The reform wing of the CPC must be furious that they had their chance to defeat the budget and bring down the government but we're orderd to vote with the Liberals to defeat the BQ amendment.

Why didn't PP take his shot to bring down the government? The Conservatives voted with the Liberals to bring down the BQ amendment to the budget, but if the CPC had voted with the BQ the government would have fallen.

Do you think PP could survive his leadership review if 3 or 4 of his MPs cross the floor?
mikemontreal.bsky.social Montreal Mike🇨🇦 @mikemontreal.bsky.social · 6d
Never question my sources.
I can now tell you this is one of 3-4 MPs I heard are considering crossing the floor or propping up the budget in spite of Poilievre because he’s not popular.
There are 3 more … stay tuned.

With US carmakers pulling back to the US and Trump once again saying he’s cutting off negotiations with Canada, it seems pretty clear what Mark Carney should be doing: taking a meeting with BYD and other Chinese automakers to see if they want to build in Canada in exchange for lower tariffs.

So NL MP Cliff Smalls calls the federal school lunch program "garbage" and claims that "it hasn't fed one child in Canada" dispite clearly there are schools in his district that benefit from the program. No Local NL News Stations has covered this story.

So Trump terminates trade talks because of an ad that Doug Ford ran featuring a "real" Reagen speech, so of course, PP takes the opportunity to blame Carney.

Isn't about time Canada started using metric building standards?

Perhaps if we started using mertic dimensional lumber our export market would be open to the world and not dominated by the USA.

I'm with Wab Kinew. It's time to rescind Canada's 100% tariff on Chinese-made EVs. Prairie farmers are hurting badly, and Canadian families need access to affordable EVs. #cdnpoli @mark-carney.bsky.social @heathermcpherson.bsky.social
