The NIMBY urge will be difficult for Conservatives to ignore in the coming years, but scratching that itch in the short term for boomer votes will have recourse in the years that follow. Governments allowing a generation to be priced out of home ownership is not something young people will forget.

A moment ago in Calgary - a police motorcade carrying Private Aidan Goulding, who died in the CFB Wainwright tragedy, drove down Crowchild Trail flanked by saluting officers & Canadian flag hung by the FD. They traveled from med. examiners office towards a funeral home in the SE.

British Columbians have every right to debate how their public lands are governed, without threats or intimidation.
Disagreements over legislation must be resolved through democratic institutions, public debate and the rule of law.

The BC Teacher’s Federation are more concerned about advancing their own ideologies and fears, than teaching kids basic skills to survive and thrive in the real world
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."

Teachers should not wear any political badges or symbols. Neither should civil servants.

Canada having different jail times depending on the race of the rapist and his victim is so comically illiberal it’s almost a parody

He guaranteed the continued existence of British North America is what he did! He was a brave English officer! And in this house, Isaac Brock is a hero, end of story!

What exactly have they got against the Battle of Britain pilots? Would they rather the other side had won?

SECRETARY RUBIO: “Nationalism” became a dirty word. So we tore down our monuments, we condemned our own history, and in too many places we taught our children to be ashamed of the countries they would inherit. In the process we opened our borders, and outsourced our industry, and allowed our militaries to wither and to decay.

I met @RepRichardNeal when I was a Northern Ireland Minister. He is personally engaging but is utterly sectarian in his views on Northern Ireland.
Like many ‘Irish Americans’ his views are romantic and disengaged from reality.
The USA is not a guarantor of the Agreement.
This is a consequential moment on the island of Ireland.
The Orange Order parade represents a return to the divisions of the past. After 28 years of progress thanks to the Good Friday Agreement, we have come too far to turn back now.
Today, I joined my colleagues in the Congressional Friends of Ireland Caucus in writing to the British Secretary of State Bryant, calling on the Government of the United Kingdom to cancel the Orange Order parade on Garvaghy Road.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The letter states that the United States is a guarantor of the Good Friday Agreement, but the agreement was reached between the UK and Irish governments and Northern Ireland political parties with no such US role or designation.

1) The United States is not and never has been the guarantor of the Good Friday Agreement.
2) If he cared about the Agreement, he would support its provisions about the Parades Commission and support their decisions even when they back the Unionists
3) He fundraised for the IRA.

Two years ago in New York, I was in a meeting with Representative Neal in which he talked fondly of dinners he attended in the 1980s to raise money for the IRA campaign.
He can sit this one out.
