In my never-ending quest to bring 'fearless,' water-surface breaking journalism to the people of the #Outaouais, I went to @GCB_Bungee to jump off a 200ft-high tower-crane. Sound on and volume up.

If you've ever wondered how "Xav" Trudeau sounds live, he will be performing the halftime show during the Ottawa BlackJack's home opener on May 12 at TD Place: theblackjacks.ca

Raj: “Here is what Carney has said, done, and put down in writing, and this is the plain reading of the signal that is sending to the public.” Meredith: “Naw, it’ll be fine. Just trust me Bro!”

What's at issue here is the gap between those that trust Carney to continue funding these social programs at Trudeau-era levels and those who remain skeptical. We won't know until later but skepticism of a new PM with a limited track record on social spending is not unwarranted.

Yes they expire then. They have to be re-negotiated. So you wouldn’t book any money in until you do so. That is how we usually do budgeting. Some might call it an unfunded liability but it’s also a good tactic for negotiations - as every federal govt does. (I didn’t tag you because I didn’t want to flood you with replies). Thanks for this thread.

@gill_godwin @TheresaLubowitz I’m also not presenting it as an either/or. I would probably lean more to your argument that the plan is probably not to cut the funding entirely, but Raj’s thread already has examples of those programs receiving reduced funding from what Trudeau’s government promised.

@gill_godwin @TheresaLubowitz That may be, but those reductions have to come from somewhere and when governments make cuts, it is generally on social programs and/or the public service that implements those programs.

I thought this was gonna be one of those tweets where the paraphrase takes a lot of liberties but nope, he just straight up says Trump might be the AntiChrist.

I don’t know why people think this is so far fetched. The use of dolphins by national militaries is so widespread it’s the example used on the Wikipedia.

"To give you a sign of the desperate measures [Iran is] contemplating, the Wall Street Journal reported today that they're contemplating suicide dolphins, you know, dolphins equipped with mines to try to go after U.S. ships," @ksadjadpour says. "That's not a that's not a measure which projects real strength."
