Mark Carney: "It's sobering that this is the first time in over two decades that first ministers and First Nations have met together. This is an important opportunity, yes, to share perspectives, to listen, to learn, but above all, to commit to action. So let's seize this opportunity."

The best thing about Brad Bradfordโ€™s crushing loss is that the toxic Warren Kinsella was one of his foremost and most confident supporters. ๐Ÿคญ #topoli

President Luiz Inรกcio Lula da Silva came from behind to win Brazilโ€™s runoff election, halting a right-wing wave sweeping Latin America and defying predictions that the 80-year-old political veteran had finally reached the end of his extraordinary career. bloom.bg/4BsvV24 ๐Ÿ“ท: Maira Erlich/Bloomberg

So true!

It would be nice if news headlines/reports stopped saying โ€œBC Conservatives win first majority in a centuryโ€ when the BC Liberals and Socreds won plenty of majorities and were, you know, conservative.

Today in BC I am cringing because some of us elected the con party. No good will come of this. I await the 1st person who says, "But I didn't vote for this!" Gotta think of what to say. Any ideas?

The Justin Trudeau government broke the USA monopsony with the removal of the Proportionality clause in the Conservative governments free trade agreement. This clause effectively guaranteed the USA 90% of the crude, made oil pipeline to the coast unviable and depressed Canadian exported oil prices

Fred DeLorey: "All of these separatist 'leaders,' not a single one of them have been elected to anything. Go put your name on a ballot. Try to become an MLA. Try to create the movement through a democratic process. You had your chance. It failed."

This man was dead weight, hanging high above the ground after touching a high-voltage line. His coworker climbed up, held him in place, gave him mouth-to-mouth. Randall Champion survivedโ€”and lived another 35 years. Rocco Morabitoโ€™s photo, โ€œThe Kiss of Life,โ€ won the Pulitzer Prize. True heroism.
