Goodbye Roy. I was lucky enough to see you perform a show here in my home town a few years ago. Loved your fingerpickin' style on guitar, banjo, and fiddle. Loved your sense of humour too!

Shikaka!

This has to be the most disgusting moment yet for the virtue-signalling PM. Let's hope that voters take note.

That would have been priceless. Too bad CNN has no sense of humour.

Looks like they were so busy having a meltdown over Trump's tweets, they forgot to make a plan.

Ain't that a peach!

It appears that the Ontario government has pulled a "fast one" on pot smokers. There are no more illegal dope stores so that now, it's actually more difficult for people to obtain their drugs than before. Classic rip-off in true Toronto Jane-Finch-corridor homeboy style, which no doubt Doug Ford learned in his youth. Hell, he perfected it as an adult, and now holds office as Premier Doper of Ontario! Nicely done!

It is now virtually impossible to accept leftist criticism of Trump from a moral position, because they demonstrate their morality depends entirely on a person's politics.

Every political action prompts an equal and opposite reaction, I suppose.

Sounds like leftism.

Pretty much nailed it. Personally I'm for more beer, less poggy checks!

Answer is quite simple really, fella. BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE MONEY IS.

CNN certainly seems to be hell-bent on getting people very agitated, with their never-ending hyperbole. I see it more as CNN promoting blatant lies and misinformation, than mere stupidity. And I also suspect that somebody with an agenda and lots of money is paying for this airtime.

Why am I still married?

And yet the revolution will not be broadcast on television. Well, not on CBC anyway...

As opposed to a Kathleen Wynne?

Why just compassionate conservatism? I think the same thing can be said for liberals, who are in my view equally beholden to special money interests. Also the concept of "compassionate" needs to be picked apart. There's compassionate liberal soft-love, one that gives immediate comfort but could do so at the expense of long term improvement. In that regard there is compassionate conservative tough-love too. On one hand you have a reactionary impulse, the other has a longer field of view. So which one is "right"? Probably a carefully applied combination of the two. And indeed, that's what democracy is all about. As to the question about health care, I don't follow all the minutia of US politics down to that level but it's clear to me that they write these bills and try to put lots of other non-related stuff in it, making the bill in its entirety unpalatable. Even if the bill has good ideas, it doesn't pass. Having said that, if you compare Canadian and US health care it's difficult to say clearly which one is best. I've been to hospitals a lot lately unfortunately, with a sick family member and what I see going on is nothing less than shameful. Even upsetting, or worthy of anger when you consider the appalling waste of money that is the bureaucracy. Probably I hear code white on the intercom every night.
