Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

For many Canadians, this was the beginning of the end of a fair, reasonable conservative alternative in Canada and now, the Conservative Party is against women’s rights, vaccine science, scientific freedom (Harper muzzled scientists) etc.

On this day in 2003, the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada and the Canadian Alliance merged to form the Conservative Party of Canada. The party's first leader was Stephen Harper, who served as Prime Minister from 2006 to 2015.

National Post: “Liberals hold slim lead over Conservatives: survey”
The “slim lead” in the Postmedia-Leger poll is 7 points.
Yet on election day the Liberals won, over the Conservatives, by 2.45 points.
Headline writers like this do a disservice to both polling and to the reporter.

It sounds like they’re describing a toddler having a tantrum.
“Trump was lavished with the adulation he craves by FIFA President Gianni Infantino and feels others unfairly deny him. Knowing how much being overlooked by the Nobel Committee hurt Trump, there was FIFA's newly-created Peace Prize and a medal for him to wear” 🤔

I have no patience for anyone who is rude or condescending towards retail, restaurant or other service workers. Ever.
please be nice to service workers in the holiday season. a woman beside me waiting for coffee just said, out loud, in full earshot of the barista, "they're really slow, huh?" and all I wanted to do was tell the worker I'd be her alibi if she wanted to punch her

If you intended it to be used only in the case of ethical or illegal behaviour, then why didn’t you put that in the legislation?
Sloppy drafting is not a defence to the use of the law.
One could argue that the notwithstanding clause was also never meant for the purposes to which it’s being put.
