So far, Mark Carney has gotten two standing ovations and lost one cabinet minister as a result of his "grand bargain" with Alberta. The best, or worst, is almost certainly yet to come, @maxfawcett.bsky.social writes
The method to Mark Carney’s madness
The memorandum of understanding with Alberta might look like surrender. Look closer

Canada was happy with the projected purchase of the F35s until Trump threatened to annex us and launched a trade war against us. Now there are serious questions whether the US can be trusted. Globally, F35s are being reconsidered for good reason.

Canada Needs to Look in the Mirror on F-35 Fighter
An expert slams Canada's "procrastination" on replacing its "obsolete" CF-18, warning its "hollowed out" military is "paying the price" for the 7-month F-35 delay.

Today I said goodbye to Rascal, one of the kindest cats I've had. Here he is with his half sibling Precious. He had a good life but I will miss him.

Beth Burke is certainly only representing the American side of the CanAm Bus Council. Basically, according to her, Canada needs to give up all bargaining points ahead of negotiations and just hope the Americans are in a good mood. Forget about all the unfair sector tariffs & give up the boycotts.

This article is so self centered towards US that I knew immediately that it was written by an American. The idea that we would want a fighter jet that is not completely interoperable with (ie controlled by) the Americans is completely untenable to him.

Forget Going to Fly for Canada: F-35 Has a Message for the JAS 39 Gripen
The JAS 39 Gripen may look cheaper, but delays, NORAD gaps, lost industry work and 6th-gen misalignment make sticking with the F-35 Canada’s safest, smartest choice.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.

The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

Just remember that the PC brand of cheese is made with American milk from farms that would not pass a Canadian inspection.

Do not touch American dairy products they do not enforce any cleanliness or heard health standards.

85% of farmers (according to trump) voted for Trump in the 2024 election. Since trump took over in January, 173 farms went bankrupt. Suicide among farmers have exploded to the point that there’s a glut of farm equipment on the auction market. #cdnpoli

On P&P today, #KarinaRoman pushed back hard against Patty Hajdu but left statements by others unchallenged. It seems that as a past union rep of CBC, she took the back-to-work order personally but wasn't willing to extend that criticism to all interviewees. I found this annoying.

@pattyhajdu.bsky.social I am watching your interview on CBC P&P. I find your comment on unpaid work not being reported naive. I worked for a consulting company where project managers would run out of hours on a project and refuse to allow people to charge to projects. Some people quit over it.

Started watching "The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair". It lost me when the storyline wanted me to have sympathy for a man meeting an underage girl at a hotel. Maybe the plot goes in a different direction than I expect, but I can't invest time in a series that makes sympathetic a pedophile.

Has anyone else noticed that there is a lot of rage farming against Carney that is very economical with the facts? Is this from disaffected progressives who are unhappy that the government has moved to the right, or is it a foreign interference campaign designed to reduce Carney's popularity?
