Public services are allowed to operate in the red because the money to operate them, provided by tax revenue, is fixed by the budget and does not need to be paid back. We pay for the service through taxation and if the service requires more money to operate efficiently we should be either increasing taxes to cover the cost or trimming management positions.

Go tend your own farm instead of admiring ours!

-Canadian done with Americans chiming in like this.

Do me a favour and quote Trudeau saying exactly this, with a source. Otherwise, don't spout misinformation from the mouth of a monster.

Don't worry to much about it. There hasn't been a signal leak yet so I think we are fine for now.

The Conservative stance on Israel has been the same for a very long time, and Pierre's stance on the matter is in no way shocking.

He is the lap dog of an ex-PM who literally believes the rapture will begin in Canada and support of Israel is an important means to that end.

Nothing he says about Israel should come as a shock to anyone even partially aware of politics.

The best part about this information is that the Conservative Party cannot deny any of it, and every other party can support the allegations.

Under the original lane for 100x the cost?

I didn't realize there was a difference between "Hero of the Right" and a raving lunatic. haha

Sorry to say everyone, shit is about to get violent again. It already happened in Halifax when a couple was assaulted by a group of Men. Threats are on the rise, vandalism on the rise, and violence on the rise. Not to mention the attacks on the political levels helping to drive this forward.

Pulling out and cancelling the events because the bigots are getting spicy is how they succeed in rolling back every inch gained in the last 50 years. Go to pride, be proud, and be "on your way to a baseball game".

This cannot be tolerated, accepted, or met with pacifism.

...against a backdrop of questions about Joe Biden’s mental sharpness.

How to spot a worthless article 101:

Step 1: It includes absolutely irrelevant information designed to push a narrative at all times.

Step 2: It was published by "The Guardian".

How is this comment helpful or productive?

The sad part about all of this is that it really does not matter what facts are released, what reports are corrected, or what expert sides with who.

For every one piece of real information there are 100 false or misleading pieces around it. That is what I am noticing anyways. I can barely find a news article from a week ago without going direct to source and even then the search option on News sites leaves much to be desired.

I don't even know what I am trying to say anymore. Anyone interested in forming a new party before next federal? I am serious if you are.
