Disclosure was only late because of requests made by the *defence* have the evidence filtered before it was handed over.

Which is something a real journalist would have immediately pointed out, if they employed any.

The keep pointing to poll numbers to say that Pierre has this huge advantage but they seem utterly incapable of finding a single former Liberal voter to go on record as saying they’re now voting for Pierre.

Because those people simply don’t exist as a demographic.

Cut the shit righties: Jordan Peterson isn’t being sanctioned for what he said, he’s being sanctioned for being unable to say it like a professional, as is required by the long-standing rules of regulated profession he voluntarily chose to take up.

It’s no one’s fault but his own if he didn’t inform himself. Just like it’s no one’s fault but his own he’s facing sanctions.

Brian Lilley has very literally no economics training, just like he has none in public policy or labour relations, or experience in any related field. Or any field really.

He’s a community college barely-grad who cofounded Rebel Media and now sleeps with a government spokesperson for a living.

You mean the inflation rate that is still, as it’s been the entire time, one of the lowest in the developed world?

This probably merits being charged with inciting hatred.

A new low for the National Post, and that’s saying a lot.

Dumb bribe policies like this are exactly why our schools and hospitals are collapsing and we have no new public housing.

No. We absolutely should not exempt people who exploit the labour of others for profit from taxes, ever.

Have I mentioned lately how the National Post can fuck right off?

Quick simple math lesson for righties:

If average global inflation is higher than our national inflation then the bank is generating a net negative level of inflation.

The primary source of our inflation is the global economy, not bank policy.

It’s amazing how far the will go to pretend like they didn’t issue papers calling for the explicit overthrow and arrest of the sitting, democratically elected government and its replacement with one of their choosing. That happened. Verifiably.

Which makes it, in fact, treason. And when you hold a city hostage to achieve those goals: terrorism. And if you use terrorism to deprive others of rights you are fascist.

This isn’t hard.

Shitty NP take of the day: Poor people, like the indigenous, shouldn’t be allowed to be Governors-General. 🤦‍♂️

Sure, this is a letter. But they still ran it.

I find it very strange that uses the word “land swap” uncritically to describe a corrupted politician swapping undeveloped land that does not have major environmental impacts for housing builds with critically important lands with ecologically sensitive wetlands and biospheres in the ?

There is a zero percent chance of the federal government successfully forcing and to pay $234m to Canadian news outlets.

It’s simply not going to happen lmao

It’s not a pronoun.

And, frankly, if you’re going to pretend to be a newspaper you should at least be literate.

In this very clip MLK himself actually compares legal equality without social and economic equity to asking a shoeless man to lift themselves up by their bootstraps.

Entirely undercuts the whole “MLK would have opposed equity” nonsense right wing media has been pushing lately, on both sides of the border.

But really it’s just the free market at work, in a jurisdiction where she controls a majority government…

It should surprise literally no one reading that headline that Pierre is currently living in a taxpayer-owned home that was recently renovated at great expense to us, the taxpayers, and not in one of the multiple homes his family owns in the Ottawa-area.

What I really hope does a deep dive into is the investors in the developers. If Ford is going to try to sell his McMansions as “affordable housing,” perhaps ask the question if foreign investors in these developers (sneak preview: China, Italy, etc. ) have made the same comittment. Of course it is like him saying he cares about renters while destroying the LTB and removing rent controls.

🤦‍♂️ the jurisdiction, I’d assume. Which belongs exclusively to the provinces.

Fuck… people… this really isn’t hard.
