The penny had the maple leaf.
It looks unnatural to see Canadian money without the Queen on it.
so the india govt got all shitty when trudeau quietly raised with modhri (who's party has fascit roots) about govt involvement with the killing of a Sikh activist in BC.
looks like there's fire to go with the smoke with an indictment being unsealed in the U.S about a plot to assassinate more activists including 3 on Canadian soil tying back to a govt official in india say they would make any charges "go away".

I'm still on the Stampede email list, and I got a note today about one of the acts performing at next year's event...and it's Motley Crue. 
I mean, I loved the Crue back in the day, but at the Stampede? Only way that makes sense is if they recorded a country album, which would crack me the fuck up.

Why country? I'm not familiar with them, but Stampede entertainment must surely include things not country-themed. Red Deer's Westerner Days included non-Western things some years (ie. the Irish Rovers).
I wonder if polievere actually engaged his brain before opening his mouth in this instance.

something tells me not.
He wouldn't just be ruining christmas for the liberals but for every single MP in the commons, all the staff who work the commons, the security staff, staff for the MPs etc etc.

So the Conservatives are vindictively proposing amendments to mess up people's holidays. (OK, I think Parliament gets too long of a break, but still.)
Conservative senators are bullying independent senators over the carbon tax exemption bill.
They are all just showing their true colours. If they form government, it will just be more of the same, but also worse, since they'll have more power.
I get people wanting a change, but the days of the Liberals and Conservatives being practically interchangeable are long gone. Hopefully more people realize that before the next election.
Welcome to how Alberta is now. Polievre and Smith are bosom buddies in how they think (or don't think).
I don't care if the MPs have to cancel a plan or two. They're well-paid. But Polievre's stunt is going to wreck the Christmas plans for an awful lot of support staff, from secretaries to janitors.

not really - while the legislature isn't sitting, most if not all are back in their offices doing local work (well except for our local mp who's a cretin and has useless staff (even after recently firing a number of them) who have no clue on what's federal and what's provincial).
the ontario legislature rises for the Xmas break tonight and my wife's boss will be back in the riding tomorrow though whether he'll get to spend much time on the office is to be seen. They'll close the week between Xmas and New Year and he's got a holiday booked for late january for 2 weeks but other than it will be constituent work all the way through.
So...the federal dental care programme continues to be brought into effect.
It's decades late. It's still needed. And I'm glad it's finally on its way.
The out-of-pocket costs have been dogging me ever since I aged out of my parents' work-derived medical coverage, I've never been able to hold a job long enough to get similar benefits of my own, and by this time next year, that financial-medical pain is going to finally end.
Good.

Unfortunately it doesn't look like it's going to be available to the 19 - 64 cohort until 2025. Sorry.

just in time for pierre pissant to come in and nuke it
speaking of the noxious leader of the opposition, for all then noise he makes about the carbon tax he doesn't seem to want to actual addresse the big elephant in the room - the oil sector and the way prices are maniuplated.
Gas was $1.29 in my neck of the woods this morning but I'm sure something will come alone and cause it to skyrocket.
Definitely another set of reasons to get out the "Anyone But Conservatives" vote again. Poilievre is dedicated to preserving the "right" to pollute and profiteer. And the dental care programme is one more thing for his backers to focus his performative ire upon.
It doesn't matter. Once Poliviere comes into power, and it's virtually inevitable now, whatever small gains climate or otherwise we have gained under Trudeau, performative as they may have been, will be tossed out and things will be made worse than when the Liberals came in. And then, when it's the Liberals next turn, it will be too late. Any potential fixes will be more and more painful, Cons will continue to argue against them, and they'll get more and more support vs the pain of even performative solutions.
Well, it's too late now, especially with the US side not doing enough, and soon to be doing even less with the next Republican government, but by then it will be waaaaaaaayyyyyyy too late.

Shhhh! Don't jinx us! There's still time for people to open their eyes and come to their senses.
