When the french debate happens, the network really should have one empty podium on the stage.

How do YOU KNOW ^this?
Their spending habits when BLM started raking in millions?
REVEALED: BLM founder Patrisse Cullors paid her baby father $970,000 for 'creative services', her brother $840,000 for security, a fellow director $2.1m and reimbursed the organization $73,000 for a charter flight
Black Lives Matter spent millions on 'consulting services' in 2021
Newly released tax filings revealed that BLM paid $970K to co-founder Patrisse Cullors' baby daddy to help 'produce live events' and provide 'creative services'
The foundation also paid her brother $840K for security services
A consulting firm run by BLM board member Shalomyah Bowers was paid $2.1M for providing the organization with operational support
Bowers said the last BLM board approved the contract with his firm when he was not a board member
The filing also revealed that Cullors reimbursed BLM $73K for a charter flight and paid the foundation $390 for private use of its $6M Los Angeles mansion
Cullors resigned from BLM last year amid a wave of scrutiny surrounding the charity's finances
Controversy surrounding the organization's finances has elicited probes by at least two state attorneys general-

As if that negates EVERYTHING they stand for.
Certainly part of the reason they started the movement was for personal enrichment.
They promote falsehoods like police specifically target blacks.
They totally ignore deaths from black on black crime.

Like denigrating the leaders of BLM with the "Marxist" label as if that negates everything they stand for.
But the BLM leaders are Marxist. What do they stand for? It's safe to assume they stand for...Marxism. But like most Marxist leaders, they have also become fabulously wealthy along the way.

Who did that?
Many progressives think blacks aren't capable of getting their own ID or that they aren't up to speed on the use of computers.
While discussing the need to bring AI technology jobs to Black and brown communities at the Milken Institute Global Conference on Monday, Hochul said, “Right now, we have young Black kids growing up in the Bronx who don’t even know what the word ‘computer’ is.”
White liberals are pretty racist.

The federal government will spend $46.5 billion
on debt servicing charges in 2023/24, which is
nearly what the government expects to spend on
the Canada Health Transfer ($49.4 billion), and significantly more than it expects to spend on child care benefits ($31.2 billion).It's only money right? Let's just keep on borrowing more and just pass it on to the next generation.

I've long thought Canada should have a population of 100 mil. Country this size with a pop. of 40 mil, about California's or metro Tokyo? Getting there's the problem, for sure but 60 mil over 75 yrs? might be doable.
A big population is no guarantee of more prosperity. The Liberals have a mass immigration policy now and our per capita GDP has fallen.
Carney likely agrees with Trudeau about us having no core identity so he'll continue to bring in people that don't share our values.
100 million people AND net-zero? Yeah right.

Canada may be screwed since it seems that a lot of people are suddenly perfectly happy with the very mediocre current government.
A Liberal win will be great for the US. The following was from the Epoch Times.
A Fifth of Canadian Companies Eye Relocation to the US Amid Tariff Concerns: Poll
Some Canadian companies are considering a move to the United States as a strategy to evade tariffs and protect the future of their businesses, a new survey suggests.
Nineteen percent of the 283 Canadian companies that participated in the survey indicated they would consider relocating part or all of their production to the United States to safeguard the sustainability of their operations, the survey from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Canada found.
Many of the businesses considering a move south of the border were from the industrial and automotive industries.
“While a lower percentage—19 percent—are looking at moving production to the United States, this is still a fairly significant number that does raise concerns for the Canadian economy,” the report said. “It’s also notable that the percentage considering this action rises to 37 percent among respondents in the industrial manufacturing and automotive industries.” -

Canada's standard of living on track for worst decline in 40 years
Slump in GDP per person threatens to be longest and largest since 1985, says studyMeasure Canada’s gross domestic product by aggregate and it doesn’t look so bad, but measure it by person or per capita and it’s dismal.
For example, between 2000 and 2023 Canada had the second highest rate of aggregate GDP growth in the G7, but one of the lowest growth rates per person.
With Carney at the helm, it's the same old, same old.

How do we compare to our American friends in per capita GDP?
Trevor Tombe, an economics professor at the University of Calgary, has written a piece for the Hub about the gap in economic performance between the U.S. and Canada. America’s much-discussed growth slowdown is very real, but the picture north of the border is even worse.
“Compared to the same period last year, per capita GDP is now down 2.2 percent. Compared to 2022, it’s down 3.6 percent,” Tombe writes. “As RBC analysts correctly noted, this is a ‘recession-like’ performance.”
“A longer historical perspective reveals a striking reality: the gap between the Canadian and American economies has now reached its widest point in nearly a century,” he continues. “The U.S. is on track to produce nearly 50 percent more per person than Canada will.”
In a post on X promoting the story, Tombe included a map of U.S. states and Canadian provinces by GDP per capita. The data are measured in U.S. dollars, at purchasing-power parity.
It shows that Ontario, home of Canada’s business capital of Toronto, would be the fifth-poorest U.S. state if it joined the union today. Ontario’s GDP per capita is $59,700. Only four states — Alabama ($58,800), Arkansas ($57,400), West Virginia ($56,200), and Mississippi ($49,800) — have lower GDPs per capita.
Wow, not so encouraging!

Legitimate fear of Trump and Trumpism, caused by his words and actions actually.
Will you pivot to someone else after Trump finishes his second term? Trump won't be the White House so now we have to focus our hate on the next Republican who may or not be president?
I think the decision should be based on the capabilities/suitability of the aircraft itself and not solely on dislike for one individual.

I would say that anyone that is obsessed with things like net-zero and ESG cannot be a closet conservative.

Why do you post a headline from NYT and a LINK from NYP. That's just silly.
Don't you know that headlines are very often erroneously related the to story REPORTING?
The rest of the NYT story was behind a paywall.
Here it is again, even though you will dismiss it as FAKE NEWS etc etc

Did FOS LIES tell you ^this? That's how it makes sense. LMAO
Is the Biden administration 'not even testing' migrants released in the U.S.?
A NYT headline:
Covid on the Border: Migrants Aren’t Tested on Arrival in U.S.
The Border Patrol says it has insufficient time and space to conduct coronavirus testing at crowded processing stations. Officials in border cities fear further spread of the virus.
So, some were tested, many were not?

Since when did you guys on the left start loving Goldman Sachs type bankers such as Mark Carney?

I see now that the CBC actually did carry this story, but they still spin it by pointing out how Trump and PP are similar(putting their own countries first).
Imagine the horror of a leader wanting to put his or her own country first!🙄

You didn't think. When immigrants are sick, they need to be kept from infecting everyone else without killing them..
Even during the worst of the Covid outbreak, the Biden/Harris administration was letting enormous numbers of untested people walk across the southern border.
How did this make sense?

Good job!
Is funding things like 'Lesbian Pirates' money well spent in your estimation?
Do bankers typically give out loans for this kind of stuff?

It seems that a lack of French for Ruby Dhalla and Chandra Arya was a rather big deal for the Liberals. But with Mark Carney? Nothing to see here folks!
How will the other candidates react? Will they all gang up on Poilievre and ignore the no-show Liberal Prime Minister?
