I’m not sure electoral reform would ever get passed if they merged although there’s still the Green’s.
A coalition would probably be best for Canadians the next 4 years, but the viability of NDP being attached at the hip to the Liberals another term would be a real campaigning issue.
As a progressive voter I do wonder about how the NDP will handle this. I also imagine the Bloc don’t want to dick around to much at the risk of what happened last time.
Why give anything up for a:
Pollievre should be done, but it is way to early for Rob Ford to give up his premier job so do wonder what they’ll do. I think they ideally have a place holder till 2028ish when the pre election politics start again.
Does anyone have a paywall bypass for this? None of the usuals seem to work.
People need to seperate what happened to quantify the win and losses of the actions.
The original bill was intended for news corporation to get a fair cut for their content. Even with just Google signing on for a 100 million was a significant success.

For accessibility to news. Having less access to news for people always a bad thing. Having little to no regulations for modern media has also been a huge failure for almost all governments globally.
I do want to point out the entire “for change” thing is clearly not for the better just that he’s not the incumbent.
This logic brought America Trump so I really don’t know why someone would even say it now.
For many years places like the Fraser Insistute would point to the USA larger economy and more competitive salaries as why Canada should be copying their policies.
As usual the progressive arguments needed context like higher proverty rates or underlying social issues which to people that can barely make it past a article title is a largely lost cause. But in 2025 we can pretty just point to the flaming turd that is America and unless people are a special flavor of nuts they just kinda nod.
decade of Liberal rule that postured progressive while delivering mostly for the wealthy.
People should understand like the Democrats the Liberals hand in setting up people like Trump & Pierre to even be an option.
As a 3rd party voter I hope Liberals win but if they deliver more of the same I don’t think people want to imagine what’s next.
As usual they’re our version of it. Canada seems to always be a few years behind American garbage like this and it’s essentially what was palatable for America 2020ish.
Although there’s this:
Some of Build Canada’s supporters have also expressed interest in the ideas of Balaji Srinivasan, a tech entrepreneur who has become a proponent of an idea called the “network state.” Parrish interviewed Srinivasan twice on his podcast The Knowledge Project, once in 2020 and once in 2022. Shopify CEO Tobias Lütke and COO Kaz Nejatian were guests on the second episode of Srinivasan’s The Network State podcast in 2023. On that episode, Srinivasan suggested that Shopify had grown to have “a country-sized economy.”
The idea behind the network state is that companies could operate and govern city states.
In past years, fringe outlets like Rebel News have protested being excluded from the debate facilities and, thus, the post-debate scrums. Things have really changes this year. The debate commission had tried to limit news outlets to sending just a single reporter each into the post-debate scrums — this year, that includes Rebel. But, according to Rebel News founded Ezra Levant (who is also conducting conspiratorial anti-Liberal advertising across the country) that wasn’t good enough. Levant says they are sending 16 people to the debates and they demanded access to the scrums for all 16, even threatening to sue. Levant, yesterday, announced they won. “They wrote back to us, at the last minute, calling off our lawsuit, by agreeing to allow not one, not two, not three, not four, but five Rebels to ask questions.”
The debate commission responded to me this morning, confirming the news: “Rebel News’ legal representation has identified to the Commission that Rebel News has five distinct divisions.” As such, the conspiratorial right-wing fringe outlet gets five spots, while everyone else just gets one.
I remember seeing a “deal” on Redflagdeals last year for a Globe and Mail Sub and thinking you’d have to pay me to read most of their crap.
All the more reason to take the opportunity to get what we want. He essentially getting spit roasted on both sides of you want to imagine that
In this election cycle I don’t think parties have a choice so the larger issue at hand is how it’ll be done.
The White House initially said the flip-flop would leave Canada with another 10 per cent baseline tariff, but later reversed course. Ultimately, there are no new changes to tariffs on Canadian goods today.
I think we should stay the course with our reciprocal tariffs especially if we can get EU to do the same.
Trump might not always be dumb enough to pick a fight with someone his own size so we should take advantage of the situation.
Burns said all influenzas mutate and the H5N1 strain that emerged in 2021 is “significantly worse than other strains that we’ve had historically.”
She said the hope is that wild birds develop more immunity and the virus mutates into a less damaging strain.
Pandemic researchers worry that avian flu could mutate into a widespread human illness, and Bourque noted human transmission is “always a concern because these viruses can infect mammals, including humans, which is another reason why we don’t want it in our domestic bird population — because it is a threat to humans.”
This is also the second name person that provide input on this:

I’ll also once again say that all direct links to Postmedia should be banned. Even if people post archived links the submitter should justify why they’re using a non-credible source.
Not saying Smith isn’t. But she’s so incompetent she seems to be losing Pierre votes.
Going to be interesting when more stuff like this comes out in a few days.
As someone who voted for the Greens in the previous election I’m past it as far as her involvement goes.
But I will mention that type of approximate whataboutism from that era is the foundation for “hippy” to right wing wellness grift of today.
