If BC goes to the Conservatives it will send a bigger message than most think to the Federal Party.

J'ai personnellement pris la plume pour demander à la lieutenante-gouverneure de s'abstenir de participer à la cérémonie d’assermentation du nouveau conseil des ministres. Dans cette lettre, j'ai réitéré la position que j’ai soumise aux électeurs lors de la campagne électorale à l’égard de la monarchie britannique, à savoir que nous avons la ferme intention d’abolir sa présence au Québec, tant dans nos institutions démocratiques que dans notre société civile. Nous considérons évidemment que la légitimité des actions politiques et gouvernementales relève de la volonté démocratiquement exprimée par le peuple du Québec et non pas de la permission que pourrait nous octroyer un souverain étranger. Pour cette occasion, c’est donc le secrétaire général du gouvernement du Québec qui fera en sorte que les ministres puissent prêter serment envers le peuple du Québec. La lieutenante-gouverneure nous confirme qu’elle suivra la cérémonie à la télévision depuis son bureau et qu’elle sera en mesure de signer les documents au fur et à mesure qu’ils lui seront transmis. Les ministres pourront ainsi débuter leur travail dès demain, ce qui demeure essentiel dans un contexte où les mandats qui leur seront confiés exigeront un effort immédiat. Les institutions que sont la gouverneure générale et les lieutenants-gouverneurs coûtent 60 millions de dollars aux contribuables du Canada. Je m'engage à rediriger les sommes que nous pouvons récupérer au Québec dans ce symbole archaïque de la domination coloniale britannique vers les besoins en itinérance.

Today is my Dads birthday. He passed during Covid and I couldn’t get home to Newfoundland bc of restrictions in place. I’ll never forgive those who did so much damage to so many. Ever.

I’m more interested in the results from the other questions from last nights referendum. These are going to have much bigger impact imo.

Reagan - one of a kind.
Bob Hope's NBC contract made him more money than most Hollywood studios were paying their entire rosters. John Wayne had been the #1 box office draw in America for 25 consecutive years. Dean Martin was selling out every casino on the Las Vegas Strip. Combined, the four men in that room were worth over $600 million. Ronald Reagan was Governor of California and already had his eye on something much bigger than Sacramento. In 1970, all four of them ended up in the same room. In the video below, Reagan reveals he vetoed a bill the California legislature passed in Bob Hope's honor - then told Hope about it to his face. Reagan walked out as governor and immediately started making jokes about moving boxes. The crowd already knew what he meant. He wasn't being subtle. Everyone in that room understood that Sacramento was just a stop on a much longer road. He told the audience Hope had entertained over 10 million troops. Been seen by 100 million TV viewers. Built a career that spanned vaudeville, radio, film, and television without missing a single era. Then he said if you threw in the 27 people who'd actually seen his movies, you had yourself a pretty sizable voting constituency. Then Reagan paused. He told Hope the California state legislature had unanimously passed a bill naming him the state's foremost citizen. He vetoed it. The room lost it. Then came John Wayne. Calling in live from Bend, Oregon, mid-shoot on the True Grit sequel with Katharine Hepburn. He got 15 seconds into his tribute before catching himself - he'd just read out the full movie title, the co-star, the director, and the production company on live television. "Wayne, did I do that?" he asked Dean Martin. "Perfect, pal." Four men at the absolute peak of Hollywood and American politics, in one room, genuinely cracking each other up. You don't see rooms like that anymore.

Took a few minutes ago. Easy to see you can ride walk or drive and shouldn’t be either or. Good job @cityburlington @MariannMeedWard - more of this please. Road it pretty much all the way from Maple to Cumberland which is pretty much several kms.

This is tremendous news for America's children. An entire generation will grow up as SpaceX owners. Well done @elonmusk! 🇺🇸
Next year, I will give one of my SpaceX shares to every kid in America. This will be the first of many.

It’s true, yellow packaging is back. It’s also true, that’s not enough. Consider this a sign of change to come.
