Canadian politics, vexillology, history, geography. Favourite X account of the Governor General's Office.

@IvisonJ I look at it as though these two are doing a service to make their colleagues want to be better. They aren't yet. But at least they're aware how bad they are.

[HoCStaffer @HoCStaffer]

Hahahaha. Jensen Huang joins The Office. Gotta think he both loves & hates the AI videos of him right now.

I'd like to congratulate @ScottAAitchison on his appointment as Muskoka District Chair. He has been a dedicated & hard-working MP who believes in a big tent CPC.

NEW: Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti on Steven Del Duca's appointment by Premier Doug Ford:

“When the premier said the President of the United States could kiss a certain part of his anatomy, he forgot to say that he’d have to push Steven Del Duca out of the way”

@PoliticsOttawa @hollyanndoan @OurCommons And, just to be clear, West Block has the Parliamentary Dining Room AND a cafeteria.

[HoCStaffer @HoCStaffer]

The current temporary (8 years so far and 8+ to go) Parliamentary Dining Room in West Block looks like a downgrade from an Air Canada Lounge. Zero charm or prestige.

The one in Centre Block is incredible. It's like a historic private 5-star resto. Definitely special for anyone who has been.

The four HoC Cafeterias ranked best to worst by building:

Wellington
Confederation (mostly for view)
West Block
Justice

@StormShadow204 My "faves" are the teachers and similar who should know better and respond respond with a snarly "Yes, I know, I accidentally emailed your office." 🙄

[HoCStaffer @HoCStaffer]

The constituent who emails complaining about something that has the name of the province in its title is extra special.

Not a woke fan. But I am a The Office fan. So this is also great.

Not a huge classical fan. Nor am I an electronic fan. But this is impressive.

I am out downtown tonight. Oh my, you should see the Liberals, Lobbyists, & Media out celebrating together. $765B in new debt sure buys a lot of drinks.

[HoCStaffer @HoCStaffer]

Great idea to incorporate into the design.

They are going to build this arena on the hidden old Carling O’Keefe Beer Storage tunnel. Hope they make it into a cool underground pub...

[HoCStaffer @HoCStaffer]

I wouldn't say "abolish." But certainly taxpayers shouldn't be subsidizing some/all the lower ones to the same degree - if at all.

[Flat Ranger - UT @UtahFlatRanger]

Abolish every degree field below this line.

Hope that never happens... 🧐

There was a time when Haiti & El Salvador were last & second last in multiple indexes, including safety.

One has been fixed. The other got worse. Never expected a Salvadorian operation in Haiti. But if anyone can put down rabid gangs, it's El Salvador's security forces. ¡Vamos!

[Nayib Bukele @nayibbukele]

Muchos mensajes, análisis y comentarios como este, asegurando que las pandillas de Haití no son como las de El Salvador; que son sanguinarias, que están fuertemente armadas, que nadie ha podido vencerlas, que todas las misiones han fracasado, que estamos cayendo en una trampa, que no sabemos a lo que nos enfrentamos, que será nuestra ruina, que vamos camino a nuestro Waterloo.

Pero cuando Dios nos conceda la victoria, los mismos que hoy dicen todo eso cambiarán su discurso. Dirán que siempre fue fácil, que cualquiera podía hacerlo, que las pandillas de Haití no eran tan peligrosas como se pensaba.

En fin, nunca los hemos escuchado y no vamos a empezar ahora.

Todos los que se han enlistado son creyentes y hemos encomendado esta misión a Dios, mientras que las pandillas de Haití son satánicas y es de conocimiento público que hacen sacrificios humanos.

Dios nos concederá la victoria. El Creador del Universo está con nosotros.

Deuteronomio 28:7
“Jehová derrotará a tus enemigos que se levantaren contra ti; por un camino saldrán contra ti, y por siete caminos huirán de delante de ti”.

This announcement took place in West Block right around when Question Period was starting, just footsteps from the Chamber.

The PM could have stopped in to take a few questions if he so desired.

[Mackenzie Gray @Gray_Mackenzie]

The PM and Premier Ford are announcing they’re spending $9B #cdnpoli

-$1 B on infrastructure for the Ring of Fire
- $5 B+ on steel mills in Hamilton and Sault Ste. Marie to upgrade machinery and manufacture more products to meet domestic and non-U.S. markets.
- $2.5 B for the auto sector to help build more EV’s

[HoCStaffer @HoCStaffer]

Think we'll get our money back?

The PQ does not have a mandate for a referendum with a minority.

Which is good, because federal Liberals don't need carte blanche to launch Sponsorship Scandal 2.0. They're spending enough already.

[HoCStaffer @HoCStaffer]

Big merci to @E_Duhaime & the @PconservateurQc for taking enough battleground ridings from the PQ, thereby denying the separatists a majority.

[HoCStaffer @HoCStaffer]

@RyanWarIsGood Any party promising a referendum is about separatists.

[HoCStaffer @HoCStaffer]
