(I think #AlthiaRaj is right.)

Peak Carney? When the PM loses #RosemaryBarton, that’s a sign:

(#AlthiaRaj, who has been writing critical columns for months now, is more sanguine than Ms. Barton.)

"I think that is interesting revisionist history. I don' think it was a stopgap, because they spent a lot of political capital on a piece of legislation that was... terrible."

"I think it's a realization frankly that none of the projects want to be listed as a project of national importance under C5 because they're all worried that it is not going to land them where they want to be which is getting their project done faster because they're worried about court challenges"

I've finally read #AlthiaRaj's article from a week ago about #MarkCarney forgetting who elected him, by abandoning federal pharmacare and childcare programmes, https://archive.is/IZKc3

I don't know. The PM's popularity is so high, maybe his voters never cared much about those programmes?

Personally, I was opposed from the start. I do support taxpayer-funded pharmacare, and I'm neutral about childcare, but I think the provinces should provide them, without federal involvement.

#AlthiaRaj gives the positive side of the by-election results for the #CPC : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7IE-x4ANokQ&t=603s

#PierrePoilievre has time now, she says. No general election in 2025, no imminent risk of Conservative MPs losing their jobs, a new opportunity to speak to Canadians.

On the #CBC At-Issue Panel last night, #ChantalHébert and #AlthiaRaj are quite negative about the prospects for the #NDP. @acoyne dissents: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkR11l5Q1sU&t=877s

I have the moment cued up; worth a watch.
