My thoughts are with the people of Tennessee and with the families and friends of those who lost their lives in today’s tragic incident. Canada stands with everyone affected as they grieve this terrible tragedy.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

For more than 30 years, B.C. unions have been fighting for sectoral bargaining — a process to bring workers and employers from similar businesses to a single negotiating table.

Employers say it would create instability.

Unions and researchers say it would level the playing field. #bclab #bcpoli

Before we get our lily pads in a bunch. My $s are on Crusader Pete either confused, drunk & not knowing how the DoD operates has screwed up the announcement. Regardless Idaho has a huge number of heavily armed civilian militia clubs. But since Qatar supports Hamas maybe part of the "peace" deal.

Oh yeah. It will go to some company front run by their family or cronies that gets the "contract" for the program. We all know how it works after Tylenot.

Unsaid in this is that Poilievre is also using way less French than he did in the previous parliament during QP, FWIW.

A comprehensive analysis by Radio-Canada reveals that less than one-fifth of the content of the prime minister's speeches since he was elected has been in French.

Funny how they don't mention multiple citizenships of elected officials. Scheer is an American citizen, Rempel spends half her time in Oklahoma. There should be an inventory of elected officials who hold multiple citizenships & determine where their first loyalty lies.

Is this alarming?

I would say yes b/c going through all the cell phones of your caucus is a serious issue and one that deserves to be questioned

Any control of media by a politician is a bad look

When Canadian Press reporter Wolfgang Depner asked Rustad if he was paranoid, Rustad said no. While the scrum was still underway Rustad’s chief of staff, Brad Zubyk, called it a “bullshit question” and said the reporter would be barred from asking questions in the future. thetyee.ca/News/2025/10...
