“Donations” reeks of corruption like Trump’s White House ballroom boondoggle.

I don't really see the comparison. Nothing about this screams "vanity project," down to the fact that the work won't be done until long after his time as PM is over. And the fundraising is being handled by an established charity - it's pretty tough to paint a picture of influence-peddling.

So taxpayers don't have to foot the whole bill, the Rideau Hall Foundation would run a fundraising campaign to try and cover the costs, the source said.

Annoyingly convoluted, but it should help make it less of a political football.

Good call - it looks like they've put it up on their own media relations page, but aren't (yet) reporting it as "news".

Maybe. I'd be excited if it weren't for the ongoing Israel debacle.

That's generally been my opinion, too - two great tastes that likely wouldn't taste great together.

But for the sake of arguing with myself, they were able to make the SNW/LD crossover work, and that arguably has just as much tonal whiplash, if not more, despite the shared setting.

need to get their heads out of their noughties comic books.

Now let's not say things we can't take back...

I have no idea what to do with 16 upvotes but just one comment, but screw it, let's go for it. I'll put the post up on Sunday morning.

Their skills as a writer really can't be questioned, but I don't think they really have any experience running a television show, which is a skill unto itself.

But if partnered with someone with experience in the field...well, that could be pretty special.

That ship has decidely sailed, with both franchises on the space rocks at the moment.

April Super Flo: Manufactured in Quebec, available at NAPA.

Online, we say that about everything. But maybe!

The latest information published in 2022 shows 38.8 per cent of the country adds fluoride to municipal water, with little to no fluoride in New Brunswick, Quebec, Newfoundland and Labrador, Yukon, and British Columbia.

I was absolutely floored by this.

If you're old enough, the original right-wing splinter party was the Reform Party (1987-2000).

In many cases, it looks like a funding issue - it's admittedly a pretty huge expense to be handled at the municipal level.

The various conspiracy theories are just icing on the cake.

I see what you did there.

Stay safe out there, Albertans.

It's not a great comparison, really - the Manitoba Orange Team more strongly resembles the Federal Red Team in most respects.

Winnipeg suburbs breaking NDP in a federal election is far from a sure thing.

People don't talk about it much, but a significant chunk of the NDP base (~10%, if I remember correctly) jumped to the Conservatives, not the Liberals, in the last election. Some of these numbers might be them returning?

I'm not completely opposed to hosting these mega-events, or subsidizing them to a degree. Whatever you might think about the "prestige" factor, they can be a good excuse to ram through valuable infrastructure projects.

But the devil's in the details (and FIFA in this instance is a literal devil), and it's madness to expect an actual profit.

Fuck you, Carney.

The expanded birthright citizenship rules were brought about as a result of a 2023 court ruling, very solidly in the Trudeau era.
