This is what I would like to think is awaiting in Heaven!😢😢😊

Rogan has answered that question. And it’s blunt but honest. Progressive politicians are welcome. They simply choose not to participate. So, ask yourself why that is? Bill Maher has expressed the same frustration for progressives being invited but refusing to appear. That speaks volumes

@Mikeggibbs shouldnt joe rogan have to open his show to a liberal politician as well, or its obviously being used as a partisan platform for far right politicians and foreign interference? which has kind of been its thing for a while? he should have to have bruce fanjoy on now🤷

So first of all, it's way too late to worry about validating Joe Rogan. That ship sailed a very long time ago. He's a major thing. He's not going away. Canada is a major topic on his show which millions of people listen to. We have to work with him whether we like it or not. The Prime Minister would be well advised to do the show at some point down the road. If you are a leader and you're a regular topic on the show you are far better off working with Joe Rogan than ignoring him or pissing on him. He can be reasonable, he's fairly open minded, if you sit down with him. He's persuadable. I respect that about him. When he's going off track and validating disinformation it is the duty of experts in the issue to reach out to him. If they don't that's a big mistake. So I'm okay with Pierre doing the show, as long as he is loyal to Canada and is careful and measured in any criticisms of the PM. That above all he approaches it as Team Canada not Team CPC bc of the trade crisis. As far I can tell, that's what Pierre did. But correct me if I'm wrong.

@ChantalHbert Whoah ! Careful Chantal as too much of this (even a one word reponse) might confuse you with a ‘Bro’ (according to those who have a natural proclivity to dismiss any efforts that run counter to a Red Team narrative)

Yep

You’re a snake. Two points: 1. At best, a poorly expressed passion for understanding the plight of out veterans, or at worst, a controversial subjective interpretation of his intent …. You should know better !! Second and most important because it reveals your character. You of all people, one that advocates for inmates, should know full well the act of associating individuals with isolated events. Perhaps some introspection, if you even have practiced the skill should be considered. Many may not agree for him receiving the recognition, maybe even me, however your petulant response needs some Self reflection because if it was said to be persuasive , you failed.

An excellent column. "And in the end, Cherry was fired for questioning the patriotism of visible immigrants." I guess Ford, Poilievre and Smith agree with all the horrible things he said. #DonCherry #cdnpoli #abpoli thestar.com/sports/nhl/why…

People are oblivious to the fact that the ‘system’ is indeed broke, has been for a long, long time …. AND …. it will collapse. Even the elites in power understand this yet cannot say a thing. The populace has benefited from a welfare state for too long (including me) and are not prepared to accept less government goodies. A fundamental flaw with a ‘Liberal Democracy’ in that those who value a sustainable system over making promise with the next gens $$$ , can never win a mandate.

@sunlorrie This isn’t “management,” it’s running up the tab and calling it progress. Double the deficits, same promises, and the bill lands on taxpayers later. That’s not leadership, that’s delay and disguise.

COLUMN: Carney Liberals 'substantially' worsening federal finances: study Combined deficits from 2025-26 to 2029-30 will total $321.7 billion, more than double the $154.4 billion projected by Trudeau torontosun.com/opinion/column… 🧵

You came up as ‘Probable Spam’. And basedon the descriptor - a zealot for a cause. Hence , too defensive. The Red Team is schizophrenic. On the one hand , a former leader describes Canada as a ‘Post National’ state. Yet the next guy is affixing this jurisdiction, among other things, as you said to its history. There most definitely is value and importance in a shared history, traditions, norms and a spirit of belonging . I’m all for it. Trouble is, the Red team needs to pick a lane. Every single element you (and others) promote, is precisely the elements the progressive wing of the Red Team denounce. It’s that evil colonialism. How to square this circle? People are dizzy fromthe Red’s and they need to pick a consistent lane.

@DBHank @Ben_oharabyrne An individual cannot be an elite, which by definition is a group. More importantly, the post above entirely misunderstands Canada’s form of government as a constitutional monarchy. In short, it’s about Canada’s history and constitution, not about the current state of the UK.

the kind of conservative voter carney can attract will like his appreciation of the monarchy (Harper govt was the most monarchy-adoring in my lifetime) and the slice of conservatives who don’t weren’t going to vote Liberal anyway, it’s also a real loser of a topic for Poilievre

@thejohnrobson Lefties are guided by ‘Emotion based thinking’. Not hyperbole. Utopian thinking , as opposed to critical thinking and strategic thinking leads predictably to systems that are unsustainable and ultimately break.

The left does not think in terms of precedents and consequences. All you need is loooooove, man. (I know, it sounds foolish, but so do their policies and so it's reasonable to assume there's a connection. Ideas have consequences... including inane ones.)

@RodKahx Your use of Churchill will frazzle your bubbles mind dude! Churchill represents colonialism on steroids to your DEI crowd. It most certainly will f**k with the proclivities of your base. Do some research, get with the game … act like an ‘ally’. Jeeeezuz!

Prime Minister Mark Carney's speech at Davos is just like Churchill's I have nothing to give but blood, toil, tears and sweat. Carney's finest hour is yet to come. Bookmark it.

@du_Manoir @RobynUrback Yep. Ya got me … no question.

@DBHank @RobynUrback I didn’t ask a question and Cherry didn’t do enough to qualify as a builder.

