"Accountability: It is not only what we do, but also what we do not do, for which we are accountable." Molière
As an edge-dweller, I appreciated this perceptive take on events. Jen has captured the subtle moments, and not-so-subtle moments, with alacrity and I enjoyed the read.

Yet again, there were no wins for the feckless windbag from parts south.

Coyne is correct: It's not about multiple murderers, it's about an excuse to start eviscerating the Charter.
Opinion: In the U.S., defying the courts is a constitutional crisis. In Canada, it’s a simple matter of paperwork
Pierre Poilievre isn’t planning to use the notwithstanding clause to pass his crime bill. The point of his crime bill is to use the notwithstanding clause

My government will make Canada the world’s leading energy superpower, build homes at a pace not seen since WWII, and train thousands more skilled trades workers.

New from me. The way Danielle Smith behaves about tariffs raises an important and disturbing question: does she know we can all see and hear her? #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/opi...
Opinion: Does Danielle Smith know we can all see and hear her?
The Alberta Premier’s spectacle of naked self-interest has been broadcast for all to see. Does she think everyone’s too stupid to notice?

In the middle of an economic & sovereignty crisis, Canada will choose a new leader.

Will we choose one of the most experienced & respected economic experts in the world, who calls for economies to be shaped by values?

Or a career politician who repeats slogans and won’t get a security clearance?

He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.

“It’s clear that the United States is no longer a reliable partner. It’s possible that, with comprehensive negotiations, we’ll be able to restore some trust, but there will be no turning back. We’ll need to pivot our trade relationships elsewhere.” — Canadian PM Carney

Didn’t need to be this way.

Just like 🇷🇺 said that he supported Kamala and not the 🍊 guy

We are no fools.
So Donald Trump tells us he doesn't like Pierre Poilievre.
Lol.
The MAGA team know that a Trump endorsement is a political death wish. Poor Pierre. He's their boy and has no respect.
Don't get fooled. He is their favourite sock puppet.

PM Carney at his press conference astutely brought up the fact industrial carbon tax allows more trade opportunities as EU and Asian countries demand a price on carbon for less restrictive trade. Says he's "thinking ahead" unlike Poilievre. The carbon tax kill is now an albatross for CPC. #cdnpoli
