NOW ALL MY HOPES ARE ON THIS ERNIE WITT CLONE I HAD NO IDEA EXISTED THREE WEEKS AGO #WANTITALL
WIN IT FOR EVERY EXPO FAN EVERYWHERE VLADDY S'IL VOUS PLAIT #WANTITALL
TWO OUTS AND IF THIS WORKS I WILL FINALLY CALL IT ROGERS CENTRE EVEN THOUGH WE ALL KNOW IT IS SKYDOME #WANTITALL
THREE OUTS AND I WILL ALMOST FORGIVE ROGERS FOR THEIR CONSTANT NICKEL-AND-DIMING OF CANADIAN CABLE SUBSCRIBERS #WANTITALL
SIX OUTS AND I WILL SUDDENLY LIKE THE CITY OF TORONTO AGAIN (I stopped liking it when I had to drive downtown years ago) #WANTITALL
This squad certainly isn't as fun as the Expos, or the 92-93 Jays. They are fun however. I'm late to this bandwagon, but I really want them to win. They can even visit Rideau Hall for the LOLs #worldseries

I think it is in fact May 2026, it was pushed back a year because of muni reforms I think. The extra year was one of the reasons why the St Andrews mayor stepped aside early
As it often does, the important historic journal Acadiensis has an essay that reminds us of the amount of federal involvement on the matter of Mactaquac www.erudit.org/en/journals/...

what is not talked about enough is how so so so much of this infrastructure came with significant federal investment. Even if we are about to enter a new era of building things etc etc I am not sure as much federal $$ will be coming
Mark Carney used that stolen wifi to send a mass email invite to next year's Davos economic forum, downplaying the horrible logistics of regional airfare these days
In this turbulent world glad to see some good news. The Canada Games are returning to New Brunswick! Kudos to all involved in organizing the SJ-Moncton bid. Now to bring back Fiddle Edd!
I should add that 'home neighbourhood' means neighbourhood of his youth. Wayne lives in the new riding now, but I don't know if that is the case with the appointed Tory. I heard she lives on Kingston Peninsula, but I guess electionsCda docs will print official residence
I think the newspaper did a quick analysis when the ridings were first redrawn. Here in SJ, one of the reasons why Wayne Long pondered retirement (aside from disagreements with JT) was he was losing a natural voting base in the west side, his home neighbourhood. He'll still likely win w KV added
To be honest I am open to
better separation of capital and operating budgets but it’s sort of just an accounting wrinkle in the end
If PM Carney placed a Canada Flag on John Turner’s grave as a campaign stop he would win 250 seats because of elbows up etc etc
Carney: "The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over."
This is a lot more nuanced and less schtick-y than the first take. Still, Mike Myers comes across as quite earnest - who would have thunk that celeb endorsements (a very unCanadian thing, I might add) would have some traction?
Canada is everything.
I think SJ-St Croix may be closer than we think, as the addition of West SJ changes the electoral calculus somewhat. Of all the 10 seats, this one feels most unpredictable
*thin link (darn spelling mistakes). At least I spelled Fak and not something else
I'm always late to every party, but just started watching the Bear and learned the chap who plays Fak was born in Saint John. It's a somewhat think link (kind of like Donald Sutherland RIP) but it's always fun to know when the cool kids are linked to your city