I think it's easy to memory-hole Don Cherry's significance in 2026. But he was a cultural giant for decades, espousing loud, unapologetic patriotism long before it was mainstream. Anyway, I'm not sure what the OoC is supposed to be if not a recognition of Canada's most significant individuals, including the flawed ones

@davidakin My money is on Ron Maclean receiving the award, however it will occur shortly after Grapes joins his beloved Rose and Blue in the hockey arena in the sky.

The irony of this post is that this clown has no idea whatsoever how his very own thinking has been shaped by values embedded in customs, traditions, stories, laws, morals, behaviours that were not in existence prior to 2 millennia. Don’t need to believe in the big man in the sky, nor his offspring. Nihilism is a beauty place Rodster! “Dominion” by Tom Holland.

@acoyne Question #1 What year did they remove the statue of Sir John A. MacDonald from Montreal? Question#2 What year did they remove the statue of Sir John A. MacDonald from Victoria? Question#3 What year did they remove the statue of Sir John A. MacDonald from Kingston?

How many citizenship questions did you have to answer?

@globeandmail @globepolitics This advertisement presented by the Globe is brought to you in whole or in part by the Federal Government of Canada. “Together, we’re building a strong, singular, homogenous progressive government”.

Opinion: Poilievre arrives late to the auto debate with a plan from 1965 dlvr.it/TRW3hx

Precisely. You just answered your own question by listing this ‘exemption’. It could be argued that Grapes, in his own way, had an impact multiple generations which influenced the game and how it was presented . That in and of itself could very easily find its way into the ‘builder’ category.

@DBHank @RobynUrback Broadcasters/media people don’t get inducted into the HHOF. The only media person inducted into the HHOF is Foster Hewitt and he’s in as a builder.

@Ben_oharabyrne Shine Mister! Congratulations

Spring is near, change is in the air. After more 4+ yrs hosting a national talk show on Corus, I’m heading back to TV news to be Global BC’s Legislative Reporter/Anchor. A privilege to join such a great team. Thanks to all who tuned in and 1000+ guests who shared their time

He may not be a worthy choice, I’ll grant you that. In fact, he isn’t even a Hockey Hall of Fame member. If anything comes of this ‘politicization’ (as is the common accusation by those who want the conversation to end), it’s this : The politicization of institutions is already in effect. Always has been, except in quiet and behind the scenes. They tend to bend to a progressive’s proclivities. This was and is by design, as those who are busy living their lives, feeding their families, and raising their kids simply have not had the interest, nor time to consider who forms the elites who sit within these institutions and how they come to their decisions. Until now. There most definitely is an awakening and common folk are now fully aware of how institutions are formed, by whom, and who occupies them. Very like minded progressives are the commonality. There’s definately an imbalance of thought which leads to one sided worldview instalments.

I don't really see what he accomplished with the military. He raised awareness about Remembrance Day but he did it by shaming immigrants. I think he did some charity work for Sick Kids? Other than that he has one singular accomplishment: he held the highest tv audience in Canada for many years. That probably makes him qualified on its own. But the negs...are pretty serious. So I lean no.

Give Cherry the Order of Canada, or don't. Who cares really... I asked before what his big accomplishments were. He wasn't successful as a player or coach. So, the Order of Canada for broadcasting? Okay, maybe? Others point to his "support for the troops" - Order of Canada for talking positively about our military and being supportive? Okay, maybe? So, what are his actual accomplishments that you feel make him worthy of the Order? I'm really fine either way, and open for discussion. Convince me.

He should stay mum. Neither @MarkJCarney nor @PierrePoilievre should have a public view that amounts to politicizing the Order of Canada.🇨🇦

He may not be a worthy choice, I’ll grant you that. In fact, he isn’t even a Hockey Hall of Fame member. Your opinion is missing one key element , the politicization of institutions has and is already a fact. Always has been, except they bend to a progressive’s proclivities. This was and is by design, as those who are busy living their lives, feeding their families, raising their kids simply have not had the interest, nor time to consider who forms the elites who sit within these institutions and how they come to their decisions.

The Conservative push for Don Cherry and the Order of Canada is a politicization of institutions, and it’s no-dummy, know-nothing, argument-starting populism, rooted in false nostalgia. In other words, it’s almost a tribute to Don. thestar.com/sports/nhl/why…

The behaviour by those in positions of influence and power is self evident to a growing plethora of common folk who have taken the time to analyze systems and human behaviour. The systems most definitely are failing and unsustainable. Many pragmatic observers fully accept this to be true. Trouble is, the elite class knows this too well also …. by cannot say it out loud. Admitting such self evident topics would literally threaten their comfortable place in society and eliminate thier power and place within it. They know this, or … it is an excellent example of cognitive dissonance on steroids. Therefore, the elites are cornered and have no other path to chart other than displaying examples of insanity … “Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results”

Quoting yourself now? That’s a neat trick. People like you in the polling industry and the media have spent eleven years manufacturing the same narrative while the country declines. When the economy shrinks, productivity stalls, and jobs disappear, the story somehow stays the same: great leadership, just bad luck. At some point the propaganda machine starts believing its own talking points. Canada doesn’t have “headwinds.” It has the consequences of a decade of bad policy that pollsters and the media helped normalize.

“He enters his second year with an incredible amount of political capital, and a lot of wind behind his back — even as, to keep that analogy, there’s incredible headwinds facing Canada,” Coletto said. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
