Hey China, you want to show some gratitude towards Canada, how about releasing those two Canadians that you've kept away from their families for over 14 months?!?

Yeah. Nobody champions "science-based and rational judgement" quite like the Chinese government.

And no, that's not a parody account. ^^^ That is the official "war room" account that Kenney platformed on.

Denying people from their workplaces is pretty much what they’ve been doing from the start, Johnny. Guess it just matters more when it’s your workplace huh.

I posted the same tweet in the Vancouver People thread - John Horgan is a slightly better premier than Jason Kenney.

/No, that's not much of a compliment.

Wonder how many of the failing papers are ones whose websites refuse to let you read anything unless you subscribe?

The local paper here does that and I haven't read anything from them in a year.

They completely overestimated now many people actually give a fuck about their estimeed columnists’ opinions.

The only shot they had was to band together as larger groups and sell combined subscriptions at low rates. They all wanted to keep their own show going and now they’ll all suffer. Oh well.

It’s good to see that smaller metros are growing at a faster clip. Hopefully that trend continues and takes some of the pressure off of Toronto going forward.

Dispatch (local paper) has some good writers, but overall it's crap. I get so sick of reading "news" stories about some new chicken joint opening up near campus. I am not paying you to read advertising.

Meanwhile north of the 49th parallel...


I don't know the difference between an elected chief and a heredity chief, to be honest. What I have read is that the majority of the Wet'suwet'en are in favour of this pipeline. Also, Victoria police report that there were four cases of assault in front of the legislature building, so patience is wearing thin.

glad you asked. hereditary chiefs are those that lost the voting process for leadership, so tried to dismiss the results with the logic of "my great great great grandpappy was the grand poohbah, therefore it my hereditary right no matter what the election says"

this element isn't getting enough attention, imho.
