I know, I didn't answer the question. We have had an absolutely terrible
federal Canadian govt. since 2015. Far left self-styled progressive.
Woke with a capital W. Now ramming through legislation to heavily
regulate internet content with an extra-judicial body to penalize
offenders.Bringing in millions of poorly vetted immigrants when our
educational and health-care systems are already overloaded. Most housing
is already overpriced and in short supply. Long waiting times to see a
medical specialist. Millions have no family doctor. TWICE I had to wait
FIFTEEN hours in the ER before I was examined by a doctor. I've had to
fly 5 HOURS, to Toronto, to have my hip replaced, paying out $40k out of
my own pocket, due to long waiting lists. Cortisone shots no longer
helped and doctors here are often afraid to prescribe adequate pain
relief in such cases due to the paranoia concerning opiate prescriptions.
So, becoming part of The Republic has its pros and cons but not quite
ready to go that far....today. More likely to support my province,
Alberta, joining the other western provinces and declaring independence.

Canada and Greenland joining the United States would be a natural fit.
Everyone else is forcing their way into America, but we actually want
you guys. That should be a source of pride!

Dave, I would be shocked if the PC's don't send the Truedumb and co.
packing when the next election is called.

The Bridge Podcast w/Peter Mansbridge who himself and most of his guests
don't seem to be huge fans of Pierre Poilievre, readily admit that it is
all over for the Libs...The big question is will it be a majority
government ?

Our Canadian Parliament is on yet another of their extended breaks--they
don't sit again until Jan. 27...so the earliest time for a
Non-confidence vote which should bring down that terrible woke
government will be about Jan. 30. I have all my fingers crossed, waiting
to see the defeat of the worst prime minister in Canadian history.
