Hey Americans (and others, but so many Americans),
When you say the word, "important" don't forget to pronounce both 't' sounds. So many of you have dropped the first 't' sound so that the word sounds like this:
impor-ant
It makes you sound unserious.

Cool. Dylanesque.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Okay, round 2.
How many Alberta separatists does it take to change a lightbulb?
- 0. They just sit in the dark and blame Ottawa.
or
-Two. One to declare the lightbulb federal tyranny and another one to demand a referendum on darkness.

Another CPC MP crosses the floor to join the LPC, putting the Liberals within 1 seat of a majority. At this point Poilievre's caucus has more exits than a Canadian Tire parking lot. Pierre should start giving out loyalty cards: Cross the floor ten times and the Liberals get a free MP.
