Free trade talks with China start next month.

Madness.

Any hot takes on the Trudeau Rolling Stone cover/"Why can't he be our President" lolness?

horribly cringeworthy. My favourite part is when they called the RCMP the "Royal Canadian Mountain Police"

Oh FFS

The Situation back in the Jersey Shore days bragged that he 'brought home a girl from Canadia'.

Mike and Justin probably have comparable IQs.

I was able to find some pretty rare footage of different Canadian election nights. I watched 93,97,2000, 2004 on C-SPAN. I was trying to find 1993 coverage for years on YouTube with no luck.

2000 https://www.c-span.org/video/?160814-1/canadian-election-returns

1997 https://www.c-span.org/video/?c3342938/1997-canadian-election

1993 https://www.c-span.org/video/?51860-1/canadian-election-special

It's probably pretty embarrassing to admit, but I have some election returns (CBC, CTV) on video tape.

You should really consider uploading it somewhere.

Ten years ago, the idea of a gender-neutral anthem would have also been thought of as a dumb joke but yet here we are.

A year ago, I was lamenting that the Boy-Emperor would be with us until the 2030s and now it seems that the only thing that might save his hide is... Doug Ford.

Funny world we live in.

Vive Max.

The issue that might lead such a party to take off is immigration. On economic issues, there's little appetite for a party to the right of Scheer's Conservatives. Most normal people don't care about supply management. But a large slice of the population is more hostile to immigration and multiculturalism than the leadership of all the political parties. Bernier is speaking for a lot of people who have felt unrepresented on these issues.

Most Canadians don't care about supply management because they don't understand what it is. The new Bernier party should (and presumably will) campaign on halving Canadians' grocery bills on staple goods and that will strike a chord.

Bernier’s party up to 17% in new Nanos poll. Almost at Reform ‘93 numbers.
