“It’s like OC Transpo reorganized routes so you HAVE to take the train. Riders don’t appear to have a choice.” I think this poor commuter @brucedeachman.bsky.social interviewed hit the nail on the head #octranspo ottawacitizen.com/news/local-n...

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

The Charter of Rights and Freedoms is the embodiment of our principles and our aspirations as Canadians.

It must be protected — not wielded for political gain.

Forty-three years on, the Charter remains strong — and it’s on all of us to defend it.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.

Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

What this means: he’s been campaigning on this issue for two years, and still hasn’t decided on the most basic architecture of his tariff plan heading into the day of the announcement.
Doocy says Trump can still change his mind but he's settled on announcing tomorrow either a flat 20 percent tariff or adjustable tariffs based on each country's trade policies
