When I said "they" I was referencing the Vatican.

For a tree maybe (as in chopping down a tree). But for a human being in the 21st century it's opaque at best.

I mean if they have rules against fraud and bribery you would think having rules against sexual assault and abuse would be a no-brainer. Yet here we are ... still.

If he doesn't get a yes that'll tell you just how much his fellow Con politicians hate him.

Let's see if Apple obeys a court-mandated judgement or if they try the Trump way and just ignore it.

Elon losing his job is just fucking priceless. ❤❤❤

At a moment when the federal government is going to war with a powerful and determined enemy, Poilievre’s parliamentary tactics — denounce, delay, and paralyze — would be welcome fodder for U.S. President Donald Trump. He is a man experienced at sowing and reaping the rewards from a divided enemy.

One can imagine Poilievre holding up Parliament, again, on a key counter attack against Trump. The consequences for Canada’s ability to win this war we are now entering, could be disastrous. Trump is a master at divide and conquer.

This frustrating result has a clear message for his party: elect a new leader. You cannot sustain party unity with a defeated leader, hated by two elected Tory premiers. Tim Houston does not govern a large province, but his popularity is much wider than Nova Scotia. He sent a glowing message to Carney within hours of his election.

But the more serious division is that between Poilievre and Premier Doug Ford. Ontario’s premier has open contempt for his federal leader and worked to undermine him during this election. It didn’t work in Ontario, where the Conservatives did much better than forecast. This will only further enrage Ontario Tories. Back in the day, Premier Bill Davis conducted cordial back channel negotiations with Pierre Trudeau. However, he avoided directly attacking Joe Clark, even though the mutual dislike was undeniable.

Cool that you think it's ok to blame the victim dude. 🙄

The Reform Party of Canada changed its name to the Alliance Party in 2000, then merged with the Cons in 2003.

Attack dogs aren't known for their intelligence. /s

There are ongoing discussions with other MPs to see if one will give up their seat.

Yeah, you may want to hold off on preparations for that.

The Prime Minister's Office has not yet commented on Trump's timeline for this visit.

A readout from the Canadian side of the Carney-Trump call only said the two leaders "agreed to meet in person in the near future."

Lol. They fixed it.

Not really his style. But he won't bend the knee to Trump and I'm good with that.

Mulroney was Reagan's lapdog and did a lot of damage to Canada. He signed NAFTA that primarily benefited the US, advanced privatization of Crown corps, cut business taxes, brought in new restrictions to and cut EI benefits, introduced the GST, cut universal healthcare funding, failed to foresee that offering Quebec "distinct society" status - but not to First Nations, Inuit and Metis people - would cause the failure of the Meech Lake accord, and was implicated in the Airbus affair (by accepting bribes/payments).

He was never the face of the 'good old Conservative party' because it's doubtful they ever were "good".

I'd watch a Procrastinator movie ... like tomorrow or the day after.

Prove it!

I found a snapshot that's a month old ... https://archive.is/oyZjG

The WayBack machine gave me an error when I tried to use it for this article.

I stand corrected.

Everybody seems to have forgotten Maxime Bernier, leader of the People's Party of Canada, lost his riding as well.

That's three party leaders who managed to disaffect their constituents so much they lost their seat at the table of power.

I was wrong here. I thought Bernier had won his riding last election but he hadn't.
