Eby has to be one of the clumsiest politicians I have ever observed.

Occasionally. In my experience there are some smart folk amoung the "talent".

Headline writers are often the stupidest people in journalism.

I'm still there. I use it mostly for information - there are a number of economic and geo-political accounts I follow. It's really doom scrolling I guess, but there you go. This place is lighter.

Just out of curiosity, did you give up on Threads?

It was inspiring! 😜

Cannings voices support for new federal NDP leader Retired MP Richard Cannings was happy to see the NDP rally so strongly in favour of the new leader, Avi Lewis.

My former MP, Richard Cannings, is interviewed about Avi Lewis becoming the next leader of the NDP.

Yeah, you can count on Congress.

...Contrast this to the extremely positive reaction of Premier Wab Kinew, who went up on stage to congratulate Lewis for his win. It goes without saying that Kinew is both extremely popular and the most successful NDP politician in Canada. There is a reason for that, and we just saw it here.

...making it impossible to refute it in the future, even when circumstances may change. Instead of distancing themselves, they have created a permanent line of attack from Premiers Smith and Moe.../

What is disappointing is the reaction of the leaders of the Alberta and Saskatchewan NDP. While I get that they want to distance themselves from Lewis's position on oil and gas, they've made a major political error. They have confirmed the central line of attack of their conservative opponents.../

And I love all the Liberals and Conservatives telling us we've made a big mistake. I always take my advice from them.

Braid: Under new leader Avi Lewis, federal NDP looks more communist than social democratic Avi Lewis takes the federal NDP far to the left — so far that it looks communist rather than social democratic, writes columnist Don Braid.

A quick review of who is freaked out by Avi Lewis's win tells me a lot about its significance. Corporate media first of all, starting with Don Braid (Calgary Herald) red baiting hysteria. calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu... .../2

Establishment enmity could be a good omen for the NDP’s Lewis - The Hill Times The mocking responses of the Establishment to Avi Lewis’ win belie their divorce from the realities of Canadians not in their socioeconomic class.

“The collective crash-out of the Canadian political and news media establishment over Avi Lewis’ March 29 win in the NDP leadership race is giving me life.”

He's a conservative academic. What are you these days btw, Shannon? Maybe reflect yourself. Time to relinquish the thirst for vengeance for the decision of the NDP membership to refer the "Leap Manifesto" to riding associations for further study - in 2016! Now is the time to strive for unity.

Public Cuts Funded NATO Target, News Praised It Anyway Widespread reporting on NATO spending but not of federal reductions

NEW: David Atkin at Global News reported massive and devastating funding cuts to multiple government agencies, including the CRA and Via Rail Inc. Few other outlets picked up on it. But once Canada hit the 2% GDP NATO target, big news outlets amped coverage and heaped praise on Carney. My latest:

Two guys sitting at a bar, one in a blue shirt and the other with a blue hat with the Alberta shield. One. Says "DANI SAID SHE'D BALANCE THE BUDGET, INSTEAD SHE'S PUT US IN DEBT." The other says "SHE SAID SHE'D FIX HEALTHCARE, BUT, INSTEAD, SHE'S MADE IT WORSE" First says "SHE PROMISED NO TAX INCREASES BUT, INSTEAD, INCREASED PROPERTY TAXES." Second says "SAY! HAS SHE BEEN - PLAYIN' US FOR FOOLS ALL ALONG?" First concludes "NAW, IT'S TRUDEAU'S FAULT!" Second says "EFFIN' TRUDEAU!" Bar server thinks “AND THEY WERE SO CLOSE TO JOINING THE REAL WORLD.”

They know who is to blame!

Danielle Smith's 9 referendum questions are a laser pointer for conservative cats.

I agree completely.

🇨🇦 I usually avoid speaking at partisan events but this issue is too important to turn down the opportunity. I’m joining Edmonton Strathcona MP Heather McPherson, Chief Sheldon Sunshine, and Ricardo Acuna on Sunday, February 15 for an online discussion about Alberta’s role in Canada.
