Was it fiery but mostly peaceful?

I love how the conclusory statement is a complete nonsequitur that has no point.

I also love the general sentiment that the country with one of the lowest tax burdens among OECD countries is somehow "bloated," especially when three quarters of that spending goes to income support (for old/poor people), health care (for old/poor people), and military spending. The three-letter agencies are a pretty small portion of spending by comparison, but politicians from both parties have failed to work towards meaningful reform of those big areas for decades (with the lone exception of Obamacare which needs improvements, but has since been ridiculed instead of reformed).

It's the equivalent of focusing heavily on what your household spends on sponges, streaming apps, and shoes specifically while ignoring child care, mortgage, and car payments.

What a dumb dumb.

And also: Who the fuck cares what the founding fathers wanted? It's a different fucking world with different fucking problems (catfishing ) than a bunch of drunk slaveowners could ever have imagined.

This is maybe my favourite answer from a politician ever.

NDP not ‘ruling out’ making interference inquiry a must for continuing Liberal support - National | Globalnews.ca

'That's something we absolutely have the ability to do,' NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said about revisiting the confidence-and-supply agreement with the Liberal government.

globalnews.ca

“I’m not precluding in any way ruling out that it could come to a point that we’ve got to exercise that ability. That’s something we absolutely have the ability to do,” Singh said in the interview.

Singh demanded a public inquiry today and it looks like Trudeau isn't going to do that. I can't see how the NDP can keep supporting the government after that and I can't see how Polievre doesn't table a non-confidence motion to force Singh's hand.

Could be election time. Again.

FWIW 338 still has the Liberals winning a minority gov't although NDP support this time wouldn't be enough to govern. Only way either party would be able to govern would be with BQ support.

It's going to happen whether this spring or in a year or two.

He's shown zero inkling to resign or allow a new leader to take over and the opposition are all terrible so he's not going to get voted out. I thought for a minute Polievre might have enough leash to win a minority but he sounds exactly like Scheer and that didn't work the first time.

Homewrecker - She broke up her skating partner's marriage and then she divorced him to hook up with former NHLer Craig Simpson. They are now divorced. Bad news is what I'm saying.

'No evidence of spillage': Shelter-in-place order lifted following train derailment in Clark County

Officials say 20 cars of a 212-car Norfolk Southern train derailed while traveling southbound in Springfield Saturday evening.

Second verse, same as the first!

I live in Clark County, Ohio. This happened on the East side of Springfield, next to the industrial park. I don't know why it became national news, other than reporters trying to scoop East Palestine, part 2.
