Why does “fiscal discipline” always mean selling public assets to the ultra-wealthy instead of taxing them?
Carney is shameless. Pure disaster capitalism.
“This time is different,” Carney said. “We are building this country in a more dangerous, divided world, a more hostile world & a difficult market environment as well. We need to retain fiscal discipline, this government is committed to that”

THE PRIDE OF KENTVILLE REMAINS IN OUR NATION'S CAPITAL FOR HALF A GENERATION
Drake Batherson (8x10.6m extension with Ottawa) is a great converter of offence into goals, both by setting and finishing; and an exceptionally strong driver of penalty differential; maybe the best in the league. Ordinary impacts on shot rates.

We have literally upped the "Productivity Super Deduction" to the "Productivity Mega Deduction".

underrated part of El-Sayed’s messaging strategy seems to be shaming journalists who ask dumb questions that play into right-wing frames. you can’t answer these in a way that satisfies them, but you can make it embarrassing enough that you impose a toll on asking.
