@ChnRstrntKng @BarstoolChief They have the space to overpay for some pieces because all of their core pieces are huge bargains.

@philzfactz Honestly thought he played great until overtime. Don’t know why he forgot how icing worked by the end of the game.

@johnpastor22 @JJ_McCullough Carney is not left-wing. The Liberal Party of Canada has never been clearly left-wing. They’re a party that has flipped back and forth between the centre-left and the centre-right since it was created, going with whatever the national mood seems to be.

@NorthrnPrspectv Ok

@KatlynHarrison @MichelleRempel Mix in an election win once a decade or so and maybe this argument makes sense. Hard to say the Liberals are the only problem when they’ve managed to win four elections in a row.

@MelissaLantsman CBC has reported on anonymous Conservative caucus dissen MANY times since Poilievre became leader and not once did they name names.

You want to be able to blantantly lie about whatever you want and have the press say nothing about it. That’s your standard of objectivity.

The abominable treatment of civilians aboard the flotilla, including that which is documented in footage shared by Itamar Ben-Gvir, is unacceptable.

Canada’s Minister of Foreign Affairs has directed officials to summon the Israeli ambassador to demand assurances regarding the safety and security of Canadians involved.

Canada has already imposed strict sanctions on Mr. Ben-Gvir, including asset freezes and a travel ban, in response to his repeated incitement of violence. The protection of civilians and respect for human dignity must be upheld everywhere, at all times.

@HabsOnReddit Feeling pretty serene about it tbh. Whatever happens tonight, this season has already been a massive success and a huge step forward from last year.

Mélanie Richer: "[Pierre Poilievre] talks a lot about 'Ottawa elites' and I don't know who is more 'Ottawa elite' than somebody who's been elected since -- how many years is it? 22 years?"
