Or that little spot near Kirkland Lakey with the same name as the main bit of Nazi (as well as Sanskrit) heraldry. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika,_Ontario

Old poster from an Italian far-right-of-centre nationalist party (still exists, just under a slightly different name): "They suffered from immigration. Now they live on reserves. Think about it." Brought to you by the same party info-machine as this one -- polenta's a traditional northern...

Welcome to northern Ontario about 20+ years ago - the way of the world.

Good example! In fact, during the last Ontario election campaign, people were commenting that platforms aren’t even really needed, so there is more than one way to see some wanna and should stuff not quite make it onto the “mission accomplished “ list. They all have to be watched pretty much...

Yup - but I remember a rule from the series "Yes, Minister" where someone wanting to be the leader of a party starts off by saying s/he has no interest in seeking the leadership. Maybe the reverse is in play here? Then again, I also agree with some who say the two team coaches hate each other...

Only the broadest of strokes, and no real surprises, but the yet-to-fully-sprout bud of a campaign platform from Team Blue, via fundraising email yesterday ....

Majority of Canadians who voted =/= "Canadians at large", especially when about 1/3 of those who could vote in those elections didn't. Also, that sorta blows the "a real majority of Canadians didn't even vote for him" argument out of the water, doesn't it? ;) Meanwhile, Canadian Press overview...

Posting this here since it affects all party leaders, not just one -- re: one indicator of election readiness, the latest figures from Elections Canada (quarterly contributions reporting by party, January to March 2024): Team Blue: $10.9 million Team Red: $3.2 million Team Orange: $1.4...

There’s still a morning show out of TBay - for now - but yeah, most of the 705/807 news is outta Sudbury. Unlike in the old days when national news services would do stories on people losing fingers in snowblowers here :)

And is everyone's entire reality (or a reasonable sample thereof) being represented and portrayed? Judging by coverage of my home town (Thunder Bay) on CBC national media, I suspect there's far more nuance to the realities being faced in other cities/towns in Canada I hear stories about that we...

True dat. For now, yes - so I hope he does better than other PM's in the past in answering questions in the House. Like those who predicted PMJT's performance/behaviour based on past events/behaviours, those more cynical than me might go with the motto of Canada's Army Cadets: "Acer Acerpori"...
