Katie Telford’s op-eds
No business case for Trans Mountain expansion, says former environment minister.
Personally, I think it will be approved, even Trudeau isn’t that dumb. Yesterday I got a fundraising call from the SaskParty. I asked the poor part-timer on the phone for a Referendum on Independence in exchange for a donation.

Ilhan Omar, call your office.
The antisemitic Congresswoman from Minnesota has a problem.
My God. Props to @bloisolson for sharing.
From @IlhanMN’s crisis manager Ben Goldfarb:
“Does anyone in the team have a relationship with Blois? Someone should probably reach out to talk off the record and shut it down with him AS WE DO WITH THE STRIB” [emphasis added]

No, No, No.
Stay strong, Prime Minister. Hold the line.
But the Premiers didn’t create this mess. They’re just responding to legislation from the Liberals. If Trudeau wants to end this, he should moderate his bill.

Reparations for slavery
Saturday, March 4, 1865: “Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman’s two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said “the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.”
The Union armies had from 2,500,000 to 2,750,000 men. Their losses, by the best estimates:
Battle deaths: 110,070
Disease, etc.: 250,152
Total 360,222
The Confederate strength, known less accurately because of missing records, was from 750,000 to 1,250,000. Its estimated losses:
Battle deaths: 94,000
Disease, etc.: 164,000
Total 258,000
Four years of civil war changed all that forever. In 1865 the national debt stood at $2.7 billion. Just the annual interest on that debt was more than twice our entire national budget in 1860. In fact, that Civil War debt is almost twice what the federal government spent before 1860.

Did he have any marbles?
Cosh pretty much rips the PM’s talking points.
Congrats to the Blues
Way to go Blues.

Fragging wing-nuts.
Well, that’s refreshing.
"Bottom line is there’s no solid connection between climate change and the major indicators of extreme weather, despite Trudeau’s claims to the contrary. The continual claim of such a link is misinformation employed for political and rhetorical purposes." https://t.co/egJuIYiGYI

Don’t blame me, blame those proud boys and the Nazi’s in the media.
You may remember Isitt from such hits as “No Horses Here” and “Get that Christmas Wreath Gone”.
With friends like these…
What dipstick in the OLO forced the Conservative justice committee members to support the NDP motion to pull the video stream of testimony by Lindsay Shepherd, Mark Steyn and John Robson?
When Andy Panda was running for leadership, he was all ready to board the free speech ship captained by Shepherd, going so far as to threaten Universities. Now? Well, thank you Miss, but you’ve served your purpose.
I see Andy Panda’s spine resembles the rest of his physique, pliable.
Could of had Max.
This will go over well.
