It's worth noting that in his statement on Truth Social, Trump dropped the "Governor" BS and called Carney the Prime Minister.

We should never go back

I agree...but at some point, there will have to be normalization. Whatever that new normal ends up being.

I've liked what Carney has said outside of the campaign - in his meetings with European leaders, he's been talking about this new status quo we find ourselves in as a permanent change in the global order, rather than a four-year blip.

On the campaign trail? I can't say that he's been particularly inspiring so far.

The video's pretty light on details on the model, aside from what it's made of, but Memory Alpha has some info on it.

Sure, but I think...

Smith was, let's remember, a media pundit in her past career(s) — known to workshop or test-drive different ideas or theories live on air. Rhetorical spaghetti flung on the wall.

...covers that pretty effectively.

I don't think so. It delves a little into "politics as sports," which I never appreciate, but Jason Markusoff isn't prone to carrying water for Smith or the UCP.

Based on your description, I don't think your father would have qualified for MAID in its current form - recipients must be able to provide informed consent immediately before receiving medical assistance in dying, with very narrow exceptions.

That seems like a little much - there's plenty of foreign media that produces worthwhile content.

Blacklisting certain outlets, on the other hand...

He's not Mr. Right...but he is Mr. Right Now.

Dominion Review is a Canadian publication providing novel and dissenting perspectives on issues that matter to our country.

Oh.

And look at that, the site's editor has been published in...

-The Epoch Times (19 times!)

-The Financial Post (4 times)

-The Vancouver Sun (twice)

-The Western Standard

And other publications that I'm sure are highly esteemed and worth our time.

I guess they think "respectful and firm" is their best shot at taking a stand without alienating their base.

I don't think it's going to play.

I truly wish I had some advice for you, but I honestly have no idea what to say to someone who thinks a "news" source like that is worth a grain of salt.

 

Lukács's group sued WestJet last year in response to guidelines found on the web page where passengers were sent to submit requests for reimbursement because of flight delays or cancellations.

The original language said, "WestJet will reimburse you up to $150.00 CAD ($200.00 CAD for non-Canadian destinations)" and "meal expenses to a maximum of $45 CAD per day/per guest."

"The Montreal Convention does not provide limits for specific out-of-pocket expenses such as $250 for accommodations, $50 for food, $10 for roaming fees," the lawsuit reads.

"Imposing such limits would be contrary to Article 26 of the Montreal Convention."

 

It's a pretty small update - the project is still in the very early stages:

And last week at the premiere when pressed on their progress, Kurtzman confirmed he had “not yet” seen scripts, noting “They’re just breaking story.” The executive producer also said he speaks to them about the project regularly, adding “I mean, I adore both of them so much, they’re so fantastic, and I trust them a lot.”

 

Approximately a month ago, following Freeland’s dramatic exit from the Liberal cabinet, the Conservatives opened up a seemingly insurmountable lead of 25 points. Since then, the entire complexion of what appeared to be an inevitable Conservative majority has changed. This massive lead has virtually evaporated over a one-month period.
