I, for one, am in awe that she is never, ever wrong.

Dear the rest of Canada;

Half of us think Danielle is an idiot, and not even a useful one.

Sincerely,

There's no getting to this so-called "Canada's coast" without crossing BC land, Moe.

There is no Alberta oil. It's Canada's oil. There is no Saskatchewan potash. It's Canada's potash. The entire country has the right to your resources, according to Scott Moe.

Sorry. I’m suggesting that any deterioration could also have begun with Bibi’s tenure.

Can we start framing this not as “won’t get his clearance” but with something more relevant and Canadian-centred rather than PP-centred?

Something like “can’t be trusted with Canada’s secrets,” maybe.
