After the Avro Arrow was cancelled, which may have been the most advanced fighter jet in the world at the time, Canadians were recruited to join NASA and build their space agency. Time to bring that same brilliance home…

Jesse Ventura: “If Donald Trump would have gone in the military, he would have been the guy that wet his bed, cried for his mom, went hysterical, and would be carted out in the middle of the night. The man’s a coward. He’s a bully. All bullies are cowards. That’s why they’re bullies”

Electing Bolsonaro as president of Brazil was a huge project for the Trump administration towards which large resources were mustered, including US diplomatic and consular staff. This constitutes interference in the internal affairs of Brazil. But Trump doesn't care. www.reuters.com/world/us/ins...

Super surprised that CBS didn’t expose Tina Peters. Did you know there’s a FREE news podcast that answers to no one? @dailybeanspod.com

ICE said Antonio Moreida jumped onto the hood of their vehicle. Now a local police investigation concludes that an ICE agent struck him with his SUV. The routine lying by ICE is the result of the example set by leadership of the Department of Homeland Security.

Alright you sickos here's your "speculate wildly about vote splitting" chart. In total, 13 ridings had a greater NDP+Green share than the Conservative winner. But given the margins and that Green voters aren't a monolith, I think only those top 4 Island ridings are a significant cause for wonder.
