Really?
While Smith and Carney were announcing their MOU, today, Andrew Scheer posted this on social media. What kind of accountability is that, Andy?

We really enjoy going to Jets games but gotta say the geniuses at city hall have really buggered up the bus system. We wait twice as long both ways, as the number of Henderson buses have been halved. The Kildonans have always had great bus service, and perhaps we were spoiled, but no more.

Far-right Conservatives and perhaps really ignorant people are still travelling to the States but these are impressive numbers.

Getting set to attend our first game of the year tomorrow and had to pull this out of the drawer. JT was No. 1 son’s hockey hero back when. Stoked to have this competitor of competitors with the Jets, although probably not in tomorrow’s lineup.

This is amazing. Huge win for Canada if approved. Anglo American is one of the biggest, oldest mining cos. in the world. It owned the Flin Flon copper zinc mine for ages before production slipped and it sold, as mega mining cos do. What can u say? Carney pulls off another one.

Nothing directly for Manitoba in the first wave of national projects but that Foran copper mine in Saskatchewan is next door to Flin Flon (whose mine has finally closed) and will employ a lot of Manitobans. The Foran copper mine is in the Flin Flon Greenbelt and it will be a powerhouse,

Today’s CPC missive to members: “Mark Carney has FAILED at protecting Canada. With only talk and no action, he is letting you and our country down.”
PP is hard. For a guy who never worked in the real world, and never did anything in politics except play politics, he’s got all the answers.

Have you seen Macleans? Its entire issue is devoted to PP. Robert Fulford’s daughter is its editor and I doubt she’s CPC, so likely ordered by ownership.

The National Little PP’s Always Right Post is reporting it has found typos in a story about a dog Mark Carney wrote in Grade 3, suggesting the election frontrunner might not have won a spelling bee in that grade had one been held.

Here's a new one. I was stocking up at a Wpg liquor mart in East Kildonan, on Henderson Hwy, and was going to use a cart to load my car. It was evening and the clerk offered to help, and I said naw, that's ok. Then he insisted. Why? People have been getting knocked over for their liquor by...
