    Say what you want about Project Veritas, but the video evidence is pretty stunning. Congress should investigate this matter.

    Poilievre isn't "marching" with them. He walked with them for a bit. According to video clips I've seen, they chatted for a few city blocks, he shook a few hands and left. That's what real political leaders do: engage, listen and build a level of trust. I have no issue with this.

    No matter what you think of Poilievre's description of Trudeau, he offered to replace that word with 2 different ones. This concession would have been acceptable to most House Speakers, but not a Liberal partisan like Fergus. Which is exactly why Fergus needs to be removed ASAP.

    Will Smith didn't deserve to receive the Oscar. He didn't deserve to receive a standing ovation (or a rambling acceptance speech). Chris Rock deserves an apology, however.

    Foolish response. Diversifying the Canadian economy is fine. Many Conservatives, including me, have called for it. My old friend and boss, Stephen Harper, paved the way for it. Declaring that the long-standing relationship between Canada and the U.S. is "over" is idiotic.

    "Over the coming weeks, months, and years, we must fundamentally reimagine our economy. We will need to ensure that Canada can succeed in a drastically different world," says PM Mark Carney as he discusses Canada's response to U.S. President Trump's tariffs. #cdnpoli

    This is an excellent video. Simple, straightforward and something that all Canadians can understand -- and, in many cases, identify with. Well done, @PierrePoilievre.

    Unbelievable. Put aside your feelings for Carney and the Liberals for a minute. If you were them, wouldn't you try to find a replacement with as clean a record as possible after the Chiang controversy? Honestly, I'm at a loss to explain this.

    Excuse me? Carney is well on his way to becoming Liberal leader and PM this weekend, but he's unelected and doesn't have a parliamentary seat. Hence, it's the equivalent of briefing a private citizen on sensitive material. Joly should be reprimanded for this...but she won't be.
