This is a pretty sad article for the CBC to run. It’s not news and it’s not analysis.
It’s got nothing to do with the Riders winning the Grey Cup other than giving the writer a Saskatoon slag at Regina and letting his readers know he is part of that Saskatoon cult ure.

Regina residents are facing a proposed property tax explosion of 15.69 per cent. And the increase is not derived from a massive expansion of services. Like Saskatoon’s spike, it would pay merely to ma...

It’s worth noting that Poilievre’s new campaign manager is a Christian ultranationalist who is responsible for Blaine Higgs (former NB Premier), etc.

He’s literally Project 2025 Canada edition.

Is MAGA not the same as a cartel as defined by Trump & his cronies?
… US state department is adamant that the Cartel de los Soles not only exists but that it has "corrupted Venezuela's military, intelligence, legislature, and judiciary".
What is Cartel de los Soles, which the US is labelling a terrorist organisation?
The US says it is headed by Venezuela's president and other senior politicians, but some analysts say it does not even exist.

If Carney cancels the F-35, he will piss off DND who still want that plane so they can play with the big boys in the Pentagon. If Carney doesn't buy the Gripen, he will piss off everyone on every bar stool in every Legion and local across the country, because those people have made up their minds.
“Arguing that a country of 40 million people “can’t” operate two fighter types and must use a single jack-of-all-trades aircraft is not a serious position.” #cdnpoli
This was a very interesting and fairly nuanced read:

Hey Scott Moe where are you on this issue? We know you want an oil pipeline to the NW coast of BC but you haven’t said anything about #skpoli’s Nutrien shipping potash to a new port facility in US? #skpoli #cdnpoli

Ottawa is pressing Nutrien to change course on building a potash export terminal in the U.S.
The Saskatchewan-based fertilizer giant this week chose Longview, Wash., for its new export terminal worth up to $1-billion

What I find problematic about Scott Moe’s roll in this is while he is talking about the need for another pipeline and oil handling port in Northern BC it’s crickets when Saskatchewan’s Nutrien Corporation decides to ship potash through a port in the US-not Canada. #skpoli

Wow.
US “you better buy our shit-or else”.
Sweden “we are looking for partners-not clients”.
I guess that tells us all we need to know and what we need to do. #cdnpoli
This feels like extortion.The future of trade talks depends on Canada's decision about the US F-35s. The US controls the software, updates, upgrades, maintenance and parts. They also incorporate a kill switch. Do we trust them given their recent instability & threats?

What strikes me about this editorial is that it points to the strengthening corporatist nature (Nordic model) within Canada. #cdnpoli

Voters as a group, like individuals, are not immune to those who will say anything to get your vote. And once in power act in their own political/financial self interest. Case in point. Rural #skpoli votes for grifting #saskparty and are provided with dwindling rural population, and health services.
