@anon_opin In Canada: Stephen *fucking* Harper.
The only upside is his bullshit agenda is so antithetical to most Canadians that all his party has been able to do is recruit utter losers to the party leadership.
If he wasn't still doing real damage, it would be comical.
Carney's new face for Quebec has a long history of being unpredictable

Unpredictability is a desirable quality for an MP in Canada's leader-dominated Parliament. #JoëlLightbound will have to keep it within cabinet to succeed as a minister.
Good luck to him with his new job.
Judges sue government over decision to refuse $28,000 raise

(Here's what you're wondering: Current salary is apparently about $414,900 — though surely it varies among judges. I think news about salary negotiations should always include information about current levels.)
Who is a neutral party who could rule upon this lawsuit?
How it started: The BC Liberals have changed their name to the BC Conservatives to better fit where they really stand. With John Rustad at the helm, the party feels that electoral victory is practically around the corner.
How it's going: "John Rustad removed as leader of B.C. Conservative Party, but he says he's not leaving"

So, they can't even handle being in the opposition without a major political scandal. They never really changed.
@thetyee Note that, contrary to what is written at the start, Andrew Scheer and Erin O'Toole were forced out of the leadership by the #CPC caucus, rather than resigning because they lost elections.
Putting aside factual errors, is someone as hostile to the Conservatives as Michael Harris really the right person to try to shed light on the workings of the party?
I oppose proportional representation. Transforming voting pluralities into parliamentary majorities is one of the advantages of the first-past-the-post electoral system.
If you stand in any position of power at a company/can get union power behind you, or run your own business - especially if they say they stand for human rights:
Stop using Uline.
In short, they are one of the single largest sources of dark money fueling the American fascist wildfire today - and I might add that Canadian businesses are not exempt from this post, either. You should stop using them, too. Who knows what kind of bullshit they're trying to pull up here...
"In his TV appearance Sunday, Guilbeault said it’s impossible “now” to imagine Canada reaching its 2030 emissions targets. [...] Last Wednesday, [...] the Parliamentary Budget Office published a report that said Canada is on track to emit 55 to 65 megatonnes more carbon than the government’s most lenient 2030 target — and that most of that gap, 45 megatonnes, was in place before Carney started changing government policies."
#AnthonyKoch on #PierreTrudeau :
"The Canada Trudeau inherited was a British dominion in constitutional form and temperament, Anglo in its civic habits and historically conscious of its lineage. The Canada he left behind was a centralized, rights oriented, technocratic state bound more by judicial doctrine than by tradition, more by universalist abstraction than by concrete inheritance, and more by administrative management than by civic duty."
