But as house speaker, she would certainly not run it like a **** show. I hate her voting record, but I highly respect the fact she is country before party.

I'm hoping for a bipartisan solution where the moderates work with the Democrats and elect (I can't believe I am saying this...) Liz Cheney as Speaker of the house. I honestly think that would be the least-worst option.

Practice?

Pics or it's just bullsh- wait a second... Confirmed. Sorry for doubting you DoD.

This whole GQP dumpster fire of nominating a house speaker keeps me going back to this teeet: I mean, ****... it's perfect.

IIRC, Hassel benefitted from a seriously depleted secondary.

How many moderate GOPer would need to abstain from voting to make Jefferies Speaker of the house? Asking for a friend.

One resolution per year is good enough- go forth and drink to your heart's content!

Very convincing- Your Resolution is intact.

I want trump to run as an independent. Someone NEEDS to convince him of this. That way, his party can be the garage dump for the worst of both parties. I would love to see a war between the GQP and MAGA. Democrats be all

Interested to see what @TBURGESS has to say about this portion. "Rourke, 24, is under contract with the Lions for next season, thanks to a three-year deal he signed with the team in May 2021. McEvoy said Tuesday that the Lions told Rourke in September that they would redo his deal for this coming season if he was to return, although McEvoy maintains the parties have not yet gotten into any specifics."

Agreed. It seemed like he was a solid fit, playing really good and then boom- he fell out of favour very abruptly. I think you're right, must have been something behind the scenes there.

Just so we are on the same page, can you give a few examples of the "hard turns to left"? I am trying to understand your point of view. Sorry- it was about the health care funds. Also, funtcionaly- The liberals would have a minority government every single time- the NDP would prop them up, very time over the cons. So, No- I am not wrong in that. Interestingly enough- all those graphs show a clear left of center preference for Canadians.

I literally did, 3 hours ago.

Good for him! Sucks for us. I wish him the best and hope he gets a fair shake.

Everything I have watched/read/heard has been the exact opposite of what you say here... The main thing I keep seeing is that Liberal would win almost every single election and the cons would pretty much lose out almost every time. The victories would be more, but the majorities would be less for the Liberals. I am really interested to read your set of facts- maybe I am just in an echo chamber, need to read the other side of things to see if it's true.

I find it curiously interesting that during the discussion on the pandemic benefits and how that was just handed out with very little over sight and "with out putting strings" on them. yet here you are advocating that Trudeau do exactly that- no strings, no oversight... It's like he's damn if he does or damned if he doesn't with you... I think you just suffer from TDS... And to hell with you for making me defend Trudeau. 😄

Heh- love it:

https://lop.parl.ca/sites/PublicWebsite/default/en_CA/ResearchPublications/201191E 3 The Federal Spending Power The federal spending power is inferred from Parliament’s jurisdiction in the Constitution Act, 1867 over public debt and property (section 91(1A)) and its general taxing power (section 91(3)). Thus, Parliament may raise money by taxation and may spend it, or grant it to others, as it sees fit. Although the provinces are responsible for the direct delivery of most medical services, the federal government uses its spending power to play a strong role in the Canadian medicare system through its financial contributions and by setting certain national standards by means of the Canada Health Act. Using its spending power, Parliament may set conditions for receipt of the money. The Canada Health Act, therefore, is constitutionally about the financing of health care, not health care directly, and the national standards it establishes are the conditions to which the provinces must adhere if they wish to continue to receive federal money. The only sanction on a province for breach of any of the Act’s criteria or conditions is for the federal government to reduce or withhold payments to the province. In a 1997 decision of the Supreme Court of Canada, Justice LaForest stated that Parliament has played its role in the provision of medical care by employing its inherent spending power to set national standards for provincial medicare programs. The Canada Health Act … requires the federal government to contribute to the funding of provincial health insurance programs provided they conform with certain specified criteria. (The constitutionality of this kind of conditional grant, I note parenthetically, was approved by this Court in Reference Re Canada Assistance Plan (B.C.), [1991] 2 S.C.R. 525, at p. 567.)

fixed for accuracy. I swear every time pp, hears anyone saying **** Trudeau or anything disparaging towards JT, he's all:

So.. Kari Lake's husband just got symbolically cucked by donald trump... can you ******* believe it? Sadly, on second thought- this is not a surprise. AT. ALL.
