Cracks emerge: Montreal Liberal MP Anthony Housefather says he is “reflecting” on his future in the Liberal party after a heavily amended NDP motion on Palestinian statehood passed in the House of Commons on Monday.

When even Ed the Sock throws in the towel on Justin, you get the sense that the end has to be near.
As an aside, I remember when Ed used to be genuinely funny.
I am not a believer in polls this far out from a likely election, but it's hard not to believe #Trudeau should step down for the good of Canada. Cdns support Liberal policies more than Con ones, but #PMJT has worn out his welcome. https://t.co/c8DEzvj1tv

Gets taken to the woodshed.
Update: I’ve been watching the debate on CPAC and a Liberal member has introduced a desperation amendment so they can crawl out of this hole… I guess the reports of frantic backroom negotiations were on target. developing…
OOPS! The BQ is complaining that THE PAPER NAPKIN HAS NO VERSION IN FRENCH. LOL … and debate is suspended.
Update 2: And they’re back… and the unilateral recognition of “the state of Palestine” is gone. Fracking delicious.
The circus has descended into shitshow.

Via @visegrad24: One of the main gangs in Haiti just released a high quality propaganda video
In this video, we can see men in uniform, well armed, equipped with almost new vehicles displaying a logo displaying a dinosaur head, the symbol of this criminal group. This raised countless questions. The simplest and certainly the most important: where did these materials come from and how were they able to arrive so easily at their destination? In a country like Haiti where no institution functions, the people will never have an answer.
Sunny Ways!
@mikemoore0057: Anyone wondering how Justin Trudeau’s $1700 a seat Liberal fundraiser is going tonight? Just swimmingly…
Standing Ovation
And The Budget Will Balance Itself
Like a garden gnome wearing 4″ heels.
An “outsized pace of spending” means Canada is on course to run a budget shortfall of about $47 billion for the fiscal year that ends March 31, according to estimates released Thursday by Desjardins.
The projection raises more questions about how Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland will meet her pledge to keep the country’s budget shortfall at around $40 billion a year from now until 2026.
“I think it’s going to be an exercise in creative accounting,” Randall Bartlett, Desjardins’ senior director of Canadian economics, who wrote the research note, said in an interview. “They either need to cut spending or increase revenues to make this work.”
A chorus of analysts and economists is warning that without tax increases or spending reductions, deficits are likely to rise amid slow economic growth.

@LarryBrockMP – Once Trudeau’s use of the Emergencies Act was declared unconstitutional, his Justice Minister & Deputy rushed in front of cameras to declare their intentions to appeal. But! They forgot to do one thing…

Toronto Star- Under the right conditions, Canada open to sending noncombat troops to Ukraine, Defence Minister Bill Blair says
OTTAWA—Canada is open to sending a limited number of military personnel to train Ukrainian troops within Ukraine, so long as such an operation took place far from the front lines of the war with Russia in a clear, noncombat role, Defence Minister Bill Blair says.
Francisco- If Canada wants to do more they should be looking at making things like artillery shells which are in incredibly short supply.
