Pierre Poilievre is picking a fight he can't win The Conservative Party of Canada is apparently spoiling for a fight over who is more trusted on economics with the only prime minister to ever serve as governor of two different central banks. Good lu...

Pierre Poilievre keeps trying to challenge Mark Carney on his economic credentials.

Of all the dumb fights Pierre Poilievre has picked over the course of his career, this might be the dumbest one yet. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/04/20/o...

After promising on the weekend to sue The Atlantic for defamation, Kash Patel decides this morning he's too hung over to call his lawyers.

It's jealousy. We ALL want our own private jet to go to Wawa.

Brian Lilley always just GETS it.

Behind Trump’s Public Bravado on the War, He Grapples With His Own Fears The president’s impulsive style has never been tested in a sustained military conflict, and he’s been ruminating on Jimmy Carter’s failure in Iran.

"Some of the president’s advisers were caught off guard that tanker traffic would grind to a halt so quickly after the bombing began...

"Trump has since marveled at the ease with which the strait was closed..."

Banning algorithmic pricing ought to be a no-brainer call for any government: people don’t like to be ripped off, surveilled, or treated differently from their peers.

Algorithm pricing does all three of those things.

I’ve been saying for years that the feds should use their undoubted power under the Constitution to disallow noxious provincial legislation, including their use if the notwithstanding clause.
Now Mr. Coyne agrees with me.

We live in a country where the two most dynamic, charismatic, eloquent politicians of this century have the first names Barack and Zohran. This is what bothers the white supremacists so much.

Chantal Hébert: I fail to see how someone who was rejected for PM called Andrew Scheer should be the regular points person for the Conservative Party.
Bruce Anderson: It's the single worst choice that Pierre Poilievre makes every day is to have Andrew Scheer out there.

Yes

I'll take former PM Justin Trudeau at Coachella long before I'll take former PM Stephen Harper pushing RW politics via his IDU, BFF with Viktor Orbán, and sneaking around the White House.

Here’s what I’ve started to notice: every time we deploy one of these workarounds, we absorb a consequence that wasn’t ours to carry.

And every consequence we absorb is one the system never has to face.

Exactly

Hmm. While I care, somewhat, the water is so muddy I struggle to make sense of it. So I go and play guitar. Maybe do a simple ‘splainer Max. What’s available, what’s proposed. When I read about PR, I get confused

JD Vance is lecturing the Pope on Catholicism and Pierre Poilievre is lecturing Mark Carney on economics and RFK Jr is lecturing scientists about vaccines and Donald Trump is lecturing the world on tariffs and Pete Hegseth is quoting Pulp Fiction and thinking it’s the Bible

In my six months in the newspaper distribution business I learned everything I know about money things.

The political clip of the week.
The guy whose resumé is so vague we aren't sure he actually did work at Dairy Queen before becoming MP.
And slurping his drink.
Brutal.

When you feel imposter syndrome sneaking up on you, just remember that JD Vance lectured the Pope on theology.

As an atheiest ex-Catholic I am firmly on Team Pope.

Superlatives must always be challenged lol

Former TIME editor Richard Stengel: “He is repeating every foreign and domestic policy mistake the US has made over the last 5 decades, but he’s doing it with a gracelessness, cluelessness, and corruption that has no precedent.”
