Lisa Raitt released her tax plan today. Fairly standard Conservative fare.
Yesterday, Maxime Bernier released his foreign affairs policy:

An actual ‘scandal’ that lives up to the -gate moniker.

Related for those unable to parse sarcasm. Waves at Ponce.
Via John Galt, I think this correlation is pretty weak and the studies sample size is tiny, but apparently if you swear you’re more honest.

Just when you thought the MSM couldn’t reach a new low, CNN’s U-Boat captain Wolf Blitzer proved you wrong: CNN: Assassinating Trump Could Keep Obama Administration in Power
“Obviously there’s mandatory police for security and things like that…but we just didn’t want police inside the parade itself,” he said. “We believe the police as an organization, as an institution, have been very homophobic and racist to the community members within Pride Toronto.”
You may not like a leader needing to speak French, but it matters a great deal whether you want it to or not.
Note, Andrew MacDougall is a former Dir. of Communications for PM Harper’s PMO.
It isn’t until the bottom of this article that you learn why the rest is bogus.
Understanding the difference in trends between the surface temperature data sets and the satellite data sets of atmospheric temperature remains an outstanding challenge for scientists.
And journalists.
“He had a type of postcard printed for friends and colleagues which showed him in 17 different disguises corresponding to the different identities he assumed in the course of 17 different investigations,” said Alessia Glielmi, an archivist at Rome’s Historical Museum of the Liberation who is an expert on Dosi.

For your evening listening pleasure I present a podcast from down under where a SJW has created a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist.

Canada is not the US.
Start with those two rather salient differences: this is not America, and he is not Trump. Canada has not gone through anything like the serial traumas that the United States has, from the Sept. 11 attacks to the Iraq war to the housing collapse to the financial crisis. We have no parallel to the illegal immigration problem that so divides and defines American politics.
And why didn’t Canada go through the same malaise as the US? Because we had a steady hand at the tiller who knew what he was doing. Lord help us now if Canada is hit with another recession under the new watch.

Update: Kevin O’Leary to enter Conservative leadership race tomorrow
