According to Pierre Poilievre during a campaign stop in Hamilton on Wednesday: "Public spaces must be safe for everyone. We will take back our streets and restore order in our communities." Funny that! He was all for encouraging a massive truck blockade in Ottawa not all that long ago! HYPOCRITE!

Love this. As someone who started my career serving table at Boston Pizza, I've never had a problem with tipping, but it shouldn't be a replacement for a decent wage. And, with a vested interest in the success of the restaurant, not just "how much can I make in tips today", staff engagement is up.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney:
"We answered the call to defeat fascism. We know we are not always perfect, but we always strive to be good. We do not do things because they are easy, but because they are right. We will rise to meet this challenge, and we will emerge stronger."

Liberals should make a campaign promise to ban foreign ownership of our media. In this new world, it’s foreign interference posing as a direct existential threat. Force the Cons to fight for the opposite and show how unpatriotic they are. They won’t want to campaign against their Postmedia friends.
