@RoyceKoop Perhaps, but he’s dragging down the party, and given the competition, it’s worth considering a plan B.

Rare that I disagree with Lydia. Pierre Poilievre elected 144 MPs in the last election. Since then, three have left, and a vanishingly small number are willing to give critical interviews to the media. Even those interviews are always anonymous. Switching parties is obviously not good. But I am asking Conservatives to keep this in perspective. Here are the facts: - More than 8 million Canadians voted for Pierre in the last election. He boosted the party's popular vote by almost 8 percent. - 87.4% of members recently supported him as leader. That's higher than Harper received ... right before he won and became prime minister. - He still has very strong support from his caucus. Even if there are some disagreements, there is no realistic situation where half of them would vote to remove him as required by the Reform Act. You can focus on today’s political drama if you want, but in the bigger picture, none of this is ultimately going to matter. Pierre will lead the Conservative Party of Canada into the next election, and rightly so.

Professor Lydia Miljan on Pierre Poilievre: "He's obviously got a caucus problem ... This does feel very much like when we saw Andrew Scheer be ousted."

If you think U.S. intervention in Venezuela is only about oil—watch this. I recorded this video about a month ago…

@Martyupnorth_2 I’ve been married for 33 years, yet my husband and I have never felt compelled to create a joint social media account. I guess we just won’t last.

@cbcwatcher That didn’t age well. He brought back Miller. Not sure why he doesn’t want fresh faces around the table.

Lydia Miljan on who might replace Guilbeault "He could also maybe shuffle someone around, maybe like someone like Melanie Joly, who also is a really strong campaigner in Quebec." "So my money right now is on somebody being elevated from the back bench." "So I think that in the long run he's better off getting rid of more actually these Trudeau era cabinet appointees like." "So right now the Liberals don't need to be courting the left." "But when we're struggling with food insecurity, housing, people certainly start becoming much more fiscally conservative, if nothing else." @lmiljan

. @lmiljan making the right points here: 1. What inducements did the government offer d'Entremont to cross? We still don't know. 2. Floor-crossing drama simply serves to distract attention from the budget, particularly the eye-popping deficit. youtube.com/watch?v=-Zs1Ks…

@alanfryermedia Rather amusing, last time I checked CBC said there was a 41% chance of a Liberal govt, and only 27% PC. 2 hours later we have a PC majority.

@nspector4 Can you imagine *me* trying to spell "Pierre Poilievre"? Or is it Pierre Polievre? Or Pierre Poillivier?

@lmiljan @cselley Then it was a knockoff by Chinese fraudsters. They have been made at the same place since the 1700's in England.

Since the government has only said it will have a bill for the tax cuts, I'm wondering how they are going to support workers who lose their jobs because of the tariffs? Will they have to wait until the fall?

"To spend public funds, the government must request Parliament’s authorization through the review and approval of appropriation bills. To help Parliament understand and scrutinize its spending plans, the government prepares and presents main and supplementary estimates."
