoli

Honda's picking a hell of a time to "Buy American". Also, maybe opting for the "import" car isn't the flex you think it is.
