In my humble opinion the Green Party should not be a traditional party. They should look at the field in every riding and award the Green "seal of approval" endorsement to the greenest candidate in the riding. It's leader should be in Ottawa and meet with a 'Green endorsed caucus' quarterly.

It is very difficult for the Canadian NDP or USA Democrats to convince their party that democratic class warfare is the very best way to win when facing party conventions of identity politics activists. The fact is that class politics works, and identity politics does not work. It's way past time.

Elon make me think of a top lawyer maybe judge, who decides to try brain surgery and wants to start at the top. Maybe on the spectrum, smart chap but you can't just switch your field and expect to know WTF you are doing.

Could it be any clearer on rent control? Ford PCs - no rent control on post 2018 buildings not rent control between tenants. Crombie Liberals - maybe rent control some time in future none between tenants. Stiles NDP- rent control on all buildings, no increases between tenants

Doug Ford’s 401 tunnel completes the campaign pledge trifecta: costly, unworkable, ineffective. There’s a simple explanation for why Ford’s tunnel would be the world’s longest: because no one else would even consider building such a thing. #Opinion
