Any reason Sporecaster and Tarspotter apps not working? Says weather not available. It is a handy app to keep track of different locations especially with the isolated rainfalls

The Liberal platform, complete with costing, has already been taken down. It got too much flack from every media outlet in the country. Carney is proposing to run $100+ billion deficits for the next 3 years. His platform is even worse than Trudeau's

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe criticizes PM-designate Mark Carney’s decision to prioritize a visit to the EU instead of addressing Canada’s ongoing trade wars with the U.S. and China.

If they want to do business then shouldn’t prorogue and work inside the House of Commons with all MPs that serve their region
Prime Minister Trudeau announced that he will hold a Cabinet retreat in the Outaouais region, Quebec. Cabinet will work to defend Canadian interests and strengthen Canada’s mutually beneficial trade relationship with the United States: ow.ly/uZyw50UGna4

So apparently @HydroOne thinks they can drive anywhere in farmers fields without permission and not even on a right of way! This is 3rd crew in a row that has done whatever they feel like doing. Anyone else in Ontario have trouble with them? @GrainFarmers

#article The Canadian government's carbon tax is a sham that punishes ordinary Canadians while turning a blind eye to Chinese imports that are responsible for a significant portion of carbon emissions. Take, for example, Canadian Tire, a popular retail chain in Canada. A majority of their goods are manufactured in China, where labor and emission standards are nonexistent. Why is the Canadian government not taxing these imports that are contributing to climate change? Instead, they are targeting hardworking Canadians who are struggling to make ends meet. Canadians are already burdened with high heating bills, expensive groceries, and rising fuel costs due to this tax. The government claims that the carbon tax will incentivize industry to reduce emissions, but in reality, it does nothing unless companies are given billions of dollars to set up shop in Canada. This is a blatant misuse of taxpayer money that only benefits a select few corporations while leaving ordinary Canadians in poverty. It is time for the Canadian government to wake up and address the real issue at hand - China's lack of environmental regulations and their impact on global emissions. Until they do, the carbon tax is nothing more than a cash grab that will continue to punish Canadians and do nothing to address the root cause of climate change #cdnpolitics #cdnpoli

Conservative MP Raquel Dancho speaks with reporters following her ejection from the House of Commons. The temporary removal came after Dancho declined to apologize for comments made during a question period exchange on Bill C-21, the government's firearms legislation. #cdnpoli
