Progressives blaming Eby’s defeat in the election timing are totally missing the point. The whole purpose of the early election was to try to overcome the government’s unpopularity rooted in its poor outcomes.
The real problem was the cumulative cost of Eby’s ideological agenda. His government was the last holdout of the failures of Trudeauian progressivism: a subordination of economic growth in favour of deficit financed welfare spending, a dogmatic commitment to climate change and its anti-development effects, excessive identity politics and an overly self critical posture towards Canadian history, and its radical experiment with the harm reduction model.
Election timing and campaign choices didn’t defeat the Eby government. A broad cross-section of British Columbians—from rural parts of the province to downtown Vancouver—rejected it based on the self-evident failure of its ideas.
The habs overachieved last year. No arguments please.
They were however top 6 in a league of 32 teams.
Given the avg age we can assume there will be improvements just bcuz people learn stuff. Thats a fact.
How about we take a team that was very good and give it a few games.

Bruce hates when his brain dead, sycophants pleasing schemes come crashing down in reality. – at Winnipeg, Manitoba
Bruce saw a 6’8” former NBA player apply the progressive self-ID framework and declare for the WNBA. His full response: “Another loser.”
Royce White is simply testing the claim that identity overrides sex. A man with male skeletal structure, strength, and athletic history says the required words and demands entry. Arthur has no counter on the irreversible advantages of male puberty, no engagement with performance gaps, and no acknowledgment that 70%+ of the public rejects biological males in women’s sports. Just the label. When your ideology requires treating sex as optional, the only move left is to call the person exposing the absurdity a loser.

Markham I know you can’t think about anything but Trump but the world is bigger than Canada and USA
The main argument I make is that using oil as leverage, as a weapon, would be very deleterious to Canada’s efforts to position ourselves as a reliable, trustworthy supplier of oil and find new markets where security of supply is now at a premium. That is the long game.
But you also don’t explain how weaponizing our oil would benefit Canada in trade negotiations with USA, other than it would allow us to inflict some short term pain and that may be briefly emotionally satisfying for some people. How would our interests be served by that, specifically?
Right now the country is reaping many rewards from our robust oil trade and the concomitant revenues, investment and FX. Why cut off our nose to spite our face?
Hows does the habs salary structure get bent with next signing?

The context and timing is that the feds rejected GNL in *February 2022* as Russia was moving troops to the Ukraine border.
And then told the German Chancellor in August 2022 we had nothing for them as they were scouring the globe for non-Russian natural gas supply. The context and timing is the very worst thing about that episode. A stain.

Oxford University researchers have discovered the densest element yet known to science...
The new element, Governmentium (symbol=Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.
These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called pillocks.
Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert.
However, it can be detected because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact.
A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete.
Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2 to 6 years.
It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganisation in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.
In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganisation will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.
This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration.
This hypothetical quantity is referred to as a critical morass.
When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium (symbol=Ad), an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium, since it has half as many pillocks but twice as many morons.

Here is what the Liberals said in 2024 about stopping Iran’s nuclear capability and Pierre Poilievre’s support for doing so.
October 9, 2024
OTTAWA — Federal Liberals and New Democrats blasted Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre Wednesday, saying his statement that Israel should proactively strike Iran’s nuclear facilities is disastrous foreign policy that would contravene international law and quash hope for peace in the Middle East.
Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly told reporters Wednesday that Poilievre’s proposed pre-emptive strikes would trigger a broader war, and suggested he does not want harmony in the Middle East.

Thats what people need to hear. Just wait and watch as this gets better in the 2nd half. – at Winnipeg, Manitoba
Also, two kids in their first year playing together, learning together.
Suzuki’s first year to year 3 to year 6 is a mountain of difference.
Imagine when both of them are in year 4-5.
It’s like people want to solve problems now that will solve themselves in due time.

The line is succeeding. Three players starting to mature at the right time. If Dach can fit with Suzuki we have a team. – at Winnipeg, Manitoba
