I’m never getting to 3K followers on this site, am I? I’ve stuck at 2.9K for weeks. I guess I just can’t cut it here. But I will keep trying.

Poilievre drew 5,000 people to his rally in Surrey and 3,500 to his rally in Winnipeg. Big numbers
Bigger numbers: in 2021, the winning candidate in Surrey Centre got 15,753 votes (a Liberal).
In Winnipeg ridings, it was between 14,000 and 22,000 votes (mix of Conservatives, NDP and Liberal).

People are changing the labels on Wayne G's wine: "a merlot that is sad and 2 faced" "as weak as the name-sakes moral fibre."
There is a reason why Canadians dominate comedy - we are wickedly funny.
And when push comes to shove we play for keeps
(ie. Kharmalov's ankle).
Sucks to be you Wayne.

Inviting O'Leary to speak on a serious radio show on this very serious issue is somewhere in between incompetent and treasonous.
There have been a few times when Checkup has been hammered on social media for a program we haven't done yet. I'm in a show meeting right now. The gap between what's being posted and what we're actually planning is enormous. Our regular listeners should expect the same care we use for every show.

Ian, you lack insight and it continues to impact your reputation and ability to live up to the responsibilities as a journalist and national figure in Canada. The thing you’re known for most at this point is the chronic inability to ever take feedback and corrections when the stakes are high.

The question is:
What should Canada be doing to prepare for economic and potentially real war with a fascist US?
OR
What response do you expect from Canadian politicians to the threat of annexation?

Lots of thoughtful social media criticism of our question for Sunday's Checkup and we listened. The new question: what do you think of Trump's comments about Canada becoming the 51st state? The show's being simulcast on more than 100 NPR stations. It's a chance to make your voice heard.

Due to some building lease negotiations that are well above my pay grade, the rent on my woodshop might be drastically increasing this summer. I may have to leave unless I find some more tenants? Anyone out there in #Vancouver looking for woodwork space? I love my space and don’t want to lose it!

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.
