@jkenney @PierrePoilievre @CPC_HQ Are you drunk?

The pundits chirping about @PierrePoilievre’s leadership of the @CPC_HQ seem to forget that he just won 87% in a leadership review vote. Under his leadership a year ago, the Conservative Party won by far the largest number of votes in its history, and the highest share of popular vote since 1988. He has expanded the Conservative coalition in important ways, and has been perhaps the most effective opposition leader in modern Canadian history, driving Justin Trudeau out of office, and defining the key issues in national politics for most of his tenure. I have been critical (constructively, I hope) about some aspects of his leadership, including the admittedly difficult problem of how to deal with the destabilizing threats and uncertainty emanating from Donald Trump. But I am encouraged to see Mr. Poilievre modifying his approach to address lessons learned from the last election, e.g. his recent trips abroad, and a broader approach to communications. There is no doubt in my mind that he has the confidence of the Conservative Party, and has won the right to contest the next election. And to the small number of Conservatives who might be sceptical, I ask them how the party benefits from the constant internal strife of changing leaders? What message would it send to Canadians to have a seventh leader (including interims) since 2015? IMO the Liberal majority should be seen by Conservatives as an opportunity to: - demonstrate the maturity and discipline expected of a government in waiting; - focus on offering constructive ideas that address Canada’s deep challenges, as opposed to a perennially angry clickbait oppositional approach; - recruit talented candidates with senior private sector and government leadership experience who can help present a team that’s ready to govern; - demonstrate that Conservatives do not regard the Trump phenomenon as a distraction to be downplayed, but a serious and disruptive threat to our sovereignty and prosperity to be addressed head-on; - have the courage to lead responsibly on difficult issues, like the need for root and branch reform of the broken immigration system; promoting the duty of newcomers to integrate; reversing the woke denigration of Canada’s historically grounded identity and institutions, etc; challenging the growing abuse of judicial power in the criminal justice system, etc.; - clearly demonstrate that ours is the party of Confederation by helping to lead the fight for national unity against potential secession referenda in Alberta & Quebec. Canadians want and deserve a serious opposition that fulfils its constitutional duty to offer an alternative government. IMO, that means maintaining strong, stable, patriotic leadership that can learn from past mistakes, while building with confidence.

@SierraSpaceCo @NASA This is just a tax scheme or an actual space program attempt?

Dream Chaser has successfully completed acoustic testing at @NASA's Kennedy Space Center's Space Systems Processing Facility.   The spacecraft successfully withstood the intense vibrations produced from sound waves during a rocket launch as it prepares for its first flight to Low Earth Orbit (LEO).   Acoustic testing at NASA’s SSPF utilized an array of 90 stacked speakers to simulate sound and airborne vibrations experienced during a rocket launch.   The successful test validated the durability of Dream Chaser’s critical electronic systems and confirmed the structural integrity of the spacecraft.   Press Release: sierraspace.com/press-releases…

@Brock_Seguin Its the same baseball. "Wait....wait......wait.. nah go ahead."

This might be a hot take, but NHL coaches shouldn’t be getting tipped by video before challenging. It should be an immediate judgement call. Offside challenges weren’t meant to wipe out this many goals over plays that are a hair offside.

Ahh, the annual right of passage. Trying to crack the @MBGovParks camping reservation website.

@jamiljivani Just another wannabe. Never will be.

Stop trying to please your insincere Liberal detractors. To them, the only good Conservative is one who poses no threat to Liberal power and control. My message to Canada's conservatives movement: torontosun.com/opinion/column…

@MikeSeeley Heat shield is a lot shinier than expected.

Artemis II Crew module / service module separation. What a view!

@F1 2028 seems like a long way off to be announcing something like this, no?

Etched into the history books ✍️ Max Verstappen’s long-time race engineer GianPiero Lambiase will leave Red Bull in 2028 and move to McLaren as Chief Racing Officer #F1

Excellent. Will be telling who crashes out over this. I welcome it.

@kylegriffin1 What took so long?

Breaking MS NOW: More than 50 House Democrats are now calling for Trump's removal through impeachment or the 25th Amendment. ms.now/news/democrats…

@UnkleBott @NASA Its like apollo 8 test flight.

@NASA Why didn’t they land on the moon? What was the point of flying slightly further than Apollo 13?

LIVE: Watch with us as the Artemis II astronauts make their closest approach to the Moon, traveling farther from Earth than ever before. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@mario4thenorth Get a grip.

Carney cancels press conferences. Poilievre just did a two-hour unscripted interview on the biggest podcast in Europe. Watched by tens of millions of people. Talked about: Canada’s energy Housing The economy Trump Tariffs His personal story. No notes. No handlers. No filtered questions. One leader hides from Canadian reporters. The other sits in front of a global audience and answers everything. Huge difference. x.com/MarcNixon24/st…

Sawyer on the #NHLJets terrible play: "This is a one off."

@FaytuksNetwork Oust the orange.

NEW: Following the ousting of Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem, there are now active discussions about others leaving the administration, including FBI Director Kash Patel, Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll, and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer. - The Atlantic

Orion now having toilet difficulties. Could be a long flight! #artemis

#NHLJets are going to make the playoffs, aren't they..

@Sportsx1_ @TSN_Sports Lmaaaao.

@TSN_Sports Marner left Toronto because he didn’t like the supposed abuse and end up with Torts. 🤣 Little Mitchy will be looking for a safe space.

The Vegas Golden Knights have fired Bruce Cassidy and named John Tortorella as their new head coach. Thoughts on the move? 👀

@danielfoch $20b will not get you a moon base.

Why does it cost less to build a base on the moon than high speed rail from Toronto to Montreal

@sentdefender Epic Scam.

The Pentagon has asked the White House to approve a more than $200 billion request to Congress to fund the ongoing Iran War, according to a senior administration official, in an enormous new ask that is almost certain to run into serious resistance from Democrats and Republicans in Congress. The amount being requested would far surpass the costs of the Trump Administration’s massive airstrike campaign against Iran to date and instead seek to urgently increase production of critical weaponry expended by the U.S. Army, Air Force, and Navy in strikes against and defending from attacks by Iran, according to three other people familiar with the matter who spoke to the Washington Post.

@WeyburnSoccer @CurlingCanada I dont mind page playoff as it gives some advantage to the top round robin teams. But with the 2 divisions its kind of a mess.

It’s time to ditch the Page Playoffs System @CurlingCanada. Non elimination playoff games and unequal schedules are nonsense. Eight playoffs teams and seven elimination games please. #Brier2026
