Looking for new posts…
Stats Can says Canada lost 42,000 jobs last month. Unemployment rate unchanged at 6.4%. Manufacturing one of the few bright spots.
FTR, U.S. added 162,000 jobs in August and their unemployment rate, measured differently than ours, is 4.1%.

Interesting comments from Fraser.
I think Strauss joining the Ontario Liberals is weird and a problem for Poilievre.
What I also find weird is that despite Poilievre being an Ottawa MP for more than 20 years, Fraser can’t say his name.

Sometimes I hear the questions folks in our media ask and am gobsmacked.
It's not only the question, it's that he kept pushing after getting an answer.
As the Admiral rightly put it, this was an emotional question.
Took the name out because I was told I might have it wrong.

Calling Canada shitty and cheering on a foreign leader attacking ours all in one video.
This is so incredibly stupid.

Insults from Lutnick this morning.
Now White House makes sure to rush out the video of Trump trashing Canada, Trudeau, Carney and not naming Doug Ford but referring to him as a slob.
I'd say Canada is living rent free in Trump's head.

GOING VIRAL: 🇺🇸 US admiral responds to a Global News reporter's “preposterous” notion that U.S. President Donald Trump might seek "military action" to annex Canada. “Would you ask me please, also, what my attack plans are for the martians,” said @SJPaparo. https://t.co/wvVNQ7fs9T

I mean, Ontario’s Minister of Transportation is responsible for…transportation in Ontario.
He has nothing to do with Trump.
As for Ford, he’s talking lots about Trump and some people love it.
Others wish he’d stop.
Chow is detached from reality.

#UPDATE: Olivia Chow responds to province starting work on reversing bike lanes in Toronto.
"The Province of Ontario and the Minister of Transportation should be laser focused on dealing with Trump." https://t.co/uBvTOGFqSc

@brianlilley @rickvey We can’t that’s why they need to be defunded. I’m very curious who instructed CBC to do that tho and I find it very alarming Carney is staying silent.

@brianlilley Can’t trust an organization that has wilfully destroyed its own credibility.
To be honest CTV and Globe and Mail and others are no better.
All activists now, not news outlets.

@brianlilley “How can we trust them?”
I don’t.
I think the CBC should be defunded.

The Carney government wants to use CBC to fight misinformation.
But CBC journalists can’t even call 9/11 a terrorist attack.
How can we trust them? https://t.co/oya5q21nhk
