@Mikeggibbs That’s a status update, not a resolution. “No current activity” just means nothing detected right now. Show me sustained behaviour change, not a headline.

Holy sh--, Carney got it done! The India-Canada cold war, is over! The RCMP announced today that it appears India has ceased all clandestine activities against Canada. Modi delivered and kept his word. Hopefully this marks the beginning of a long new trusting prosperous friendship. "EXCLUSIVE: RCMP says no current clandestine activities in Canada linked to government of India" ctvnews.ca/politics/artic…

Tom Marazzo: How Supreme Court Chief Justice Richard Wagner dragged the Supreme Court Into Politics 'He placed himself at the centre of a serious judicial controversy when he described the Freedom Convoy in language no Chief Justice should ever use about a politically charged event that could come before the courts.' tommarazzo.substack.com/p/how-wagner-d… h/t @cbcwatcher

If @LoriIdlout robbed a bank but gave the money back after being caught, would she have no consequences? Apparently she's operating under the exclusive Liberal school of ethics. I wonder if that's the coercion used by the @liberal_party to get her to cross the floor?

#REPORT: Nunavut MP Lori Idlout, who crossed the floor from the NDP to the Liberals earlier this month, has reimbursed the House of Commons $1,700 after being caught expensing items she purchased for her office from Carvings Nunavut, her own private business.

“So why did you lose?” Joe Rogan seems baffled that Canadians had anything bad to say about Pierre Poilievre based on how sensible and effective his policies would be.

You can pretty much explain the entire legacy media response to Poilievre’s Joe Rogan appearance as a mix of envy and panic It's the same reasons they want to see X banned in Canada

We Built a Smarter World - So Why Do We Feel Less in Control? Modern life has a strange feel to it. We’ve solved problems that crushed our ancestors, yet many people feel more uncertain, not less. Go back a few centuries and life was simple in one sense: hard, but clear. You worked the land. You survived or you didn’t. Then came the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions. Food became abundant. Labour shifted. Cities grew. Wealth expanded. Life improved... dramatically. That part is undeniable. But progress didn’t just change how we live. It changed how we see ourselves. The Enlightenment gave us a powerful framework: truth exists, reason can find it, and acting on it improves human life. That idea built modern civilization. It’s why we have medicine, infrastructure, and rising living standards. Then science kept going. It began to explain not just the world... but us. At one level, we experience ourselves as agents. We choose. We judge. We act. We carry responsibility. This is the world we actually live in. It’s the foundation of law, morality, and daily life. At another level, science describes us as systems. Biology, chemistry, and physics explain behaviour in terms of cause and effect. The deeper you go, the less room there seems to be for choice, meaning, or moral responsibility. That tension unsettles people. Am I choosing, or am I being driven? Am I responsible, or just the result of prior conditions? Stoicism cuts through this confusion. It doesn’t deny science. It doesn’t pretend the world is simple. It makes a more practical move: it focuses on what remains within your control. You don’t control the entire chain of causes that shaped you. You don’t control every impulse, every external event, or every outcome. But you do control your response. You can pause. You can examine your judgement. You can decide how to act, regardless of the pressures around you. That’s enough. The Stoics weren’t concerned with building a perfect theory of the universe. They were concerned with living well inside it. Whether the world is fully determined or partly uncertain doesn’t change the immediate fact: you are still faced with choices in front of you, right now. And those choices have consequences, for you and for others. The same principle applies to leadership. Many people cling to ideas long after evidence has turned against them. Not because the evidence is unclear, but because admitting error is costly. It threatens identity, reputation, and past decisions. A Stoic approach is different. You don’t defend your past self. You correct your present course. You ask: What is true? What is within my control? What is the right action now? Then you act on that, without drama, without ego. We built a world of incredible capability through reason and discipline. Those tools still matter. But they only work if we apply them inward as well as outward. Understanding the world is one task. Governing yourself is another. The first built modern civilization. The second determines whether we can sustain it. Final point: You don’t need certainty about the nature of reality to live well. You need clarity about your next decision, and the discipline to make it properly.

Canada is becoming a global destination for space launch—right here in Nova Scotia. 🚀 This $200M investment ensures our sovereign access to space and creates good-paying jobs at home. A strategic alternative to foreign launch sites, right in our own backyard. 🇨🇦

This is pissing away more taxpayer money on a Liberal money laundering boondoggle. Canada is not going to become a "global destination for space launch". The only thing this $200 million dollars will do is line the pockets of Liberal supporters. Shall we take bets to see if Atkins Realis (SNC Lavalin) is involved? Or Brookfield?

When the govt funds pollsters, media, the result is pollsters running hundreds of polls until they get the result they paid to get; then they post the results. The Liberal funded media flood the news waves with wall to wall positive Liberal coverage while attacking no one but Pierre. If you think these numbers are true, then why isn't Carnage calling election?
