Oh great.

a bunch of years ago, our Prime Minister was John N Turner.
In Canada, Prime Minister still needs to be a duly elected Member of Parliament (ie. win his own riding).
At this time, the ballots could only have the candidate's name on the ballot - not the party.

So his riding was in Vancouver, and some joke party - Rhino Party if I recall correctly - (it's very cheap to register a candidate here)
put up a candidate named John L Turner. When asked what his platform was, he replied "a skateboard"

I think he came in 2nd in the riding.

The Skaterboy Turner actually came 5th, sadly.

They did finish second once on their own merit in 1980, in the Montreal riding of Laurier that was later held for 21 years by BQ leader Gilles Duceppe showing that voters there were truly insane and not afraid to show it.

C'mon, gang. We are counting on you! Enough messing around... get the job done.

I saw that and my first thought was "What the fuck?".

I wasn't aware there was any tension between Canada and Saudi Arabia. Just read up on it though.

Silly thing to threaten another 9/11 over.

It's stupid all around - Junior is sticking his nose where it doesn't belong by criticizing SA's human rights and their detention of some activists, so SA cut off diplomatic relations and will now plow a 737 into us. Tit for tat, really.

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is expected to issue a proposal in coming weeks that would make it harder for legal immigrants to become citizens or get green cards if they have ever used a range of popular public welfare programs, including Obamacare, four sources with knowledge of the plan told NBC News.

The move, which would not need congressional approval, is part of White House senior adviser Stephen Miller's plan to limit the number of migrants who obtain legal status in the U.S. each year.

Stephen Miller’s next target: Legal immigrants

Is that the equivalent to “it’s complicated”

Hey, it sounds better than "special place in hell" so relations are getting better

This is probably related to the Tavares thing.

Figured they'd be happy to be rid of that Mexican!

Heh.




Watching the results come in in the local election, and all the coverage keeps saying that the Republicans could have a problem if the "Suburban Educated Voters" around Columbus turn out en masse.

They need to avoid smart people.

If your strategy is to avoid people who are educated, you are not winning. No matter the result.
