When I was growing up, a lot of right wing ppl mostly spoke about fiscal restraint, lower taxes, free trade, and - through partisan lenses - they supported things like the Charlottetown Accord. Ya, 'social conservatives' also existed. But the right today, by 1990s standards, are all lunatic fringe.

can you imagine finally deciding to spend the money to install a pool in your backyard, only to dig up five KILOGRAMS of gold... then getting to keep it after legally disclosing it?
Expert assessments determined the gold was between 15 and 20 years old.

All that happened here was months of sleazy grifting by both Rebel News and Universal Ostrich Farms.
What still matters is that the federal government absolutely refuse to grant any compensation.

To my knowledge, Canada still has emissions-reduction targets. Ontario no longer will.

This feels like a fundamental realignment in Canadian politics.
The Conservatives are completing their regression, begun in the 2015 “barbaric cultural practices” election, to their Reform Party roots.
The Liberals now resemble not the Mulroney PCs but the Harper Conservatives.
And the NDP is MIA.
