Canada’s federal Liberals cripple the private sector and fatten bureaucracy.
Canada added no private sector jobs from 2019 to 2024 — U.S. did the exact opposite nationalpost.com/news/canada…

"You can cancel an election and ban the winner from running (Romania), you can ban your opponents from ever running again (Hungary), you can threaten to ban the main opposition party and subject it to relentless investigations by the secret police (Germany), you can threaten a ban on the leading presidential candidate and make them wear an ankle monitor (France), every member of your circle can be investigated for corruption (Spain), you can try and cancel local elections because you will lose them (Britain), and you can storm the constitutional court with riot police because you want to control it (Poland).
You can just do all these things. The secret is you just have to be on the right side of the European Commission."

Ko smo se odločali za vstop v EU, si ni nihče predstavljal, da bo v kaki njeni članici in uniji nasploh mogoče brez posledic:
1. Razveljaviti predsedniške volitve (Romunija);
2. Ukiniti informativni program na nacionalni RTV (Madžarska);
3. Poslati policijo na Ustavno sodišče (Poljska);
4. Tri tedne pred volitvami poslati v zapor predsednika stranke, ki vodi v anketah (Slovenija);
5. Zasesti nacionalno RTV s policijo in zamenjati vodstvo (Poljska);
6. Prekiniti mandate vodstvu nacionalne RTV in izvesti čistko zaposlenih (Slovenija);
7. Poslati v zapor člane prejšnje vlade brez možnosti obrambe (Madžarska);
8. Podeliti skoraj milijon državljanstev ilegalnim migrantom po hitrem postopku (Španija);
9. Zapreti novo Nuklearno elektrarno in zgraditi plinovod do Rusije (Nemčija);
10. Obdavčiti ogljične energetske vire ob hkratnem zapiranju NE ter preseliti industrijo v države z nizkimi ekološkimi standardi pod pretvezo, da tako rešujemo planet.
Nastala je EU, ki se mora reševati sama pred sabo.

Congratulations to the @BCLions on a great playoff victory!
Now, @PremierScottMoe, about that wager… what size Lions jersey should I bring to our first official meeting?

If you listen carefully it’s a misplaced anger at his own parents for not making him feel worthy that turned into raging jealousy of other children who had parents that lifted them up and poured into them. He’s projected all of that onto white people. He needs to mend his heart before thinking about running for any office. White ppl haven’t hurt him. He knows exactly who did. Notice how he doesn’t get the satisfaction he was craving when the interviewer simply anchors himself & doesn’t validate that experience. We should all do more of this. Don’t validate anyone’s experience for the sake of temporary bonding.

🚨 JUST IN: Polish President Karol Nawrocki just went INSIDE the country's highest constitutional court and told the pro-EU tyrants to SHOVE IT, they are NOT the legitimate judges and their takeover is DONE
"You are not judges of the Constitutional Tribunal!"
🔥🔥🔥
This is the elected President of Poland personally standing up to an attempted takeover of the country's top constitutional court.
INCREDIBLE!!
Donald Tusk's camp tried to declare the Tribunal's leadership "suspended" and sent police to the building. Nawrocki flew home and walked right inside, and he is not backing down.
Go get 'em, Mr. President! 🇵🇱🇺🇸

Great to sit down with MP Parm Bains today at Himalaya Restaurant in the heart of the Punjabi Market.
Parm and I have known each other for years, and today was about rolling up our sleeves and finding where our two levels of government can work together for the people of Vancouver-Langara. Over a good meal and a cup of chai, we talked about the Build Communities Strong Fund, strengthening the supply chain corridor along the south end of the riding, and housing.
Parm’s deep roots in this neighbourhood make him a valuable partner, and I’m grateful for his time and insight.
My door is open to anyone and everyone who wants to work together to deliver for this community. Now let’s build B.C.

Some good news.
After 262 days Maya Gebala is being released from BC Children's Hospital.
13 year old Maya was shot in the head during the mass shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School.

Statistically half their BCTF likely voted Conservative & Half of the children you teach come from conservative leaning homes. This tribalism inside our institutions needs to stop. Just teach our kids and stay out of politics!
The BC teachers union president issued this statement today 🥴
"I recognize that with the outcome of a Conservative government, many of us may be feeling disappointed, scared, or deeply concerned about what might come next.
I know these results may be particularly concerning for Indigenous, racialized, and 2SLGBTQIA+ members. You are not alone."

It’s been a tough stretch for the big club but good to remind yourself that Caleb Malhotra is flying at BU, Novotny is dominating, Cootes is at a point per game as a 19 year old & the Abby Canucks are the hottest team in the AHL😏

Yup. The contrast was striking. Lorne praised her and congratulated her in a glowing way and she could hardly accept him as a human being. Classless!

More of this!
Thank you, Sunita.
For the past two years, Sunita has served Vancouver-Langara as MLA, and she has done it with real heart. I got to know her through my work in the Jewish community, and what began as a working relationship grew into a genuine friendship.
Sunita is one of the warmest, most caring people I know in public life. She works incredibly hard, and she has a rare gift for connecting with people, whoever they are and wherever they come from. I'll never forget her coming straight from Victoria to our CLEAR Alzheimer's dinner to speak to the families we support. It meant a great deal to me.
We ran against each other this fall, but that never changed how I feel about her. Thank you for your service to this community and for your friendship. Vancouver-Langara is better for the work you've done.
