True that... And even though are slim the chances of taking the sixth, the one in Saskatchewan, it seems that, judging by the quality of the candidate, the Liberals are going for it
Six by-elections called. There is a world where the Liberals take five of them. They previously held two of them.

What is he? 5-years-old? What if the PM (after laughing, that is) says: 'no'? Are you going to tell him to meet you by the swings after school? #Juvenile
Pierre Poilievre in Ottawa: "I dare Mark Carney to come here and stand in front of this debt clock to show off the monstrosity that you are creating for this country, Mr. Carney, while you hand out more and more of our money to your corporate friends."

When she boldly and publicly declared there would be no more floor-crossings, they were already negotiating a massive floor-crossing crossing that included her, Rob Anderson, and Spanky. 1/2 #ABPoli
People seem to forget Smith sold out Wildrose & destroyed 2 parties. She'll do anything to reach for power. I have a feeling separatist half of #UCP will be making strong counter moves against her. #ableg #cdnpoli

This is the same argument they used against expending free trade with Ukraine Just because we have a deal, doesn't mean it can't be better Bob Fife is right: the single biggest mistake @PierrePoilievre makes every day is allowing Andrew Scheer to speak
Canada already has a free trade with Europe. Instead of focusing on getting the holdout EU countries to ratify it, Carney is focusing on summits and press conferences. Meanwhile, at home he is delivering a stagnant economy with rising inflation. Watch this 👇

FACT: Conservatives rarely ever have a plan, even less a better one
🚨 ‼️ Carney Liberal plan is: Spend twice as much as Justin Trudeau. Conservatives have a better plan…

Votre campagne de peur mise à part, je choisis de continuer sur la même voix Merci Nous n'avons plus besoin de vous
Les Canadiens auront un choix clair à faire lors des prochaines élections partielles. Soit continuer sur la même voie avec les libéraux de Mark Carney : des coûts plus élevés, une hausse de la criminalité et une immigration hors de contrôle. Soit choisir le plan des conservateurs pour vous faire économiser, protéger votre emploi, assurer votre sécurité, réformer le système d'immigration et rétablir la promesse du Canada. Choisissez de mettre le Canada d'abord.

I have known Pierre Marc Johnson, former premier of Quebec and former leader of the Parti Québécois, for 20 years. When he speaks about international negotiations, I listen. We worked together on the softwood lumber dispute in 2006 and later on the free trade negotiations between Canada and the European Union, when he was Quebec’s chief negotiator. We even travelled together to a climate change conference: he represented Quebec, while I was part of the Canadian delegation on behalf of the Prime Minister of Canada. Yesterday, in an interview, he confirmed what I have been saying all week: showing up matters. An official dinner is an opportunity to build relationships, convey messages and speak directly with decision-makers. On the opportunity Quebec’s premier would have had to sit beside Ursula von der Leyen, these were his words, translated from French: “It would have been an opportunity to spend two hours discussing Quebec’s issues with her.” A missed opportunity. If there is one person in Quebec who understands Quebec’s role in Canada’s international treaty negotiations, it is him. He was at the heart of those negotiations. On this file, as far as I’m concerned, his word is gospel. Listen to him.

No shade on Cormier intended but this is such a wild candidate swing for the Liberals to go from Guilbeault to a former Desjardins CEO.
As former President and CEO of Desjardins, Guy Cormier brings exceptional economic and social leadership. He’s ready to build a stronger future for Laurier—Sainte-Marie, Québec, and Canada, with Mark Carney and our Liberal team.

A satirist created a false, incendiary social media post, attributed to Jacinthe-Eve Arel, the new chief of staff to a Quebec government minister. It falsely claimed she would give her vote away to a man ( Eric Duhaime- Conservative Party). Radio Canada reported it as if it were true. CBC -Radio Canada’s responsibility to the public here is not complete I’m afraid. An apology from Ms Hebert is not terribly relevant. To regain credibility a person in a position of responsibility should explain how it passed, or in this case, failed, editorial verification. Please describe the chain of editorial decisions that allowed this fabrication onto its airwaves. And how it will prevent that from happening again.
Une erreur regrettable mais qui va inévitablement se répéter. Les excuses de Radio-Canada sont aussi les miennes.

Standing next to him is the Federal Director of the CTF who attended a Poilievre fundraiser previously. Here’s what the CTF website says about political affiliation:
Pierre Poilievre is taking Mark Carney and the Liberals out-fundraising him about as well as expected

Your hyper-dramatic fearmongering aside, I choose more of the same Thank you You can go now
In the upcoming by-elections, Canadians face a clear choice. More of the same from the Carney Liberals: higher costs, more crime, and out-of-control immigration. Or the Conservative plan to save you money, save Canadian jobs, keep you safe, fix immigration, and restore the promise of Canada. Choose to put Canada First.

However, that was before the UCP unmistakably signalled that it planned to implode
I lost count of how many times Thomas told me and others that he was NOT going to start a new party or get back into politics. But now he’s circulated a survey to Forever Canadian supporters suggesting that’s EXACTLY what he plans to do.
