@JakeLandauTO The term in Canada is ‘barrister/solicitor’ as the case may be, or ‘lawyer’ more generally. ‘Attorney’ for a lawyer in private practice is an American term not used in the legal system in Canada.

Wait a minute. You were a scrutineer at the credentials table today in a race Nate was running in, while at the same time you're the attorney representing Quito Maggi in his lawsuit against Nate?
Jason Cherniak@Cherniak
I was a scrutineer for the credentials table. If a person could not prove their residence, they were not allowed to vote. Some people expected to support my candidate were denied and some expected to support Nate were denied. A person alleging irregularities had better have real evidence. #onpoli

@mrwstandy @9Kings1910 The Crown of Canada became sovereign and independent of the UK with the Statute of Westminster 1931. Patriation of the Constitution in 1982 did not effect any changes on the Crown in Canada.
English
@9Kings1910 I'd avoid the subhuman comment, but it is very frustrating.
Every single one of my fathers was born a subject of the English/British crown since 1066, yet because I was born after 82 I am the first in my line to not.
English
I’m sorry if I’ve alienated any relatively moderate monarchists. It’s just getting increasingly unbearable for me that so many vermin who don’t deserve it were born in the United Kingdom and I wasn’t. I don’t like my life very much & I want to take out all my rage on republicans.

@mrwstandy @9Kings1910 I was thinking about David Warren the other day. I spent a night drinking with him in the early’90s in Halifax, and subsequently watched a Leafs playoffs run at The Idler pub on Davenport Ave. He had a handsome limestone house in Kingston, near the Princess of Wales Own Regiment.
English
@9Kings1910 It's different though.
I shared this a few weeks ago and more or less sums up my position:

Woah.
A CPC MP is directly calling out Caroline Elliot for importing Liberal insiders and lobbyists into her campaign.
I did not expect that.
Todd Doherty@ToddDohertyMP
Today I released a letter raising serious concerns about Liberal insiders and lobbyists operating inside the BC Conservative leadership race. Conservatives in BC deserve a leader who will unite the movement — not empower the same people who worked to defeat Conservatives federally. British Columbians are counting on us to get this right. #bcpoli #BCConservatives #cdnpoli

@GrenadaLoyalist @Dr_W_E_Bulmer @SimonHarrisMBD It’s so curious as it’s not like this at all in Canada. Provincial elections are not remotely a plebiscite on national parties, and local elections don’t even feature political parties.
English
@Dr_W_E_Bulmer @SimonHarrisMBD The curse of second-order elections. Simple reality is most people don’t view local elections as a question over who should lead locally, but rather as a symbolic referendum on the incumbent government. This is an incredibly hard thing to counter

All over England today, hundreds of new councillors with remits that cover potholes, bins and adult social care are going to be meeting to figure out how to stop the boats.

@TimDyck10 @Tablesalt13 Constitutional realities and long-established practices are not fantasies.
Monarchy predates the nation-state and is inherently multirealm.
Canada evolved gently from Britain, and we remain inherently British in terms of our constitution and culture.

@RedCrow1534 @Tablesalt13 He wasn’t born in Canada and has never lived in Canada. Wake up and start paying attention to reality instead of your fantasies.

BREAKING: King Charles has accepted Mark Carney's recommendation to make Louise Arbour the new Governor General of Canada.
..but Canada is totally sovereign, though.

@BraydenBoulan @FrancisMCa6587 @Bt2Dr4 @wyatt_claypool Sometimes it feels that the CPC under PP is no more than voters who dislike the Liberals, there is little ideological commonality.

