“In NBA playoff history, teams that fall behind 2-0 have an overall series record of 34-425, successfully coming back just 7.3% of the time.”
Why as a Knicks fan - do I zoom in on the 7.3%?

Chantal Hébert on PM Carney's treatment of MPs: I'm not surprised that this is happening because I have a public quote from the PM who says, "I don't want to hear what people are against, we want to hear what they're for." I believe it's a defining quote.

@338Canada Question - in a referendum like this (that leads to a second possible/more consequential vote) does a leave-inclined voter feel more encouraged to vote leave as the likelihood of it actually happening is slight? The 'send the message' without consequence voter
The Nisga'a Nation is responding to the leaked Alberta government's proposed oil pipeline routes. Essentially, no one has spoken to them from either the federal or Alberta gov'ts.

Carney is the first PM to ever cobble together a majority through floor crossing. Power was gained with backroom deals, not the ballot box. Today I introduced Bill C-278 to require MPs earn voter consent before switching parties. If your reasons are valid, defend them to voters.
Waiting to go on #powerandpolitics on CBC but the network is down!
I would blame the host but I suspect foreign interference might be the truth.

Today I introduced legislation to ban floor crossing without voter consent. When MPs switch parties after an election, they override the will of the people and erode trust. My bill restores accountability: if you want to change parties, face your constituents and let them decide.
1/3 The Supreme Court of Canada has refused to hear the Wolastoqey Nation’s appeal, affirming that Aboriginal title cannot be declared over private land. A New Brunswick judge called such a declaration the “death knell of reconciliation.” The SCC let that stand. #bcpoli#cdnpoli
Really good insights into the FIFA ticketing mess. How these guys, and sport leagues and Ticketmaster, are maxing profits by squeezing fans at each stage. How to turn the beautiful game into 'uber rich only' event.

WOW!
Today Smith tried to perpetuate her spin on what duty to consult means and how it applies...
And Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew was having NONE of it!

When Canadians sing “We stand on guard for thee” — I think Canadians mean it. And I hope that’s what we can leave this meeting committing to, as premiers, in this crucial moment for our country.
🚨WATCH:
“Sorry, I’d like to respond. So I think we know that that is not correct. A lot of what you just said there, Premier Smith.” - Manitoba Premier @WabKinew#cdnpoli@ABDanielleSmith
So grateful, and proud, of Manitoba's Premier Wab Kinew setting the facts of Alberta's referendum straight. The duty to consult is the law and affirmed by the courts. Pretending that that is somehow undemocratic or incorrect is a threat to all. #cdnpoli

As Trump posts AI videos of him assaulting Stephen Colbert, here’s what Colbert was doing:
Dancing with his wife, having fun at the Fired & Festive!” afterparty in NYC.
Adrian Dix: "It's disappointing that to internally unite the right in Alberta people will play double or nothing with the country ... sometimes the federal government makes decisions I don't like either. But I don't think Canadians believe that you should put the country at stake because of that. I think it's shocking."
