  1. Ok, so it was a senator. I couldn't quite imagine a currently sitting MP calling out their leader. That's an excellent article - maybe someone could read it to Pollievere
  2. By the time he's done going on about it...it'll be a 360 twice over.
  3. They sure are heaping praise on the post-game show
  4. Who was the MP that called him out?
  5. That is one heck of a shot by 55.
  6. To the point of referring to two Liberal ministers as 'two stooges.' Start listening at 5:00. In my opinion, the speaker needs to remove Polliviere from QP, at some point.
  7. I did hear it from Cloutier on CJOB & various journalists on CBC. I think Trudeau should've said 'yes' when Polliviere was pushing him during question period. And then let's have a conversation about what's actually going on.
  8. I guess the only question is: is this resonating only with his base? Or is it carrying further? Anyone that really wants to, can look up the opinion of someone like Colin Robertson (he was on CJOB). It's quite clear what's going on: foreign countries are influencing areas with high recent immigrant populations - to vote for their party of choice China does it, Dubai does it, others do it too.
  9. It's hard when you can never give up a bad goal - when was the last time the team bailed him out?
  10. ^^ Imagine expending all those resources...to build a grave
  11. Met this guy once...who got better at ping pong after every beer.
  12. I mean, they claim to be about balanced budgets, but there is always some reason for why that doesn't happen With all those federal transfers, a balanced provincial budget was gift wrapped for them But no...taxes must be cut.
  13. That's mind-numbing...I can't even begin to wrap my brain around it.
  14. Even news reporters don't get that right
  15. For the record, only 4 provinces have Canadian History as a compulsory subject in Highschool: Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba and Nova Scotia
  16. Some provinces have CH as a compulsory subject in grade 11 Others say you satisfy the requirements - as long as you take some type of grade 11 Social Studies course Manitoba: Grade 4: a unit on the History of Manitoba Grade 5: First Nations - Confederation Grade 6: Confederation up to the Current era (Including an extensive government unit, which is really annoying to teach to 11 and 12 year olds) Grade 9: Contemporary Canada Grade 11: a full Canadian History course
  17. I mean...if you can have Kevin Costner play Robin Hood...
  18. CH has always been mandatory in MB - I can't speak for other provinces, though
  19. Yeah well, I never went beyond being a goalie at recess ball hockey games. But I had a hockey stick in my bedroom - used pretend I was Jean Beliveau - winning all the faceoffs.
  20. It's compulsory in MB, I teach it every year. I also teach Canadian Law and get pretty solid enrollment each time. #dowhatyoucan It is what it is, it's not going to change. AB politicians need to lobby for more seats. Instead of chanting "triple, triple, triple" in question period.
  21. It's a historic agreement that was made in 1873 - when they joined Confederation - enticement tactics from Old John A. Estoppel and long - term legal precedence would make changing that number very difficult, if not impossbile
  22. Off topic politics discussion has been moved
  23. Ontario has 10.5 times the population of MB., with 121 seats in parliament Alberta has 4.7 times the population of MB, with 34 seats in parliament Use the population increase factors (ON = 10.5, AB = 4.7) Take the MB. federal seats and multiply: ON: 4 X 10.5 = 147 AB: 14 x 4.7 = 66 ON is 26 seats short, while AB is 32 seats short Bottom Line: it's close, and MB is getting a more than fair shake
  24. Alberta has a legitimate beef about federal representation: Alberta population: 4.37 million Alberta seats in Parliament: 34 Manitoba population: 1.37 million Manitoba seats in Parliament: 14 AB has 4 times the population of MB, but only 2.5 times the number of seats
