A reminder, because it is almost that time of year: More children are killed by cars on Halloween than any other day of the year, by far. www.vox.com/future-perfe... If you're a parent, I hope you'll do what you can to keep kids safe. If you're driving on Saturday, PLEASE exercise extra caution.

Running pro-energy sector ads is not the mandate of Environment and Climate Change Canada. Carney is also gutting federal science agencies and trashing environmental protections. Carney is worse than Harper.

212. Stop misusing Environment and Climate Change Canada to push pro-energy sector propaganda. That is NOT their mandate. Also, stop gutting federal science agencies and trashing environmental protections.

Planning and industrial strategies are things that only high-capacity, well-funded governments can do. Sadly, Ottawa in general is allergic to planning ahead. Otherwise we’d have finished a Royal Commission by now. And Carney is cutting government, not letting it play its essential planning role.

A competent, capable government would have been planning for the decline of the auto sector, which clearly can’t survive as is in a market that is no longer continental. And they would have a plan to keep things like steel going in Canada, not threatening lawsuits.

FWIW, I’m seeing several ridings where you could make a plausible argument that Green vote splitting elected Conservatives, but even taking those into account, you still end up with the Conservatives winning a majority

Great promotion for Caddix. I never heard of them until now. Nice job protecting Nike, Adidas, and Under Armour, NFL 😆

Jason Lieser: An explainer on Bears QB Caleb Williams being fined almost $12k for the cleats he wore vs. the Falcons-- Williams wore them again vs. the Patriots, likely drawing another fine. He appeared to wear them in Weeks 1 & 2, too, but with a subtle difference.

Brad Bradford is endorsed by Rebel 'News'. That's disqualifying in itself. This is way too close - get your head out of your ass Toronto.

Mike Johnson: "When I'm in these big arenas, I ask for hands -- 'Show me your hand if you've answered a poll in the last six months.' There will be like three hands among 300 people. I'm telling you, these polls are off. All of them."

It all comes down to Maine. It comes down to us. We know what’s at stake. We know that a vote for Susan Collins is a vote for Donald Trump. Let’s win this thing and take back the Senate.

This is a really wonderful listen, and a great get by @torontomike.com! You can still hear lots of Bob in there, even though his strokes have made it so the effort he’s making to talk is really noticeable. A great conversation with THE icon of Toronto sports broadcasting.

This is literally the end of the rule of law. If a President can pardon people committing crimes on his behalf - and the Supreme Court says he himself can't be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his job - then the government becomes a lawless entity able to violate our rights without limit.

Greg MacEachern on Danielle Smith: "It's kind of shameful how expensive it was in order for her to run a referendum to decide whether or not she has the power and strength to say to separatists, 'Get out of my party.'"

NEW: A woman featured in a Republican attack ad accusing a Democrat of being “dangerous” for children actually PLEADED GUILTY TO CHILD ENDANGERMENT after driving drunk with her own kids in the car, per the Washington Post.

Nake no mistake, the seperatists have a party in alberta - its called the United Conservative Party. The current worlwide Conservative movement is a big issue these days. The base is full of racist, anti-science, misogynist weirdos.

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."

Ralph Goodale on Pete Hoekstra: "He really should remember that his role has changed. He's no longer the Michigan politician. He's a diplomat and an ambassador, and he should behave in a diplomatic fashion that is respectable in the country in which he is located."

Given the shift in media ownership over the Trump era, Democrats REALLY need to learn to ignore media handwringing now. Because I have no doubt their every move for accountability will be attacked from every possible angle.

You had to know the game management calls were coming. Shot attempts are 88% in the Habs favour in the third. xG% is 92% in the Habs favour. But of course, the team that can't make a single successful play gets a powerplay.
