Let’s just remember. They aren’t Canadian waterbombers picking up water and dropping on California wildfires They're insanely well trained and skilful Canadian pilots, risking their lives, to pick up that water.

- I've never flown anything, but I assume that skimming along the ocean while your plane gets 1,000 kg heaver in eight seconds - and not killing yourself - requires some impressive skills.As a 40+ yr pilot I can tell you this is EXACTLY like flying a combat strike These guys are heroes ...Each flight they put it all out on the line The 1st idiot who says "well no one is shooting back"..You have no idea the dynamics of flying into ~100 kt winds, mountains &embers
- Forcing people to quarantine at a hotel and at their expense doesn't mean an end to travel. It means an end to travel for poor and middle class people.
- So … Canada was the country violating USMCA these past few months?
- So the guns that were already illegal are now super duper illegal?
- Striking at Hamas’ leaders is uncontroversial to me. Letting terrorists become college professors - that’s controversial.
- Just a reminder: every citizen has the right to leave, remain in or enter Canada. It's in the Constitution.
- If CSIS can brief The Globe, I’m sure they could have briefed those of us involved in the leadership race.
- Something you won’t get from a CBC News”fact checker”.Bloomberg is validating that the Poilievre plan is more fiscally responsible!
- So it turns out that Pierre Poilievre was right about Harrington Lake after all. Good to know.
- The interview is also a good reminder that Jordan Peterson is the most-watched, most-listened to public intellectual that Canada has ever produced.
- As Covid continues to tear through families, terrifying spouses, children, parents and friends, I wonder: will we ever find out who decided to bet our country's health on China's ability to produce a vaccine?
- How bad is the SNC story that it causes the Clerk to muse about assassinations. In public.
- You might consult a first year textbook to learn that prorogation always results in confidence vote. On the throne speech.PM says the difference between his decision to prorogue Parliament and Stephen Harper's...is that Conservatives did it to avoid a confidence vote...whereas he will have a confidence vote when Parliament returns on the date it was scheduled to return.
