The opposition leader lives in the official residence in Ottawa anyway.Canada doesn't have the.. you have to live in the state/ district to run for election in the state/ district??
They haven't joined the cult.Australia has a similar reversal for their Conservatives do in part to the Trump effect. Months ago their Conservatives were leading in the polls, and after Trumps rampage against the world, the Conservatives lost big, including the leader losing his seat.
The opposition leader needs to be elected though. He can be party leader but would lose his right to reside at Stornoway. Apparently losing the election AND your seat wasn't enough of a message though for PP.The opposition leader lives in the official residence in Ottawa anyway.

Never. My caps going to win it all. …. Or lose in next round. At best a casual fan 🤣Was kinda hoping the Sens would beat the Leafs, then the Caps, then the Oilers. For symbolism's sake.

Carneys a smart man, they don't put you in charge of central banks in two separate countries if your not!Carney basically aced that test. Masterclass in underhanded compliments and rhetoric. At the surface it looks like a compliment, but anyone with N+1 braincells recognizes the implication.

Felt bad for Carney being forced to listen to a loonytunes bumbling dementia patient ramble about nothing for 90 minutes. It must be infuriating to sit next to the "leader of the free world," who happens to be a mumbling idiot. Refreshing to listen to a world leader that can provide a measured and articulate response to a reporter's question rather than nasty, moronic gibberish.
Nobody knows more about hockey than Trump. Alex Ovechkin is from Canada!
Yeah but, how did standing behind the flawed candidate work out in the south ultimately? He got steamrolled first try. Won in 2016. Then lost his third try. But here we are.But Scheer is less nutty than the 2 party leaders that followed him. But scary is that the conservatives won’t give Poilievre the boot and start from scratch. Funny how they are calling people who voted for a 4th term liberal government as stupid but ignore them standing behind such a flawed candidate just like our neighbours to the south
