That’s the 10% right there.

I woke up this morning thinking about how I would have felt had the Liberals not pivoted and put Mark Carney in as the Prime Minister.
Imagine going through an entire election day with the prospect of Pierre Pollievre almost certainly becoming our next PM - and just how much that would suck!

This is No.1 for this line alone:
Nick Rivers: Hillary. That's an unusual name.

I'm sure Michigan, Pennsylvania and New York, who also have Lake Erie shoreline, would be perfectly cool with that.
Actually it should be called Lake Ontario II, as my province has the entire thing on our southernmost shore.

Canadian tourism injected about US$20-billion into the U.S. economy last year. Now any Canadian who spends longer than 30 days in the hellhole of a country will be required to apply for registration with the federal government… and be fingerprinted.

We never took down our flag, but during the convoy, those assholes sure made us think about it.
They stole that from us, which is unforgivable. What’s worse however is what it took for we Canadians to collectively take it back. An attack by our best friends.
