My kids are in their early 20s, and I just asked them both, and they have never had a Big Mac or any McD's burger. When they were small on drives I'd buy them a five pack of McNuggets (Dad tax = 1pc) and a small fries. That's the extent of their McD's experience. I remember this being news ten years ago.

It’s sad that anyone thought this was newsworthy. We’re obsessed with thinking that if today’s kids don’t do something we did as kids, there’s some kind of societal failure going on.

The horror! Children today have never re-spooled a cassette tape using a pencil! What is wrong with the world?!

I don't eat at McDs myself, but its a useful price comparitor which most people get.

McDs is still the second biggest chain by revenue in Canada, after Tim's, another place I don't frequent

McDonalds burgers taste like disappointment.

It was all about the fries. That's why we went to McDs in the 1970s and 80s.... until that idiot Phil Sokolof launched a national crusade against beef tallow, forcing McDonald’s to switch from frying in flavorful beef tallow to vegetable oil in 1990.
 
Chantal Hebert was on CBC's The National last night and was saying that now that Carney has a majority it makes it easier for senior Conservatives to keep the leader's seat "warm" with Poilievre still in it. Read into that however you might.

Two names that the comments seemed to swirl around: Kenney and Lecce. Kenney because he seems to be floating around trying to score cheap points on folks, and Lecce because apparently Harper met with him recently. IMO, Lecce makes more sense as a Ford replacement at the provincial level, which would then lead to the question of where Ford is going. I'm not sure if Ford wants to play the games that Harper would require of him.

He's been chairman of the IDU since 2018, the semi-shadowy group representing conservative governments around the world. It's more-or-less known that Poilievre does as Harper says, and it begs to reason that Harper still effectively controls the CPC to some degree through his position with the IDU.
