THIS. Strike while they're vulnerable.
The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

The most important thing @mark-carney.bsky.social can do for #CanadaSky is election reform so that we never have to worry about a Conservative majority again. Otherwise, his achievements are temporary. #ElectionReform #FairVote @markgerretsen.bsky.social
Because he's losing with a massive popularity deficit. Someone finally convinced him that the stakes are higher than his need to score cheap shots. Plus, he won't really be more collaborative, but he will keep saying it to see if his numbers improve. #cdnpoli
Why does Pierre Poilievre now have a more collaborative attitude towards the Liberal government? Strategists Susan Smith, @colewhogan.bsky.social and George Soules weight in on the matter.

Canada isn’t waiting on Washington.
PM Mark Carney confirms 12 new trade & security deals across 4 continents and 190,000 jobs created since August—more than the U.S.

So the profits of the Canadian grocery monopoly remain intact, publicly funded even? This is much like the food donation bins just past check out, graciously put out by grocery concerns, allowing consumers to buy from them then donate.
