When a court ruled that the Ford government couldn't pass unconstitutional voter suppression legislation, Ford used the NWC to pass it anyway.
And then we had an election with the smallest voter turnout ever, handing a second term to Ford.

Poilievre shouldn’t get to say a single thing about Carney’s fully costed platform until he has released his own fully costed platform.
If he ever does release one.
Maybe Pierre’s costed platform is like the security clearance everyone else has, but PP keeps making excuses about.
Never coming.

Seems like a good time to remind us about how bad a Prime Minister Stephen Harper was, and how bad he’s been since losing, putting all his energy into championing extreme right wing autocrats around the world, including Trump/MAGA.
Harper was campaigning with Poilievre yesterday. Two peas in a pod.

Every time Pierre Poilievre brings up Mark Carney’s history with Justin Trudeau as an attack (which will be pretty much constant), Canadians should remember Poilievre’s much longer/ongoing (and much more concerning) relationship with Stephen Harper. And through Harper, every right-wing autocrat.

So the predictable “90 day pause” on tariffs from Trump has led to a huge spike in the stock market. Whoever “bought the dip“ is making a staggering amount of money. The United States used to investigate market manipulation and insider trading. Who knows what, if anything will happen these days.
