I don't have particularly positive options about Pierre Poilievre and his gang of Maple MAGAs, but whoa boy, this exceeds my expectations of how f--ked up they are...

Time to adopt EU standards and welcome European manufacturers. Make them hybrids and add pantographs to them and have the provincial power companies string up OCS over the 401 and Trans-Canada. And export the trucks and knowhow for ehwys globally beyond the US.

I think a perfect example of this is here: the speed camera at Middlefield + Steeles on the edge of Toronto. In Aug 2013, a distracted + speeding truck driver smashed head-on into a stopped TTC bus, killing one, injuring dozens. @thestar.com Is this what the Ford gov't wants more of?

Class vs no class. Remember if Carney wanted to, he could have kept Poilievre out of Parliament until next year, but he didn't.

I keep seeing these deepfakes scam ads on YouTube. AI generated garbage posing as ads for fake products is one thing. Spread fake news about arresting the sitting PM is not normal. I've reported it, but I doubt Google will do anything about it or fix it.

There is talk about building a national electricity grid. I wonder if we could connect and export our electricity to Europe. Build a trans-Atlantic grid. It's a crazy idea but it would make us a true energy superpower. Could you ask one of your guest if that's possible?

Expel the US Ambassador and diplomats. Expel US service members here for NORAD or NATO or whatever. Declare Trump and people in his regime persons non-grata and bar from the G7 this summer. We should consider boycotting the FIFA World Cup with the US and the LA Olympics.

SMH. So glad it will be over by tomorrow. The sheer inability for this guy to adapt his tone and meet the moment is quite shocking.

Also Poilievre supporters showing how much they hate our country. Leave then, you f--king bastards! (Googled this guy. Unsurprisingly, a real estate agent -- literally the worst people.)

Mark Bourrie throwing a trantum over on X b/c Mark Carney won't read his book about Poilievre. Like dude, you wrote a book about his political opponent. Anyone with decency and respect for his opposition would do the same in his situation. Bourrie is being tactless here.

The Parliamentary Press Gallery (CBC, CTV, Global, G&M, CP, etc.) should sue the commission into doing the right thing. If Rebel can sue, so can the other news outlets. Lawsuits seem to be the only thing that sways them.
