Canada is not the USA and we MUST each of us correct the lie about our parliamentary system EVERY TIME IT’S uttered or we are part of the problem.
In Canada, parties do not own seats or MPs or ridings. A geographical region has that seat and they put a PERSON in it.
Full stop.

I feel as though there should be a law that says if Pierre Poilievre gets defenestrated as CPC leader in January then he has to move to Battle River—Crowfoot and live there until the next election because I think this would teach everyone involved an invaluable lesson about shenanigans.

Such fun watching 🍁gun cultists throw hairy fits when one of their MPs wakes up, crosses the floor. Having no sense of history, they seem unaware that it’s been happening since time immemorial.

ROSIE: You've now lost two MPs to the Liberal Party... Is this a problem of your leadership?
POILIEVRE: No, it's a problem of Mark Carney's leadership that after Canadians clearly rejected a costly Liberal majority... he is trying to manipulate his way through backroom deals.

Trump pushes Ukraine to give up the entire Donbass, then disguises a big economic deal with Moscow as a “peace plan.” Energy, AI, rare metals… more business than diplomacy. But hey, when peace is sold like a Black Friday promo, you can’t expect much better.

Canadian air passenger traffic to U.S. down for 9th consecutive month - National | Globalnews.ca
The drop comes almost a year after U.S. President Donald Trump first started musing about making Canada the 51st state, a threat he has repeated throughout the trade war.

Congress just gave $900 billion to the US military in case you were wondering if there were any repercussions for blowing up civilian ships on the high seas. Meanwhile, the FIFA peace participation trophy guy still manages to keep the Epstein list out of the headlines.
