I've made a failure WRT my winnepegness? Have you been drinking?

Failure. You've got to be a proud pegger, my friend.

I honestly don't have a clue what you're talking about.

Is that all you got?

Of course Canada has a veto on ratifying it. Lets see if we can build 100% consensus first though!

I think they will ratify it....unless of course it becomes unpopular enough.

Trudeau is on the horns of his usual dilemma with this one....If he supports it, somebody will whisper that he is just a flea on the back of the former PM who did the deal, THE SATAN WHO CANNOT BE NAMED but certainly can be blamed. On the other hand, Liberals have been foursquare behind free trade in word and action since their embarrassing flipflop on NAFTA in the Chretien days.

Trudeau should give Chuck Guite a pardon

That's probably correct. I think that has to do with who he had to choose from and who could best fit in each position, in his view. As the Liberals say, they see all of the ministers as equals. They may change the rate of pay for Ministers of State to reflect that.

Update from CBC:

a senior government source speaking on background told CBC News that what was presented to the public on Wednesday is, in fact, what's real: all 30 are full ministers.

Some of the Treasury Board statutes pertaining to cabinet roles, however, have to be changed to give all these roles full ministerial status and salaries, retroactive to Wednesday.

Yes, some of you are desperately boring.

Rona Ambrose is one of those desperately boring people.

She was also an awful minister... as environment minister, she was a disaster.

And having a social conservative as Minister for the Status of Women is crazy.

Too bad she won't be the party leader.... she's a good choice for those who want to see the CPC lose the next election.

Bahaha that was awesome! In that grandpa cardigan too, love it!!

The racist snitch line just needed some better messaging... policy-wise, it's a great idea!!

<sarcasm>

saw that PnP interview... his delusion fits quite well with the tough year he's having! First his Sun News baby... and now this - oh my, where's he going to land now?

Did you guys read Krista Erickson's dish on working with Teneycke?

I want President Larry David.

I'm glad, he represents the status quo.

Wow, his polling numbers were better than Hilary. I'm sure he's been well taken care of for his decision.

Conservatives only got 32% of the vote, so 99 seats isn't that unproportional for them. They will probably continue to support FPTP. You would think they would have learned that it is a terrible system after they had to unite the right over a decade ago.

Wonder if JT will fix the system now that he has a majority. Doubt it.

It would be interesting to know who called in the strike and why, ad why the coordinates that supposedly been provided didn't pop up prior to the attack. They got some 'splainin to do for sure.

Finally, the War On Doctors has begun!

well then he might be an idiot

Lizards are known for green too....you might be onto something.

Is this yet another conspiracy theory?

No. Just find it amusing.

Well one nice thing this time is we here on the west coast may not have the outcome already decided before we go to bed. So I'll have some punch on hand.

I have to go and help count ballots...it shouldn't take long to count 64 ballots. It's the paperwork that might keep me

I'm bring the vodka to spike the punch.

The NDP in Edmonton have twice had front page ads stating how close they were in a couple of ridings, and to vote for Mulcair even though neither is his riding. The latest ad was a few days ago. The polls they cite are from mid August and mid Septemeber.

Did the look like Elections Canada announcements?

@ Squid, Green party's CO2 emission tax approach is far superior to the NDP's cap-and-trade approach. NDP's approach is basically the same but with higher implementation costs.

So where's your video?

shark, it wouldn't surprise me if other parties did it, but i have no evidence of it. All these acts should be equally condemned, not excuses being made for it, or shrugging it off.

The Green Party would never do such a thing....

This is what happens when partisan hacks can't set aside their politics and use their brain.

The person should be dismissed from working at a polling station immediately.

Gee, I hate to say this but it seems she playing both sides. I wonder what she got from the Tories.

I wonder what she got from the Liberals.

I've never wondered about anything Dona Cadman has said ever...
