“The award, created in 1989, is given to a public official or group of public servants from any level of government each year “whose actions demonstrate the qualities of politically courageous leadership in the spirit of ‘Profiles in Courage,'”
Sure, if causing the Democratic Party to get destroyed at every elected level is courageous, and then to have President Trump and the Congress roll-back every single plank of your supposed legacy qualifies as ‘courage’.
At least the Americans waited until he’d done something to give him an award, unlike the Norwegians.

The Christian faithful.

So, how did The Washington Post headline the appointment? “Trump picks former Georgia governor Sonny Perdue, who once led a prayer for rain, for agriculture secretary.”
Yes, that was their actual headline.

See also, Brad Trost at 11%, a not insignificant percentage of CPC members.

What say you, thumbs up or down?

While there are votes still(?) being counted, apparently, it looks pretty safe to declare a winner.

I don’t understand the reasoning for this. 25% of “qualified labour expenditure” (whatever that means) seems a little profligate.

The decision is likely to resonate the most in Joly’s province of Quebec, and her hometown of Montreal, where the tax credit could benefit several popular French-language talk shows produced by independent production companies.

Oh, nevermind. Spending money in Quebec is reason enough for the Liberals.

They’re not doing their part, or so we’ve been told.

So just how much money has flowed out of Alberta to Ottawa? A lot. Between 2000 and 2014, on a net basis, Alberta’s individual and corporate taxpayers shipped an estimated $200 billion-plus to the federal government. That’s what left the province, less what the feds reinvested here.

Four deaths and a suicide.

Bigger hills, better death.

Results! (And my apologies for the delay in announcing the winners.) So, without further ado…

What exactly does it mean to “seize the opportunity to understand the impact that the Internet may have on users”?
Are the Liberals thinking of controlling content?

If Ted Cruz just isn’t Canadian enough for you.

The failure of ‘Canada’ will become evident by the end of the Energy East review process. ‘Were I a Calgarian, I’d be first perplexed, and then perhaps angry,’

Is McCallum a bigot now? Isn't that how this works? It's how it works if you're a conservative. https://t.co/7TRImjJT6d

“I think you can be constructive, I think you can be strong, but you don’t have to be angry,” said Ambrose. “I do think that my colleagues have sent the message loud and clear that we want to be effective and constructive but leave the nastiness behind.”
But, she’s only the interim leader and so, it doesn’t matter.

Yes, historical bozo-eruptions are fair game. And rightly so.
The Internet is a hateful place and I don’t really want Parliament to behave or have representation from that culture.

After carefully reading this story about an AirBnb incident in Madrid, it’s not clear where the truth lies.
In the big picture though, one wonders if a mainstream heterosexual male comedian could use the aforementioned headline in a joke and still be employable the next day.

“Bro with no ho.”

At a recent cultural event in San Francisco, about half a dozen Hillary 2016 personnel planted themselves at one street corner. Two of them were overheard to say, “A lot of people passing by don’t seem very pleased to see us here. I don’t know why.”
