Going to miss Her Majesty, but this is a good looking bill. The nod to Vimy is 👌.
Introducing the new $20 bill, with its advanced and dynamic security features. You’ll start seeing this $20 bill in circulation early next year! Learn more: bit.ly/4ygIUkO #vertical20

2/2 Not sure providing no names or background screams "new level of political transparency" for the "Moderate Conservatives."

Email was sent to all MPs and a series of major news outlets. No independents from what I can see.

Who would you rather have negotiating with Iran--President Obama or Toronto Mayor Ford? My money is on Ford.

Y'all ain't gonna like this post, but there's truth here. I personally know a few MPs who are worried. The by-elections are key.

Rumour had it when the House rose several CPC MPs planned to resign over the summer. Some from seats we have held for a while, like Brantford—Brant South—Six Nations (Brock's riding). If we lose that - and some similar ones - there could be internal questions. We'll win Wagantall's in Sask easily. We aren't expected to win Chicoutimi or ones not presently held by us. But if we start losing Ontario and Western ones we do hold, then that's when knives may come out.

Where did the Liberals prioritize spending in 2025? Helping struggling seniors making up to $93,000. Elbows up!
Thanks for the shout out Jacob! Nice to see someone interested in our plan to reform federal spending on Old Age Security. $17 billion/year is going to households with incomes $100K+ That could go a long way toward addressing affordability. Here is JUST THE GROWTH in spending:

Sadly, this is the case. 1st world country. One bridge connecting it all.
“Nice bridge– be a shame if anything happened to it.” If the bridge over the river at Nipigon, Ontario, is blocked, there is no other road in the country joining Eastern Canada to the Western half. One bridge.

CN tracks do go north of Lake Nipigon. But the point remains sadly correct.

Put this way you can really see the generational unfairness.
Replying to @MikePMoffatt
And let's look at that OAS clawback. OAS doesn't get clawed back until *individual* income exceeds $93,000. Meanwhile, child benefit cheques start to get clawed back when *family* incomes reach $39,000.

Not really opposed to any of these things in general. But for me, a balanced budget & tax relief comes before any of this.
Canada needs to focus on National Grandeur: -Nuclear power -Defence-industrial base -High speed rail -Urban beautification & walkability -A proper PM’s Residence -Control of our resources -National Parks -Media & art -Global leadership -R&D and IP -National Champions

Gold.
A Muslim passenger: "Excuse me, would you turn off the music?" The driver: "Why?" The passenger: "Music is haram." The driver: "Why is music haram?" The passenger: "Because there was no music in the time of prophet Muhammad." The driver: "Well, get off then. There were no cars back then either. A camel will come pick you up." 😂🤭😂
