My home insurance company that I used happily for 25 years was acquired by Westland and they just gave me the most insulting BS renewal quote so I’m in the market for a new home insurer - suggestions appreciated!

Thanks to 🍊, Pierre Poilievre who is a temu 🍊 did not become prime minister of Canada.

How the USA pans out in the next few years, Canada sees what we don't want to become and reject those ideals.

We became stronger cause we needed to be and will continue to be true north always strong and free.

Canadian shipyards lost a $Billion opportunity to build new 🇨🇦BC Ferries - they didn’t have capacity. They better get ready for Canadian defence spending or they’ll lose out again. Stop complaining about lost business opportunities for Canadian business and employees. No excuses; just get ready!

“Pierre Poilievre continues to prove that he’s unfit to be prime minister. If the Conservatives were more of a political party, and less of a cult, they would read the writing on the wall.”

Anyone actually look at the housing catalogue?

Stories like this—which are shockingly common—are always in my mind when I read news stories about hysteria about e-bikes. It is like getting hysterical about pretend threats trans people pose in bathrooms as thousands of cis men commit actual sex crimes.

PP’s attack on #RCMP leadership has stirred drama within his caucus, with some of his own MPs questioning their support. His combative style and obsession with Trudeau show he’s not ready to be PM and reminds many 🇨🇦's of Trump.

“No opposition leader in a rule-of-law democracy should call for a PM or rival to be jailed. It undermines trust in our justice system & shows leadership rooted in grievance, not governance. #Poilievre hasn’t learned from his defeat.” – Dimitri Soudas, Harper's comms director & Sr. advisor

What did I notice about Mark Carney's address tonight? He got choked up in two spots where he was using his Canada Strong, Canadian values talking points. First, I think his motivations are strong and true. Second, I think he believes the worst is still to come in our economy. #cdnpoli

Leslie Roberts is proposing no longer clearing bike lanes in the winter.

He’s a prominent Canadian television host somewhat surprisingly running for city council in Montreal (with Ensemble Montréal).

One borough mayor I talked to said their borough has 1 bike lane plow vs 13 for sidewalks.

Victoria Police Chief refused my questions after claiming he was a good listener. Now he questions his own judgment:

“I am…concerned about what the public thinks of Victoria Police. The public…must trust us. We’ve got to make the right decisions. This wasn’t one of them.”

We had such hopes …
