He sounds like he's ready to spend on capitol projects at the moment.

In his book he calls for government spending on capital projects in order to kick-start private investment in expanding their businesses (and payrolls, ultimately leading to more employees in better paid jobs and therefore at a higher taxable level)

it sounds like the Bloc really wants a rematch.

I doubt they'll try to topple the government until the threat of Trump is neutralized. Or at least significantly muted. They have a common goal with the rest of the country on that issue.

Plus, what's their warchest look like at the moment?

that's in to a lot of conservative ideas

Fiscal conservative ideas, maybe.

Socially he's relatively liberal. Maybe not quite as much as Trudeau, but nowhere near what the CPC has become.

The numbers allow a continuation of a Liberal-NDP confidence-and-supply arrangement.

Or a less formal agreement, if there is no appetite for a similar arrangement as last time.

Or, my preference, working to consensus with both BQ and NDP.

In the long term, of course, it means nothing because climate collapse effectively makes wealth moot

That is another repeated theme in Carney's book

I further hope the party gets some introspection and ditches a lot of their dumbass culture wars inspired policies.

Yeah, I know. I might as well wish for a pony while I'm at it...

I completely agree the liberals wanted all the seats for themselves

It's an election. What party doesn't want that??

I wouldn’t take anything for granite.

That's not a very gneiss thing to say.

Carney brought a net zero focus with him to Brookfield. They didn't impose it on him.

And, anyway, what's wrong with wanting to reduce the damage humanity is doing to the planet that we all live on?

I agree that fact checking needs to be the standard in media coverage of political statements.

But I don't think the AI tools that are currently available are ready to do it without significant human oversight. They are still prone to hallucinations and other unpredictable behavior now and then.

I'm gen-x, my kids are Z. We all voted ABC.

Any "maple MAGA" wannabe Americans are free to write in Trump's name...

Maybe he should have been licensed to handle a deadly weapon

Do we know that he had a valid licence?

looking like he's also in shock and he apologizes for what he did.

You might be surprised to learn that almost every criminal tries to appear apologetic after they get caught. Usually as an attempt to prevent facing the consequences of their actions.

Climate science got severely repressed under Harper.

All government scientists were muzzled by Harper's government (which was also the last time Polierve sat on the government side of the house)

Donald Trump doesn't care about anyone except Donald Trump.

How does USA score so high?

The period studied was June 1, 2023 – May 31, 2024.

Long before Trump was re-elected.

One of these days they'll mess with the wrong Gomez

Many Canadian institutions use cloud servers run by American companies

Such as the CPC, whose platform is hosted on a server in the US belonging to Amazon.

Millions of people didn't vote in previous elections, enough people to literally change almost every ridin

It doesn't even take millions. There are a lot of elections that have been won or lost by a tiny number of votes.
