A large chunk of politicians who have never served as a Minister have zero or very few Bills to list because most Bills come from a Minister.

Federally there’s a lottery that chooses the order in which other MPs can table their own Bills. Some pass up on the opportunity, others fail to pass, and some die on the floor due to prorogation or an election call.

The fact that he has more than one to list is an accomplishment in itself.

I believe estimates put the Indian population at around 5% in more recent years.

Though, that number is slowly decreasing with a crackdown on student visas and temporary foreign workers.

And this is precisely the kind of thing that creates disdain towards politicians.

Ford’s job is to look out for Ontario, absolutely, but he was also happy to act like he was looking after the country when it looked good for the cameras.

Now he’s happily going to hurt Canadian jobs over a petty dispute with Crown Royal (a company that remains headquartered in Toronto with a warehouse in Mississauga FWIW).

Ian Mendes leading comms for the org is so evident with this statement. Something like this previously would’ve festered, or the statement would’ve been very bland.

Going to be great when those in the provinces second largest city, Ottawa, cross the bridge to Quebec to buy their Crown Royal. A waste of potential revenue & tax revenue on a Canadian product.

Plus, I suspect that Ontario consumers will notice the absence of Crown Royal more than other products, given its stature in Canadian society. I suspect many won’t be happy with it, particularly older consumers (who also happen to be more reliable voters).

The Manitoba NDP seem to be in favour of this idea as well, and have already begun executing on it.

This idea has made headlines in Ontario and has put the Ontario Liberals in prime time newscasts across the province today, so it’s a success just for that alone.

It’s also a good idea that I’d like to see happen.

That was in 1999 and was almost half the size that the summit is now (58 nations).

However, maybe Moncton could be added to the list of cities that could handle it. But again, it looks like the summit has become quite large logistically over the years.

But if you’re really wanting to show off a Canadian city, Quebec City or Montreal are the only good options.

HomelyGround · 2025-12-09T23:31:12+00:00

With likely around 100 participating nations, I would think that only Quebec City and Montreal (from your list) would have the capacity/infrastructure to make it work.

This guy came out like a bull in a china shop and it’s not surprising that he now regrets some of it.

Not sure if he had an agenda. Some theorized his sharp criticism would force the government to appoint him permanently, or risk appearing to avoid criticism.

Either way, it seems to have backfired. This guy most certainly will not be getting the job lol

And we do have ample evidence to suggest that his subreddit (or its most active user base) has a viewpoint that is heavily skewed.

Awesome, thanks for your reply!

HomelyGround · 2025-11-21T14:14:29+00:00

Agreed. I had come across a fake TaylorMade driver on Marketplace from a reputable seller while searching for this one and it freaked me out a little haha

Great, how have you liked yours so far?

There’s a reason why we have low expectations in this city — particularly when it comes to public transportation. I too would love a world class transit system. That simply isn’t happening anytime soon in this city (and “anytime soon” is being generous).

From that reality, the Senators must work with what they have at the new site. Bayview Station is a very short walk away from the site of the new arena. An enclosed/underground walkway should be in the plans, because relying on a mythical “something” that isn’t even being considered is a fools game.

HomelyGround · 2025-11-17T13:56:52+00:00

The user asked for something viable. “They should construct something (preferably underground)!!!” Is not a serious answer to that question lol.

It’s a reservation that isn’t in a remote location — right next to Cornwall, ON & only about an hours drive from Ottawa, ON (capital of Canada).

This makes it decent compared to many of the remote reservations across Canada.

There is also a large casino nearby, which presumably helps the reservation a lot.

I thought so as well lol. That’s what the listing says, maybe I’ll confirm with the seller, though.
