@schtev69 If the math is correct, it’s $77,000,000 per game for an event most Canadians can’t afford a ticket to or even care about.

@coreyhoganyyc Thanks for what you’re doing and your efforts to help get removed the anti-energy laws like Bill C 69, tanker ban and industrial carbon tax.

[John Petrie @jopebrooks]

I agree with you @Sidneybrewer_1, yea she is right.

[Sidney M Brewer @sidney_MBrewer_]

A CBC commentator criticized Mark Carney for appearing to blame Donald Trump for ‘all of Canada’s problems,’ adding that the Liberals might leverage U.S. uncertainty as cover for increased deficit spending.

@RobertFife Can you define what a MAGA People is?

[Scott Robertson @sarobertson_]

Robert Fife: "The red Tories for the most part except for Michael Chong have been chased out of the Conservative Party and it's become more of a right-wing party with a lot of MAGA people in it."

@globeandmail
As a subscriber, some angles as suggestions for stories.
Was GLADU and Idlout promised money into their riding to cross?

Will any of the cross overs give money back to those who donated to their campaign?

What about to the donors of the Liberals campaigns

@MarcNixon24 I wish all those in the Canadian legacy media would watch this, plus those in Ontario and Atlantic Canada.

Thanks @TSNCurling for a great job in covering curling.

@DavidStaplesYEG @CBC Also no political pundits or views west of Sault St Marie or no pundits or views east of Quebec City.

It would be interesting to see the data on boomers voting intentions geographically. With Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada having older populations, it would skew the data nationally. I believe most boomers, which I am, in AB and Sask would vote Conservative. @DavidColetto

[David Coletto 🇨🇦 @DavidColetto]

Age continues to define the electoral divide. Among those aged 18 to 29, the parties are virtually tied. Among voters 30 to 44, the Conservatives lead the Liberals by 17 points, 48 to 31. That pattern continues among voters aged 45 to 59, with the Conservatives leading 46 to 36. Among Canadians aged 60 and over, the Liberals lead by 22 – 53 to 31.

Always fun to be invited back for the Boom 101.1 Real Country Annual Turkey Drive. Another successful day with 2211 turkeys donated or $44.200 raised which will go to the Brooks Food and the Adopt a Family program. Again, we live in a caring and generous community.

@TheoMoudakis @TorontoStar The cartoon shows just how out of touch the Central Canada media understands this nation and how little they understand the importance of building national projects, which benefit Canadians from Newfoundland to BC, and helps us become less reliant on other countries.

Beating all expectations, super crowds for the Santa Claus Parade, large number of participants, and the new Christmas Tree, courtesy of the Filipino Association is something to see.

Opponents on the field, all love off of it ♥️

Cousins Ajou Ajou and Lwal Uguak share a powerful embrace.

Quellete would be my MVP #greycup

Great game. The #cfl is the best #greycup

[John Petrie @jopebrooks]

The command centre just not be making a call like that.

[Albert B 🇨🇦 @Abmhtc]

I thought automatic reviews were for very obviously missed calls, not soft borderline ones. @CFL #GreyCup

[John Petrie @jopebrooks]

That is a brutally bad call #greycup
