Let me guess... for CP's right-wingers, public healthcare workers make wayyyyy too much and that's a problem we need to get rid of (cause screw anything public sector right? #### those people), but people like Preston Manning, who has no experience in healthcare-related issues in the first place and isn't a trained medical professional, is paid just fine at a taxpayer-covered $250K (that's fair, right) for his work to cover a topic where medical credibility and clout will be a main factor? Did I get that right?

I've had a poster in PM condemn me for my "character judgments" and I'm like WTF? You don't even know me outside of some posts on a forum but you think you can call out my character? Some of you take this stuff way too seriously. Nobody really knows anyone here and I think we need to be a little careful about throwing words around that may or may not be true.

You're the one coming to the defence of a low-effort troll who hasn't expressed the slightest interest in good faith discussion, and also hasn't expressed the slightest indignation at his treatment (which isn't to say someone should have to complain to not get ridiculed, but the golden rule is simply playing out here).
This is not an example of the uncouth "Left" brow-beating a poor victim for having the audacity to espouse dissenting views, no matter how much you want it to be...I can't imagine any other reason why you'd jump in like you did, but feel free to enlighten me.
If you don't like the devolution of the conversation, then why not offer a thoughtful comment that would lead to meaningful discussion? There is no shortage of topics right now.

Heh, remember when people were upset that the Chief MEDICAL Officer of HEALTH got paid OT for working extra hours during a GLOBAL PANDEMIC?

How much was that payment vs what Manning will get for little work?

I doubt Sliver was in grade 8 by the mid 70s.

There is no truth left in politics. Not that there ever was a high bar for it, but it is clearly dead.

Unsurprisingly this is national news. Professor Sankoff is highly regarded including regularly cited by the Supreme Court of Canada. It will be interesting to hear his take.

Not that I'm condoning it, but if Trudeau survived interfering with the courts and judicial process, I think Dani will as well.

How can anyone buy any type of denial based on merely this alone?
Put on top of this all her comments leading up to being Premier, and during her time as Premier, and...
...I mean, really.
