What do you mean?
Liberals to cut CBC by $192-million in 2026-27 - The Hill Times
This year’s estimates include $1.38-billion in funding for the CBC, representing a marked decrease from the $1.58-billion allotted to the public broadcaster during the 2025-26 fiscal year.

Also not to mention that the Conservatives under PP have been running an attack campaign that is currently being waged against the Carney government which was started against Trudeau after PP became leader with the help of Jeff Ballingall’s company. Same guy who runs Ontario and Canada proud pages online.

...I always had the uncomfortable thought that if Harris had of won, that we may ended up with PP instead. And the MAGA flip would of been of a Maple kind. /bleah

If you have to choose between the flipped situations, what would you rather have? It's hard to know what would've been better for Canada in the long-term. Without a trade war, the economy may have been better in the short-term.

I get that...but philosophically though, I'd rather not have to choose between two undesirable states regardless if one ends up being better than the other. What gains that would be made with one would likely be wiped out by the loss and roll back of civil liberties and freedoms and while our governance is ran by unfit moronic bigots which is something we should never have to deal with. So it shouldn't be ever a choice to begin with, IMO.
...besides, it would be rather embarrassing and undignified to our national identity if we became a joke to the rest of the world.

With the price of crude oil soaring upward, bet Alberta is happy. It helps the province's budget.

My bet is the more the US removes itself from this conflict the better luck everyone else will have of getting this straight back in to order. The dispute is better negotiated when the bully has left the room...

Sounds like a bit of lip service to somewhat quell Trump's threats against Nato.

With regards to the upcoming By-Election in Scarborough Southwest, I noticed a significant lack of NDP signage in the area. In fact, there is none.
Right now, the area is populated with Green Party and Liberal signage.
As everyone knows, I originally thought the NDP would gain a foothold here but the vibe I am getting currently is that it is safe Liberal although the Greens may snag a bit of the vote. The NDP have all but disappeared this go around.
I have gotten calls from the Green Party and visits from the LPC but complete silence from the NDP.
They have a candidate but I am wondering if this caught them off guard leaving them with a Candidate in name only.

Let's see how it goes in the courts.
Opinion: Canada’s Supreme Court is about to hear the case to end all cases
The court battle over Quebec’s Bill 21 will determine whether there should be constraints on the notwithstanding clause – and whether rights are truly protected in Canadian democracy

A good opinion piece. I find it odd that the author still argues for keeping the non-withstanding clause, but limiting it to "reasonable" use cases. The non-withstanding clause is a poison pill for the Charter. I struggle to imagine any "reasonable" cases for its use.Let's see how it goes in the courts.

It would take a very activist Court to interpret some manner of reasonableness into a piece of legislation that contains no reference to it. The entire rationale of the NWC was to exempt legislation from the 'reasonable test' of Section 1 in the first place.
