It is disingenuous for @DevineSean to claim victimhood of 'an organized push from outside to unseat him', while Jeff Leiper's shadow party is doing precisely that for him
During an election, people will challenge your position/ record. That's the point

@TorontoPearson: what’s with the out of service train shuttle between terminals? A shuttle bus with a 20 min wait?
Precisely why our PM is keen to have the private sector manage matters.

He didn't want a room full of crying people, so he pulled off the ultimate funeral prank.
In October 2019, Shay Bradley, a 62-year-old Irish Defence Force veteran, loving father, and grandfather, was battling a long-term illness and knew his time was short. He and his son secretly recorded a hilarious audio track. As his coffin was lowered into the ground in South County Dublin, Ireland, a hidden speaker suddenly started playing the recording.

Got a piece in Monday’s @TheHillTimes on the shortcomings of the officer class in this new defence world.
tl;dr If you don’t get on board with winning the trade war, there won’t be any other kind of war to fight.

Extraordinary response to @MarkCarney speech in European Parliament. Standing ovation from almost all MEPs and huge applause in public gallery. A new world order really is being shaped and it is not how Trump’s USA imagined. It used to be taken as read that the US President led the free world. No more. UK really needs to get fully on board with the big changes taking place. I hope this was discussed at the football last night!! Meanwhile both in our interview with @Ed_Miliband and latest @RestIsPolitics the Carney worldview is on the agenda.

Former Canada Prime Minister Jean Chrétien: "I have message for American friends...never mistake our generosity for weakness. Never mistake our tolerance for lack of determination. And never, never mistake our kindness for softness...We bow to no one."

Jean Chrétien: "It looks like they don't know what to do. When your big thing is to change the name of a lake, it's because you're running out of arguments. It is a very weak gesture, to be cheap and nasty. Lake Ontario is not suffering. It's a lake."