The pathetic whisper campaign has begun.
The Red Tories and “cultural conservatives” are going to try and knife Pierre in favour of a politician who will pretend to be a hardcore conservative but is just another Doug Ford or “true blue” Erin O’Toole.
Wyatt Claypool@wyatt_claypool
The “Cultural Conservative” campaign to try and replace Pierre Poilievre is going to get underway this summer and fall. “Cultural Conservative” is the new labelling of the Red Tories because they aren’t fiscal conservatives, social conservatives, or freedom conservatives.
English
English
@wyatt_claypool The Mulroneys are about as far from being Red Tory as it’s possible for Tories to be.
English
And this article is talking about Mark Mulroney apparently being the “buzz”
English
@wyatt_claypool Is that why they met with Pierre Poilievre two days ago, to give him notice?
Without Diminishment@WDiminishment
Today in Ottawa, the editors of Without Diminishment were pleased to be hosted at the House of Commons and to share their vision of conservative cultural renewal with MPs, staff, and the Leader of the Official Opposition.

I went home recently to write about Alberta’s separatists. What I found was a movement dangerously, wildly disconnected from what is real.

@cbrew86836 @TristinHopper Americans trying to school others on the evils of slavery is preposterous. It was relatively limited in Canada compared to the US. Upper Canada enacted legislation to abolish slavery in 1793, and it was abolished throughout the Empire in 1834. Remind us what happened in America?
English
@TristinHopper Why is that? .... oh i forget, Canadians are fucking dumb and don't know their own history.
"Slavery in Canada includes enslavement practised both by the First Nations until the latter half of the 19th century, and by colonists during the period of European colonization"
English
You probably shouldn't bring up the word "slave" in a discussion of the relative merits of the U.S. vs Canadian origin story.
Cbrew@cbrew86836
@schoowoo @TristinHopper it's your exact post. Canadians were slaves to a King. You were subjects of the British Crown and you just accepted that and waited to be freed and you are here bragging about the fact that your ancestors remained slaves until the British decided to let you become a nation.
English
@cbrew86836 @JerryBones8 @schoowoo @TristinHopper Canada was founded by French habitants and by American Loyalists who fled the tyrannies and excesses of the American Revolution. They chose what became known as Peace, Order & Good Government, and were self governing by 1841. Being British was a source of pride not subjugation.
English
@JerryBones8 @schoowoo @TristinHopper indeed wtf? Canadians don't know history?
The US declared independence in 1776 - you not only didn't establish independence you fought the US with Britain in 1812, then you remained subjects of the crown... you didn't even gain self-governance until 1867. You were subjects.
English
As a Canadian, I have an extremely jingoistic view of both Irish and American history. In that I think they were both silly for getting a bunch of people killed for independence when we did it for free.
English
@cbrew86836 @schoowoo @TristinHopper Lol, Canadians were never slaves, and indeed rejected the American Revolution multiple times. You are clearly uneducated in history, and just rely on nationalistic myths appropriate for the simple minds of small children.

English
@cbrew86836 @schoowoo @TristinHopper Canada was never enslaved by a foreign power, and nor was America. Even the most myopic American mythology doesn’t posit that American colonials were enslaved by Britain; they were freeborn British subjects fighting for British liberty (see John Adams & Thomas Jefferson).
English
@schoowoo @TristinHopper are you fucking for real?
Most people at minimum feign bravery and declare they would not live in bondage. You're literally telling me you'd be cool if you were enslaved by a foreign power... as long as you know.. maybe eventually they'll decide to set you free. lol
English
@cbrew86836 @TristinHopper Canada joined the fight for freedom in WWI & WWII right from the getgo and most enthusiastically, whereas you isolationist and reluctant Yanks took an awfully long time to join us and the rest of the free world. So who is it again that doesn’t think freedom is worth fighting for?
English
@TristinHopper oh no... a person who lives in a Country most famous for .... ... hockey? ... Maple Syrup? ... doesn't think Freedom is worth fighting for.
Whatever shall the world do?

I’d really like people to stop using the word “term” in reference to federal or provincial mandates. It’s an Americanism that doesn’t apply well to a Westminster system.
Sacha Forstner 🇺🇦@sachaforstner
Finally, a quick footnote on the GG’s “term” in office. The GG serves “at the pleasure of the King,” meaning she can be replaced at the King’s discretion (normally on the PM’s advice). It is customary, in recent times, for the GG to serve for at least five years.
