Decades of confirmation hearings where women testify to abuse and sexual violence, only for the men in question to rise to higher positions of power, is a perfect encapsulation of why more victims don’t come forward.

Very helpful thread on the Governor-General’s authority. Note the fixed election date is 2025 , not 2024 .
When might the GG exercise her reserve powers? A few hypotheticals:
a) The PM might be dismissed if he tries to get around the 2024 fixed date election in the Canada Elections Act, after being explicitly warned not to think about it.

Just read over the CRA guidance on what is eligible for temporary tax relief. It ends with advice to businesses:” Make a reasonable effort to comply”.🤦🏻

The dystopian plot thickens. The billionaire banana man joins the cast.
Call me crazy, but I think Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted for fraud by the SEC, sending Trump $18 million should be a bigger story
The direct enrichment of Trump by a foreign national weeks before he takes office has merited no coverage in the NYT or Washington Post

Chinese Crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun paid $6.2 million for a banana — sold by Sotheby's as conceptual art — and then ate it last Friday.

Doug Ford isn't running against the Liberals or the NDP.
He's running against publicly funded health care, bike lanes, safe consumption sites, autism support, and fair wages for nurses and teachers.

Trump wanted the Covid vaccine out before the 2020 election because he thought it would help him win, & he agreed to appoint RFK Jr as HHS Secretary to get him to drop out because he thought it would help him win in 24. In both cases, the health of Americans was never considered.
