#BenWoodfinden: "Parties have incentives to keep it open to a wide group of people but we need to just realize that this is bad for our country. If you can't vote in a general election, you shouldn't be able to vote in a leadership or nomination race. That's my view and I wish all political parties would acknowledge this." | nitter

I would support laws — federal and provincial — imposing such a rule upon political parties.
This is just an excellent video, back-to-back clips of PM #MarkCarney saying opposite things about co-operation with the US: https://youtube.com/shorts/nT3pckfmQeU?si=VeUIu4GbSODZBXWF
"Which is it, Prime Minister?"
#PaulWells "Have we reached Peak Carney? Probably not, but I wanted to be the first to ask"
"I'm trying to figure out what Mark Carney thought he was doing at this year’s Global Progress Action Summit."

Elizabeth May on the Cowichan decision. It's got nothing to do with settler-colonizer property rights.

Conservatism is fundamentally about *conserving* hierarchy. Look throughout history. What are people at the top of these hierarchies engaged in? Mass death and pedophilia. Therefore, conservatism is pro mass death and pedophilia.
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.
@jfmezei I don't think that's fair to Mr. Guilbeault. My interpretation of his actions is that he decided the Transmountain Pipeline Expansion was a necessary evil in order to bring in the #CarbonTax. He was ready to make that compromise, but left cabinet once #MarkCarney zeroed out the tax and made it clear that more pipelines were likely.
"[Conestoga College] increased foreign enrolment by almost 150 per cent from 2021 to 2023, nearly tripling its total revenue over a three-year period. You can see why the purse strings might have been a little loose."

Hard to believe Canada outsourced immigration policy to organisations that directly made money off it. And Sean Fraser is still a minister!
