Pollspotting
I Heart Radio: Would you be more likely or less likely to vote Conservative if MP Pierre Poilievre is elected leader of the federal party?
Currently 52% in favour.
And now 63% 67%. Well done, my droogies.

Sun- STRAUSS: The politics of health care reform in the aftermath of COVID-19
It is true that Charest’s proposals for health care reform are necessary. Alas, Charest is the least credible public figure to implement such policies. Policies, particularly controversial ones, need to be backed by principle in order to ever prevail in the political battles to come.
He’s Good At This
With Pearson airport still in chaos, more options for downtown Toronto travellers sure would help right about now.
But one of the first things Trudeau did in government was roadblock the Billy Bishop airport expansion.
As PM, I'll bring people together to approve it. pic.twitter.com/uU5g2rucUl

Deja Brown Hunkers Down
In case there were any lingering doubts that Patrick Brown is a Liberal party plant…
Patrick Brown has cancelled today’s Brampton Council meeting. Facing investigations by the CPC for possible violations of federal election laws (which led to his disqualification) & forensic investigations inside City Hall, he has shut down council for a month.
I mean, this is Trudeau cabinet level stuff.
More: Blame Poilievre!
Deja Brown, All Over Again
Patrick Brown has been kicked out of the Conservative Party leadership race by organizers by the Leadership Election Organizing Committee (LEOC), National Post has learned.
In a statement, race organizers say they "became aware of serious allegations of wrongdoing" by the Brown campaign.
According to our information, LEOC voted 11-6 to disqualify Brown— Christopher Nardi (@ChrisGNardi) July 6, 2022

The Unacceptables
Allan Stratton: If the Liberals don’t course correct, they may discover that while they are attacking Poilievre as a far-right extremist, he is eating their traditional liberal, working-class lunch.

Poilievre and Peterson
Pierre Poilievre joins Jordan Peterson on his podcast for a wide ranging hour and a half conversation. Link is to the YouTube version, so far it doesn’t look like the audio only is up yet.
Bombs Away
I just learned there’s a debate on.
Patrick Brown wants to go to war against Russia.

Tom Clark just asked these candidate what their favourite song is. Next: their favorite colour.
Not the carbon tax, foreign policy, not China policy, not pipelines.
Tom Clark is completely unprepared. He actually doesn't know what to ask about. What a fool.

That’s it for Charest
Siri, How Do You Spell “Boondoggle”
Despite spending a gazillion dollars worth of taxpayers money over multiple generations to try and ship things out of Churchill its never really worked. But this time it will be different…
Mackay- Manitoba could become Europe’s not-so-secret weapon against Russia
The port of Churchill, Man., could supply our allies in Europe with Canadian energy to free them from reliance on the Russian oil that fuels Putin’s war machine.
There are challenges, of course, ranging from building pipeline infrastructure and railroads through muskeg and melting permafrost, to contending with winter ice. But none of the challenges is insurmountable with modern engineering and environmental expertise.
In terms of infrastructure, new railways and pipelines would be needed, as would roads, telecommunications infrastructure, a new terminal with an underwater pipeline (mono buoys) and emergency services infrastructure.
Interesting Idea
The devil will be in the details.
Let people take back control of their money from bankers & politicians.
Expand choice, lower costs of financial products, create thousands of jobs.
