What a day for the impeachment inquiry! I’m biased of course, but I don’t think Devin Nunes got anywhere with his stupid “boooooring!” comments. Of course the narrative is complicated and the questions and testimony got into the weeds sometimes, but it was fascinating all the same. Vindman and Williams

Those of you calling for Stephen Miller to be fired by the White House because he has been revealed (again) to be a white supremacist do not understand that’s the reason why he was hired. — David Rothkopf (@djrothkopf) November 12, 2019 Employers favor men not because they are prejudiced

Chief Petty Officer Margaret Louise Byam — my mother. I have often wondered now why she did it, but she died before I thought to ask her. A small-town Prairie girl, the youngest of four daughters, she joined the Wrens during World War 2 and off she went to Halifax

In the Star Phoenix, Doug Cuthand talks sense about Western separatism: Kenny and Moe remind me of the two cartoon dogs, Spike and Chester. Remember them? Spike was a mean bulldog and Chester was his little sidekick who pranced around saying that Spike was his hero because he was so

What does Andrew Sheer, Stephen Harper and I have in common? None of us could beat Justin Trudeau! Lol — Patrick Brazeau -Algonquin 🇨🇦 (@senatorbrazeau) October 24, 2019

I didn’t hear it myself, but I guess Singh was taking too long with his concession speech and Scheer started his concession speech before Singh finished, then Trudeau started HIS victory speech before Scheer finished. And the Canadian media were just thrilled. Nobody ever seems to turn down an opportunity

So Russia is moving in to the Middle East, now that Trump has abandoned the field: The negotiations ended in a victory for Mr. Putin: Russian and Turkish troops will take joint control over a vast swath of formerly Kurdish-held territory in northern Syria, in a move that cements the

So CBC’s Katie Simpson was impressed that Andrew Scheer’s speech in Richmond Hill Ontario last night attracted 1,500 people, she calls it his biggest crowd so far: Biggest crowd I’ve seen so far for Andrew Scheer. We’ll do a rough count and ask party for numbers as we do. The

Andrew Scheer seemed doomed to finish his first (and perhaps last) election campaign as CPC leader without having accomplished anything of significance. Then, he managed the impossible: He ceded the moral high ground to Maxime Bernier. #KinsellaGate #MaximeBernier #cdnpoli — Sir Francis (@Dred_Tory) October 19, 2019

NOTE: I just edited this post title to clarify that EKOS is predicting a Liberal government, but isn’t yet predicting a Liberal MAJORITY – depends on how some of the close seats go. Here’s the latest tweet from EKOS: Flash! For all those still up I have just received my

Two days to go, and we may well have a winner for worst media tweet of this election. Here it is, from CBC’s Rosemary Barton, along with my somewhat snarky reply: Rosemary I did not realize there were 1000s of activist Canadians who were just waiting for election of a

Here are some photos of Climate Change/Greta Thunberg rally in Edmonton. Climate Justice Edmonton says there were 10,000 at the rally. I guess United We Roll was there too with counter-protestors in trucks, but they aren’t visible in these photos: I don’t think the counter-protestors are playing a winning hand. Here’s a
