  1. Liberal MP Anthony Housefather — who said Tuesday he was "reflecting" on his place in caucus after the NDP motion on Palestinian statehood — has not ruled out crossing the floor to join the Conservative Party.
    In an interview on CTV News Channel’s Power Play, which aired Wednesday, Housefather told host Vassy Kapelos, "I have to really see based on all of my convictions and based on where I think my constituents and convictions are, what the right place for me is."

  2. Wouldn’t the correct wording be “forced the Liberals “. That is how Jagmeet would present it. Pensions before people, gotta love the NDP.

  3. When I was at Walmart yesterday, I saw a young man, twenty something, sitting outside in front of the store in the sun with an assorted pile of belongings gathered around him. He was quite obviously unwashed, ungroomed, unhoused, unemployed, probably uneducated and untrained, and apparently unwilling or unable to get his act together and do anything about it. He didn't even have it in him to make the cardboard sign, as we often see, asking for "anything helps". Like a grotesque statue, he just sat there in silence.He didn't really look like a hard drug user or a chronic alcoholic, he just looked destitute and hopeless. He's down and out and cannot find a rope to grasp to help himself back up. It's so sad to see the youth of one of the richest countries in the world, a place that should be filled with hope and opportunity and the promise of a better future existing in the depressed and horrid situation that this young man, along with thousands of others like him, found himself in when he awoke yesterday morning.

    This is government policy in action.
    School taught him about gender identification, instead of simple arithmetic so he could learn to measure a piece of lumber and find a job in construction.
    School taught him "French Immersion", instead of grammar and spelling so he could learn how to complete a job application that a potential employer would consider.
    School taught him that his "rights" and "personal space" were more important than the idea of personal responsibility.
    School taught him that race, and colour, and whether you're a boy or a girl and where your grandfather was born is of the upmost importance, not that if you're cold,sick,unhoused and hungry that none of that stuff matters and isn't going to help you in any way.

    Unrestricted "wokeism" has produced a generation of kids, now young adults, who are not prepared to cope with and survive in the challenging society they now find themselves living in. The rich are doing great, the poor are getting poorer, and the future looks dismal to any young people hoping to one day prosper, perhaps have a family, own a home. Their dad's once good paying job no longer exists, resource based industry is a "dirty word", home ownership is a dream long forgotten as practical, just the basic necessities like food, shelter, clothing and medical care are beyond the budgets of most young people today. Unless you're lucky enough to have an inheritance headed your way or you somehow fluke onto a bitcoin like windfall, you don't have a fucking chance of ever being more than an indentured servant.

    Our governments seem to have have forgotten that their primary responsibility is supposed to be to see to the future of our citizens.Then to make things even more difficult for them now the governments burden them with "carbon tax". Everything costs more, everything is more difficult than it was back when you were twenty something, and it's only getting worse, getting harder, getting more difficult, and any dreams these young people might have or aspire to are made more and more unlikely and hopeless. Fifty years ago, when I was a young man starting out, all I had to do was work hard, live within my means, and show some personal responsibility and the future was "so bright you gotta wear shades". Not today.

    But that young guy in front of Walmart,with no job, no income, no home, no hope... he does provide at least one thing. He proves that Mr. Trudeau is correct; He gets more back from the carbon tax than he pays.

    A vote for Gord Johns, a vote for Josie Osborne....is a vote for Trudeau.

  4. The next federal and provincial elections must be about policy, not about people.

    Woke,corrupt,leftist policy run amok is destroying our country and the futures of our people.

    We gotta get those guys out of there. Somehow.
