Of the points raised in the video, which do you think aren't harmful?

Unilaterally cancelling immigration applications without any real oversight is draconian.

The video lays out a very concrete example of why the one-year limit on asylum claims is not a great idea.

I would think that eliminating "barriers" to forcing electronic service providers to hand over user data to law enforcement should be relevant to the interests of most Lemmy users.

Making it easier for the police to seize and open mail is...concerning.

”Pew, pew, pew, pew, pew.” The middle of the battle against the Rev-1 seems like an odd time for Murf to imitate someone complaining about “Star Trek: Discovery”, but he does seem to have things handled.

I couldn't understand him because he was whispering, and I couldn't see him because it was too dark, and also he was too woke. Is that a Bingo?

outside Canada they need to be better promoted as Canadian.

Interesting - what do you see as the benefit to that? I'm not disagreeing, but I hadn't really considered it before.

One thing that needs to happen is the Conservative traitors to stop lying about and maligning the CBC.

Big yup.

The Nova Squadron cadets are practicing a maneuver called the Boothby Supernova, named for the venerable Starfleet Academy groundskeeper, who perished in such a maneuver, as per “In the Flesh”.

To shreds, you say.

I think something like that is happening - available rooms are being prioritized for evacuees with medical or accessibility needs, as the article says.

The issue with proactively evicting people is...those people have to go somewhere, too.

"I ask all levels of government, please come together, work together, ask that these hotels and these accommodations make space for our people. We are in a state of emergency, you can give that directive."

I find this a little confusing - are they to "ask" the hotels to make space, or are they to "direct" them? Those are two very different things.

And if it's the latter...is there a legal way to do so? This is an honest question, I have no idea what the answer is.

A decent chunk of his argument is simply to push back against this...loudly.

Finally, it is time to start calling out a lot of provincial grievance for the rank bullshit it often is.

Thanks - I find the "reformed" Senate fascinating.

Perhaps "urban" is the wrong word, but it ain't exactly Cestus III, y'know?

 

Today, the Prime Minister, Mark Carney, spoke with the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.

President Trump congratulated Prime Minister Carney on his recent election. The leaders agreed on the importance of Canada and the United States working together – as independent, sovereign nations – for their mutual betterment. To that end, the leaders agreed to meet in person in the near future.

 

Interesting choice for first official phone call.

 

Overall, Canada's pollsters continue to be very good at their jobs

Special congratulations to the Mainstreet team this election!

Jamie Ellerton, a Conservative strategist who worked for past leader Erin O'Toole, said Poilievre is likely to hang on to the leadership at this point — although a possible Liberal majority call could complicate things.

"I think he has rock-solid support among the party membership," Ellerton said in an interview.

Other Conservatives say Poilievre's future is to be determined, given the Liberals will live to see another day and victory slipped through his hands.

"This is a big loss to a tired government that's been in power for 10 years," one senior Conservative source who worked for Poilievre in the past told CBC News.

"The guy couldn't do what needed to be done. He utterly refused to acknowledge that the ballot box question had changed to the bitter end," the source said, referring to the U.S. trade war.

 

The warning to Singh, first reported by the Toronto Star, came nearly a year before former prime minister Justin Trudeau claimed Canada had evidence linking Indian agents to the killing of Canadian Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

Singh, who is also Sikh, told reporters the RCMP did not specify who was behind the death threat "but the implication was a foreign government."
