Interesting, the usual suspects sure had quite the circlejerk this weekend flinging thinly veiled attacks at all opinions that don't match theirs, all over an innocent CBC comedy skit that was posted and subsequent comments that clearly seems to have ruffled a few feathers.
Singh and the NDP today is calling a motion on recognizing Palestine as a state. NDP and BQ are voting for it, Liberal and CPC are looking set to vote against it.

Poilievre also pushing hard on the April carbon tax hike including a request for an emergency debate (which he knows cannot be granted but done for pure grandstanding). Liberal retort in the house of commons during question period seems to be carbon tax hike represents "cold hard cash" for Canadians. It appears that Liberals are no longer primarily using climate change as the reason behind it, but using the cash in your pocket angle instead. Odd angle, we will see how it goes.

It will be interesting to see how the NDP votes on the carbon tax hike pause motion, I expect they will vote against it on principle. Carbon tax remains a hot issue and the longer it stays in the forefront of news, will force the Liberals (and in conjunction the NDP) to be on the defensive on what is a very unpopular tax.
One comment, why the heck did the CPC choose "Spike the hike" as the slogan for stopping the carbon tax hike? It sounds so stupid, some political slogans work, this one doesn't. Anyways overall pretty bland Monday in politics.
