If true, would be pretty amazing that a DEI CF brings CAF to its glory era. (And to be clear, I’m using DEI facetiously bc these women have fought and earned each rung of the ladder they have climbed)
I'm hearing that Major General Jamie Speiser-Blanchet is being promoted to Lieutenant General and will become Commander of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Assuming this is correct, she'd be the first female RCAF commander. She currently serves as Deputy Commander of RCAF.

Yes because Canadians are fundamentally reasonable.
I'm not a political strategist, but it seems to me that Canadian voters are less interested in delivering a verdict on the last 10 years of Liberal govt than they are in making sure the next govt is run by people who are best able to deal with whatever crap Trump throws at us.

Glenda is so cute. Lecturing about psy-ops when she has likely succumbed to foreign psychological and information operations. Elbows Up.
The “Elbows Up” is the new “We’re All In This Together” both psy-ops perpetuated on the population which is essentially psychological warfare. The fact people are succumbing to it again is mind blowing.

I don’t care that Rosie asked the Q. I don’t even care that it was framed poorly. Carney’s prickly response also didn’t bother me - tense interplay between leaders and media is part of dem discourse. But why does literally no one ask PP about the security clearance?!
The big problem with Canadian journalism right now is too many journalists are concerned about Mark Carney's assets as a private individual and not asking EVERY SINGLE DAY why Pierre Poilievre refuses to get his NSICOP top secret security clearance. So fucking stupid.

If true, damn…
Putin makes Trump wait on hold for 70 minutes before taking his call... Tells you who is in charge of this entire thing...

I will not link to any online content about this but will say that elected officials children should not be the target of political attacks.

This must absolutely be rejected as part of our partisan politics, political discourse, and political culture. Conservatives need to denounce this. 🇨🇦
I've said it before, I'll say it again. Politicians' spouses, kids should be off-limits. It's a basic rule to keep some decency in our political discourse. #cdnpoli

Going after Mark Carney’s kids is gross. Full stop.

"The language that is being used has a specific resonance, which, historically, has been used to change regime type. It is important that the rights of human beings were violated. It is important that the rule of law was ignored. It is important that the executive is trying to define reality." Full essay link in image below or profile

Clean up your info sources, folks. The “take a look at this chart”is a tell - it lacks nuance and analytical sophistication. TFP uses the guise of expertise and academic training to elevate the importance of what are basically his personal opinions. Disordered info. Look it up.
Dear 'Elbows-Up' Crowd, Take a look at this chart. Signed, TFP.

Also, he’s not an economist, political scientists, public health expert, or international security studies expert. In these areas, he has no more expertise than a well-read Canadian. Think critically about all the sources of “info” you come across these days.

The figurative #ElbowsUp applies to online agents of mis/disinformation at home or abroad. In the world of academia, TFP would not be taken seriously for his views on these topics.

Good grief. Poilievre, who has been an MP for over 7000 days, and who will be running for his 8th (EIGHTH) term in the coming election, is whining and clutching his pearls that some Liberals are running for their fourth term.

Only 6.6% of countries are full democracies. Canada is one of them. That's something to be proud of. Something worth fighting for. *Data comes from a division of The Economist. The report is interesting reading if you're worried about the state of modern politics.

Mark Carney has firmly planted himself across the socially liberal to the progressive conservative and firmly grasped the massive Canadian centre swath of voters. Bye Pierre.
