I think that Canadian politicians and reactive supreme courts have ####ed Canada over.
Canada for Canadians. No Aboriginals anymore. No "settlers". We all live here, we all have to make it work.
Everyone needs to accept that the past happened and move on. And while we're at it, we should stop granting federal funds to pseudo monarchial controlled familial groups who dominate the reserve system and basically enforce extra poverty on the inhabitants of the reserves through rank greed.
I spent the afternoon with a Piikani elder yesterday. I think his message would be that we can’t change the past, but in the spirit of reconciliation we can work together, learn together, and heal together.

I suspect the stigma on these properties will already be beginning. Selling them will be an issue, value for these specific homeowners will be at risk.
Homeowners suing the province for lost equity next? This will be a huge mess.
Yeah, sounds like companies are indeed having issues with financing and home owners trying to sell or dealing with their mortgages according to their MLA. Nevermind loss in equity.
I've been saying that for the past 8 years. Notley should have dismantled the NDP name, got all the non-effed up UCP members, Alberta Party, the 2 Liberals left in AB and united the left with the new ABBP!
..Anti Bus Boobs Party
Change the god damn name Nenshi!
The only people dumb enough to be distracted by the NDP name are on Team UCP.

It’s just a dumb idea all-around. Not even sure what voters they’d capture get with a name change. Seriously, if they did, UCP would harangue them so relentlessly that nobody would forget that whatever new party name was previously the NDP. You can envision the campaign attack ads already. Anybody who was on the fence, wasn’t voting for UCP anyway. Federal NDP is basically dead now anyway, so who cares?
New bill is supposed to come this week, haven't seen it yet but maybe I missed it. But good news as a first step, it's been a long time coming and hopefully a reversing the direction from the last decade of governance.
The public and all the Premiers have been demanding it for years now.
Carney announces details of new bail reform bill coming next week
Next week, the Canadian government will bring forward a new bail reform bill aimed at cracking down on violent and repeat offenders, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Thursday.
The new legislation will target those accused of serious crimes such as violent auto thefts, breaking and entering, human trafficking, as well as sexual and violent assaults, in an effort to keep those accused of such acts, out of Canadian communities.
“Right now, in most bail hearings, the starting point is to release, and the Crown must prove why someone should not be released on bail, making it too easy for repeated violent offenders to quickly get back on the street, sometimes back into the same communities that they just committed crimes in,” Carney said. “Our new law will flip that script.”
Speaking outside of the RCMP Toronto Airport detachment in Etobicoke, Ont., he said the Nov. 4 budget will include $1.8 billion to be spent over four years to boost federal policing capacity nationwide.

Why would he do that if there is no problems with crime? Weird.
I’m sure some are furious that he is spending all their little tax loonies on this.
It doesn’t matter what media you consume, unless you spend you entire days watching the Great Canadian Baking Show, all you’re going to see is rage bait.
But again, your concern is misplaced. I do care for other people, but I am concerned over real issues, not boogeymen that make me feel angry all the time.
And if my tax dollars are going somewhere I want them fixing real problems, not whatever you or your political idols “feel” is a big problem.
Worms still trying to figure out how crime was lower under Harper than Trudeau.
Andrew Coyne diagnoses what Poillievre’s controversial statements say about the state of the CPC today.
Quote:
…It does not matter a great deal whether he sincerely believes what he is saying – whether he believes the World Economic Forum is controlling our futures, for example, or the lunatics who took the nation’s capital hostage for three weeks are “peaceful protesters” – or merely wishes to pander to those who do. Past a certain point, they amount to the same thing.
A common explanation for the increasingly strident statements Mr. Poilievre has been making of late – claiming foreign workers are taking jobs from Canadian youth, declaring the country’s cities are a “war zone,” insisting the Nazis were socialists – is that he is focused on ensuring he wins enough votes of party members to survive the leadership review at the party’s January convention. But what does it say about his grip on the leadership that he is so beholden to the party’s most extreme elements? And what does it say about the state of the party that the extremists appear to be in control?
That, more than Mr. Poilievre’s leadership, is what really ought to preoccupy party leaders. When, for example, 45 per cent of Conservative supporters tell pollsters that they approve of Donald Trump’s job performance – versus 1 per cent of Liberals and New Democrats – something has gone very wrong…

That’s right. I think it’s a waste of money and just pandering to quell the CPC base. I guess that’s the price to keep some people from whining. Shrug.
If the CPC has gone off the deep end down the extreme-right Trump/MAGA rabbit hole and won't change, then it's time for right-of-centre progressive conservatives to start a new party and bring lost PC voters home and give an option to CPC members who want that as well. It will split the right vote in the short-term, but long-term it would bring sanity and credibility back to the conservative side of the spectrum.

Mark Carney is basically a Stephan Harper conservative. Change my mind.
I have no problem with that. Still light years better than Turdeau. and a billion jillion hyperspace years better than the deplorable moron leading the Cons right now.

Is there any indication that he's muzzling or otherwise putting limits on disclosure of findings by scientists that are inconvenient? Or limiting / directing health funding based on ideology?
The better comparison would seem to be a Paul Martin Liberal but maybe there is someone with a more detailed historical perspective who can correct that.

He is a Brian Mulroney Conservative. Will he have the balls to make the GST 7% again?

Has he created an office of religious freedom yet, or a 'barbaric cultural practices' hotline? Cutting the GST despite not having surpluses to do that? Haven't seen those policies.

Nice of Carney to pander to the CPC base I guess. Hahaha.

There is a lot of daylight between Carney saying "This isn't prefect, it can be improved", and PP saying "This is completely broken and needs to be completely torn down"
But subtlety, nuance, or even good policy aren't exactly the forte of the CPC or PP right now.
