Mark Carney: dangerous and divided world.
Catherine McKenna: say it loud enough and people will believe it.
The Liberal playbook, remixed.
Is ot to early to get excited at the prospect of the Oilers finally having goaltending. And I dont mean just today, I mean for some years to come? Levi, Tomkins, Unger, maybe. Gone are the days of your rectum puckering up everytime a puck heads towards the Oilers net.
Thats a very different message than the one Carney shared with Euro media. Under no circumstances is Carney going to sign a deal, even a rolled out red carpet deal with Trump. Hes to much in bed with the Democratic party. He also needs Trump as the villian.
President Trump on a Trade Deal with Canada: “We have the concept of a very good deal with Canada. We've been losing money for many years with Canada, many, many years. 70, 75 years. We are now, I spoke with the Prime Minister the other day. I spoke to him again yesterday. We have the concept of a deal that's going to be great for our farmers, great for our country. And it would be fine for Canada.”
Reporter: “Is the Keystone Pipeline apart of the deal?”
President Trump: “Yeah, we do. They're going to build, which I think is great. They're going to build the Keystone Pipeline. They're going to pay for it. They're going to pay for all of it. We're going to get to the route. We'll actually make the example that they'll build the Keystone Pipeline.”

Pay attention to how Mark Carney and Ursula von der Leyen are redefining SOVEREIGNTY.
Sovereignty means a nation's supreme authority to govern itself, make its own laws, and determine its own future.
Carney now tells us that a “more dangerous and divided world” has fundamentally changed the requirements of sovereignty.
Von der Leyen declares: “Sovereignty is no longer the freedom to act alone, but the capacity to act together.”
Notice the shift?
Sovereignty is no longer being presented as independence, but as something achieved through deeper international integration.
So much for the True North Strong and Free 🇨🇦
Talking about a play from a player last year, and completely miss the play on Howard. Oh Howards down, what happened. JFC, so bad

Mobland's episode 7 is so good that I am currently watching it for the 5th time in the less than 24 hours..
What do you guys think about the episode 7?
Johnny Flynn as Frankie Cooper and Tom Hardy as Harry Da Souza in Mobland are two of the best performances and charachters that you will see in a TV show. So good.
Holy shit. What the heck happened here?
Breaking: Nikita Kucherov has requested a trade from the Tampa Bay Lightning, sources tell @emilymkaplan.
So do we have details on this Canada/EU agreement, that wasn't even on anyones radar during election campaigns, or is this just another, trust me bro, and all the supporters just do? I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but maybe I missed the release.

I don't recall us giving Carney and Solomon a mandate to spend our tax dollars on their friend's AI company. Government shouldn't be picking winners and losers.
Also worrisome from a speech perspective since they intend to control AI speech with C-34.

All the Alberta NDP activists complaining about "gerrymandering" had nothing to say about Rachel Notley's Alberta NDP government consolidating rural ridings and creating 3 separate new urban ridings in Calgary and Edmonton.
Although the AB NDP was so unpopular by 2019 the gerrymandering couldn't save them from being washed out by the UCP.
The truth is what the UCP government is doing now is Un-gerrymandering the map so the Alberta NDP cannot win elections while losing the popular vote by a country mile.
The proposed boundary changes the UCP threw out last year would have made it EVEN EASIER for the NDP to win elections by making the urban slant of Calgary ridings worse.
The NDP is the party that can win elections while losing the popular vote by 8% and yet they are complaining about the UCP letting a judge better draw lines to not have a bunch of Calgary ridings all dog-leg into downtown to allow for the NDP to win while never trying to win votes outside of the urban core of Calgary and Edmonton.
Calgary-Elbow after the last redistricting looks like someone broke someone's elbow in the way it carves up suburban areas and cures around MRU to try and absorb some urban downtown neighbourhoods.
I'm running for Calgary-Currie's UCP nomination (shameless plug: wyattclaypool.com) and I never knew why the riding for some reason reaches downtown to Sunalta and Bankview yet Wildwood is not part of the riding but Sprucecliff is???
Not that my opinions on the map matter but I'm just pointing out the maps the Alberta NDP left us with are obviously designed to allow the NDP to win very tight victories by baking a bunch of downtown Calgary and Edmonton into several ridings to offset the popularity of the UCP province-wide.
Last election the NDP only lost on seat count by a couple thousand votes across the tightest ridings in Calgary, and if they did get those extra votes they would have had a majority despite losing the popular vote by more than 8%.
I don't believe in Proportional Representation based only on popular vote.
We need a balance between overall popular vote and local support. If a party wins the popular vote by 2% but losses on seats that's fine since one party being hyper-popular in one region should not necessary decide the election if the other party is winning more local races across the province.
BUT, obviously an 8-10% popular vote victory for one party in a 2 party system should logically always result in that party winning the most seats.
The NDP is mad that the map is becoming more fair and will better balance popular will across the province with local choice.
The NDP want to be able to ignore the majority of voters and sneak into office with tight victories in urban areas.
