Tuesday is going to be a circus in NYC. I sadly expect riots.

We also have access to more information than previous generations. I'm not saying Twitter is the be all end all but its really easy to use a social media platform like it to find out all sorts of things about politicians. For example, how many supported the convoy because they posted about supporting it along with pictures and videos. How many posted about vaccines killing kids, wef conspiracies or trash about teachers showing kindergarten kids porn. Doesn't take much to find things about and form opinions from there.

PP was asked in the house to define woke. He went onto claim its a bunch of things designed to divide Canadians further along racial, religious, vaccine status lines. One thats not a definition and more importantly how much time does one need to realize that the statement is false and ignorant and yet another reason not to vote for him?

I don't particularly like Trudeau but he's better than Pollievre.

Conservatives are leading in the most recent polls but Liberals are leading in Quebec, Toronto, the GTA and Vancouver in the same polls.

Not only is she rural right but she's never had to fight hard to win her seat as it was a very safe seat.

I could see her running to replace Heather. Funniest thing is she talks about uniting the MB PCs but she was one of the people who stabbed OToole in the back and forced him out. Also having a convoy supporter as your campaign chair is a bad look. Guess it sells to your base but hurts you like hell in Winnipeg where you trail but 23 points.

There's something off about individuals who really have never had a job outside of politics and who as of April 1st will be making $194500 a year complaining about the cost of living.

I agree that the NDP needs to take an approach similar to Doer and that Wab may be holding them back. That said, when have the PCs shown ability to manage $? 7 years and no balanced budgets. Removing significant $ from the public education system without having a plan in place for a) how they will replace it and b) how education will be funded. Borrowing $ to pay for education rebates, seniors and cost of living.

Canadian schools have multiple doors and we watch the same tv and movies, listen to the same music and play the same video games. Canada does not have the same issue with school shootings. Only difference is gun axis. Of course, mention this to many americans and they'd likely deflect and call you a devil worshiping, pedo, commie sob

The league needs better marketing. Winnipeg has done very well. BC with their new owner seems to get it and they appear to be trying new things to build attendance. Edmonton too. I was watching a doc on the Vancouver Grizzlies and they talk to one of the original Raptors owners. He mentions they purposely didn't try to be the Leafs and sought out newcomers, kids and women and marketed to them. CFL needs to have that mentality.

My thought is that these republicans need to pray that God opens their eyes to how idiotic their ideas about guns are.

Back on topic, I like Korte-Moore as a DL prospect.

I like the ratio and the rules. I'd be ok with a ratio tweek or further refinement of americans counting as nationals depending on how long they have been in the league or with one team. I believe the league did this in the 60s. If you eliminated most of the Canadians and went to US rules, I'd stop watching.

No owner, no plan to build a proper stadium, no evidence of sponsorship support, lots of reasons to think Atlantic Canada isn't a good market.
