Martin, with precisely zero provocation, Trump said a year ago that he intended to “annex Canada” and make it the 51st state by applying “economic pressure;” - He imposed lifted, increased, decreased, re-imposed and repeatedly threatened tariffs on everything imported from
USMCA is toast this June. Carney just pissed off our largest trading partner ahead of negotiations. Let’s hope he gets his majority soon so he can back off.

I think Carney’s speech marks a turning point in how the world will treat Donald. The era of trying to flatter him is over. The world is exhausted by being held hostage to Trump’s volatile egomania. We’ll see more forceful pushback now. What an embarrassment for the US.

What a treat to talk with Kristen Thomson, who’s making her @coalminetheatre debut in FULFILLMENT CENTRE. Director @prairieocean immediately thought of her when he read the script. The two starred in PROBLEM CHILD nearly 30 years ago. https://t.co/lHxSklRjg9

That they were able to pull this off makes the case against electronic voting all on its own. It should not be possible for some MPs to vote after everyone else has voted, ie based on information not available to the others.
The funniest thing during the whole vote? It appears that Scheer and Reid waited outside the House during the vote just in case they had to abstain to ensure the vote passed. Then, when it was clear that it would, they raced back in and claimed technical difficulties to get

Canada spends over 12% of GDP on healthcare. That’s over $370 billion. What’s another 1% of GDP for a basic income that would reduce poverty by 50%? Or 2% of GDP would reduce poverty 100% and get people off the streets? We would see healthcare costs go down and save money.
