    Rishi Sunak's United Kingdom

    It appears the fat lady is walking onto the stage... Mods can we change the title to Keir Starmers United Kingdom?

    The seemingly terminal decline of Tim Hortons

    They look too much like turds for my liking. I'm more of a dutchie fan.

    Canada and the World

    Fait point. Truthfully, we need something with more bite than what is on order. I would have preferred a dreadnought vs a pool toy.

    It would have been better to name one the Don because they are full of s***

    46th Canadian General Election

    Vote splitting. 800 people may have good ideas but if they all split the vote the wrong person will get in. As well, it would be chaos on election night having to count ballots and check numbers for 800 candidates. Sometimes more isn't better. 1 party on the left or right is better than 800...

    Toronto Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    All joking aside, a tunnel is the best option. If a tunnel were to be built to the Islands, you could theoretically extend the Yonge line down to Centre Island as part of a branch line. No.. I was not smoking crack when I came up with that idea.

    2024 United States presidential election

    Honestly, it is not worth watching. The way their system works the President has very limited power other than executive orders and control over the military. Congress and the Senate in the US are so corrupt that nothing gets done unless there is a major crisis like they had with 9/11. The...

    46th Canadian General Election

    As a card carrying NDP member since 2006 I'd much rather see Jagmeet go the way of Mulcair. He adds nothing of value to the party although there is nobody who can take his place.

    PM Justin Trudeau's Canada

    At that point we will be looking at a sizeable majority for the PCs. If I were the LPC or NDP I would be looking for prospective leadership candidates now as the next election will decimate them either way.

    Toronto non-mall retail (Odds & Ends)

    My place on the Scarborough/Pickering border is $35.00 all in for a Mens Cut. That includes shampoo, conditioner and everything else. I don't get blown though.

    Rishi Sunak's United Kingdom

    Have you ever seen a politician who is 100% honest prior to an election? Politics only works when you speak out your ass to get yourself elected. You don't have to be honest, you just have to tell people what they want to hear.

    PM Justin Trudeau's Canada

    UBI. Tax cuts are great but you need if a person does not have a job that does not help them any. With the rise of AI and automation, there needs to be a UBI which can compensate for people who are unable to work due to obsolescence.

    PM Justin Trudeau's Canada

    As I said.. talking points. The LPC I grew up with, the party of Chrétien and Pearson is long gone. Now the party is scripted for the public image. They have gone from the left to the centre and no longer have progressive ideas. What they need is a return to the past. Return them to what made...

    Toronto non-mall retail (Odds & Ends)

    I'm surprised. That place is always chock full of high school students.

    PM Justin Trudeau's Canada

    Be careful what you wish for. When the pendulum swings to the right, things may not be as peachy keen as people think. All that outrage against the LPC will only lead to another Harper style situation in Ottawa. Yes life is unaffordable now but how do you expect the CPC to resolve that? They...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Same here! A few months ago, there was someone sitting in the Indian Road exit of Keele and the Emerson Avenue exits of Landsdowne regularly. As much as I like the current gates, it was so much more secure with the previous turnstiles.

    Rishi Sunak's United Kingdom

    My gut tells me that the UK Conservatives will be below 100 seats on July 5th. If Labour goes into Supermajority territory, I can see there being a push to rejoin the EU.
  18. Richard White

    PM Justin Trudeau's Canada

    The one thing I can say about the LPC is that they are all about their public image and talking points. In the 2015 Election, Bill Blair asked for questions to be submitted in advance at an all candidates meeting. They wanted to vet and approve any questions being asked before the meeting...

    PM Justin Trudeau's Canada

    As much as we would like it I don't see JT stepping down. The Liberals are stubborn and I can see then staying the course. They will claim that despite this setback they are well positioned to take on the Conservatives based on their record.
