1/ The UCP appointed Mr. Yager to the AER board - quietly on a Friday afternoon. I questioned the energy minister on addressing liabilities and reforming the AER, but he somehow recommended Mr. Yager's book instead of answering why the industry closure schedule was erased #ableg

The former Irish PM gets homophobic abuse by this passerby. That in particular is a horrible word, I’ve been called it before, and it shows you how hateful our politics is becoming. I hope it’s condemned across the board and we address this stuff before something awful happens.

I met @IanAchille on this hellsite many moons ago (but actually 20 yrs prior as we later figured out). He was incredibly smart & witty but also caring, compassionate & brave AF as he battled cancer & the stupidity of our politics. Ian passed away on April 27. Rest easy friend. 💔
Quiggin, of course, was closely involved in the convoy’s occupation of Ottawa. Sometimes you just have to laugh at the absurdity of it all.

What has happened to the NDP vote is interesting. It has gain 9% of past LPC voters, but has lost 12% of its own to the Conservatives. In other words, the NDP lost 2% of its vote share to the Conservatives but has gain 2% of Liberal share which is why it has held fairly steady…
@jameszad @maxfawcett I work for the largest environmental assessment and permitting firm in Canada and third largest in the US. We permit more projects and work with the regulations more than anyone and Canada’s regulations are not much different than every other western democracy.
@jameszad @maxfawcett It’s absolutely absurd to blame KXL not getting built in the US on the Canadian govt and Canadian regulations. It’s another country FFS. Moronic contention.
@BlairKing_ca @maxfawcett Yeah I do. I work for the largest EA assessment and permitting firm in Canada who was also the Construction Manager on TMX. BS it added years.

UGH. They're still here? And yeah, that car dressed up as a pretend cop car has gotta be soooooooo illegal.
These mf’ers want to be cops SO bad. Also, it takes a special kind of sicko to just openly advertise their violent murder fantasies like this… unhinged.
It means that they should spend some time in another country, in other cities, experience different cultures and then maybe, just maybe, they'll see that they are pretty damn lucky to live here and that a few duplexes isn't going to make the sky fall.
