very year. After 40+ years of it either do it or shut up about it.

Use a sextant to 'call noon' every day? Lovely.

"Poilievre said he prefers that I stay as Prime Minister." Imagine if Justin Trudeau says that line and then refers to the broadcast.

Without saying the Conservatives have MPs under foreign influence, he's able to use Poilievre's unwillingness to get a security clearance with a line that DEFINATELY indicates that the Conservatives have MPs under foreign influence.

It might be okay. Let people read the rules passed down, as maybe there's legal loopholes in there that can be exploited. Maybe the municipality can still close roads or remove lanes. Once you're not putting a bike lane on street, the rules don't matter.

Trucks often have to use 'engine breaking' or a 'Jake brake' to slow down. Basically, they cut fuel in the intake stroke, changing the engine into a 'compressor' to exchange forward momentum into useless compressed air that gets thrown away in the exhaust. The result is a lot of 'noise' from the truck as it slows down. It's not intimidation, it's a valid way to slow down without excessive wear on wheel brakes. Or, it shouldn't be intimidation. In some municipalities, engine braking or Jake braking isn't permitted.

Freeland is incredibly capable - but can be tied, hand in glove, with everything Trudeau. Actually, the current joke is that Trudeau doesn't even do any work as PM, he just gives it to Freeland.

PP is going 'young, hip' - maybe they could use Fraser as the next PM candidate.

Already started. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/elmwood-transcona-conservative-byelection-strategy-1.7326238 They tried to make "Sellout Singh" a thing. It's right out of the playbook of "Dementia Don."

True. With PP hitching his wagon to the SOCAL-right, he will see deflation of the strength of his brand when his 'Trump-lite' playbook becomes laughable after a Dem win in the USA. So, he's frantic to force an election now while he's polling higher.

I would smile if I heard Singh respond with your first sentence.

"Did you know that salt and malt vinegar is not a traditional way to dress your French fries in the United States?"

"What the f#$% is wrong with them?"

I'd argue the opposite for one reason only - so that I can identify idiots, bigots and terrible people on sight. Any person in government that is causing me problems and showing religious garb? Kick it up to a supervisor if I think I can tie it to poor decision making based on goat-herder values from over 2000 years ago.

Conflict of interest? Say it ain't so...
