Since Huscroft J.A. was saucy about social science, pardon me some snark. This is incorrect. The PM is PM until they resign. A PM can choose to test confidence, even w/ fewer seats. The GG doesnt invite the PM to stay on, nor is it convention that the pluarity party governs.

Appeasement if necessary, but not necessarily appeasement. Trump and his admin knew this was coming for years. Trump seized on it Friday, and now this, so quickly. What did we get in exchange? cbc.ca/news/politics/…

In Ottawa for Leafs v Sens tonight - just ran into a group of leaf fans, one of whom carrying a broom. 🧹 Go Leafs!

The current discourse would be much saner if we accepted that *all* Prime Ministers are appointed, not elected.

Trudeau cites how “Canadians fought and died” beside you. Cites Iranian hostage crisis. Hurricane Katrina. La fires. 911. “We were always there”. He is not wrong to cite these key moments. The sense of betrayal is palpable.

In conversation with Brad Jacobs after an intense and charged day of curling here in St. John’s. Really thoughtful stuff. Reflective to be sure. Believes the electric atmosphere is what curling needs. Here are his thoughts after two victories to make it into the final.

Bottcher calling weight constantly down the sheet - a skip’s dream. Having a second skip should make this team unstoppable once they gel.

We're thinking differently. Our new approach eliminates the traditional "hire-back" process for Articled Clerks, allowing 2L Summer Students to advance seamlessly from Articled Clerks to Associates at Stewart McKelvey. bit.ly/4dESl2Z

I don't pretend to know it all but in my line of work I see the differences choices for youth makes. They provide shelter counseling and assistance to some of the most vulnerable. Every day at court they show up and lend needed support when little or no other support exists.

One hopes this is bureaucratic churn not matching the political intent; that said, I do not recognize the federal Liberals I ardently supported, and this is another log on that fire. As a member of CFY’s Board of Directors, this one is especially puzzling and heartbreaking.

Choices for Youth provides critical supports to youth and young families in our province. I spoke to Executive Director Jen Crowe this morning, shared my concern and emphasized that CFY is a valued community partner of our government.

Choices for Youth is saddened to share that we are forced to significantly reduce our services for vulnerable youth after months of delays in finalizing a vital funding agreement. Following seven years of federal investment, on June 20, 2024, we were informed we would receive…

One hopes, with perhaps too much naïveté for today’s world, that the American people will appreciate Biden’s “We Before Me” approach and reflect on what an impressive person he has been and still is - thereby deflating Trump’s thus far effective strategy of deceit and populism.
