In my never-ending quest to bring 'fearless,' water-surface breaking journalism to the people of the #Outaouais, I went to @GCB_Bungee to jump off a 200ft-high tower-crane.

Sound on and volume up.

@ryanjespersen And the week before the vote, the PM was on Global News.

[Jillian Piper @jillyonthehilly]

PM Carney tells Global News in an exclusive interview today that US ambassador Hoekstra is "wrong" about his claim that Canada is interfering in the US midterms

Carney also says he expects other nations, including the US, to stay out of the Alberta vote

Canada hasn’t joined the EU yet Terry.

[Terry Newman @terrynewman]

Carney grants interview with Politico Europe.

No interview with Canadian media.

[Stuart Benson @LeftHandStu]

Shout out to @ryanjespersen who got the interview with the PM the day after the referendum.

[Real Talk Ryan Jespersen @RealTalkRJ]

"I get the point about an unelected Senate."

PM Mark Carney made waves across the country when he said he's "open to Constitutional reform". Can you see it happening?

Catch the full Oct. 16 interview on the #RealTalkRJ YouTube channel & wherever you get your podcasts. #cdnpoli

@terrynewman No, I asked where the American asset managers who manage the American asset you work for are headquartered.

[Stuart Benson @LeftHandStu]

Wrong again!

@LeftHandStu It was for the Brussels Playbook Podcast.

[Stuart Benson @LeftHandStu]

@terrynewman Where’s Chatham Asset Management headquartered?

I’m not joking. This thread has like 4 tweets in a row that are just pictures of Ossoff’s butt.

[Stuart Benson @LeftHandStu]

You see @realDonaldTrump, this is how you say that you think a candidate has a nice butt without looking weird.

The Senate race between Jon Ossoff and Mike Collins gives us good material to illustrate two common problems with men's trousers, which most people miss when shopping.

Let me show you. 🧵

AJ Soprano may have single handedly undone any potential humour left in that schtick.

[Slate @Slate]

A generation of men once laughed at everything he said. His new movie is almost shockingly unfunny. https://t.co/z0Hx36BWzp

[The Hill Times @TheHillTimes]

“As a country, we have become far more aware of the threat of foreign interference, but it’s now leading to these moments of false concern, and we need to be careful not to cry ‘wolf,’” says digital misinformation researcher Aengus Bridgman.

@scottmhayward Sure but a man living on the Green Mile has only one inevitable fate.

This is technically correct as the Liberals edged out the Conservatives in quarterly fundraising in Q42021 and Q42019 but those were both during an interim leadership period.

The Liberals also had ~~7k more individual contributions from July-September, and lead the Conservatives on that front over the first nine months of the year (~105k to 102k) but the latter still has the overall dollar lead with $18.4M to the Liberals’ $16.1M

[Scott Robertson @sarobertson_]

Fred DeLorey on Liberals out fundraising Conservatives: "Stephen Harper never lost a quarter. Andrew Scheer never lost a quarter. Erin O'Toole, who was eventually forced out by caucus, never lost a quarter of fundraising."
