Have you ever considered that the Prime Directive is not only not ethical, but also illogical, and perhaps morally indefensible?
School boards are also very vulnerable to this kind of coordinated attack:
Low voter turnout, [Take Back Alberta leader David Parker] said, is the key to victory.
“Albertans and Canadians are apathetic and lazy. They never show up,” he said during another October 2023 speech in Calgary. “You could take over every school board in this entire province."
If you want continuous music streaming (that is, it’s not on-demand, and you’ll listen to whatever’s playing), Stingray Music (formerly Galaxie) gets the job done.
I also use CBC Listen, primarily to stream their radio stations, but they’ve got loads of podcasts and music playlists as well.
More of a set of bullet points than an actual “plan.”
Financial incentives, not penalties, to help consumers afford things like more energy efficient appliances, electric cars, and better home insulation.
Great - details, please. What kind of incentives, and at what stage of the buying process will they be applied?
Canada’s biggest emitters will contribute their fair share
Does this mean the existing carbon tax on industry will remain in place, or…something else?
Investments towards energy efficient buildings, electrified transportation, and more.
Meaninglessly vague without details.
Ensuring fairness for Canadian industries on the global stage, and better integrate with allies in the fight against climate change.
Word salad.
She did note that there are legitimate concerns about some parliamentarians potentially having problematic relationships with foreign officials, exercising poor judgment, behaving naively and perhaps displaying questionable ethics.
“But I did not see evidence of parliamentarians conspiring with foreign states against Canada,” the report concludes.
“While some conduct may be concerning, I did not see evidence of ‘traitors’ in Parliament.”
This is encouraging, but there needs to be a mechanism for these “problematic relationships” to be brought out into the public sphere (without it becoming a witch hunt).
The likely scenario is that, immediately upon Parliament resuming next month, the Liberals will immediately lose a confidence vote, triggering a snap election. The opposition parties have all stated that they will initiate a confidence vote at the earliest opportunity.
In the unlikely event that doesn’t happen, I imagine JT would remain on as PM until the mandatory election this fall. Were he to step down, he would probably appoint a sitting MP as interim PM.
As a fun(?) aside, Canada has had two PMs who served while members of the (unelected) Senate, and MacKenzie King and John Turner both briefly governed without a ministerial seat.
I’ve seen a few episodes here and there. It’s charming, and doesn’t take itself too seriously (or, honestly, very seriously at all).
