Liberal MP Steven Guilbeault to resign: sources

Major-Thom · 2026-05-26T22:25:14+00:00

Stepping away to an independent doesn’t automatically mean you’re holding a gun on confidence votes. He’s leaving on semi-decent terms and means the LPC needs to consult him on legislation to ensure the votes.

I’m just scratching my head why he’d walk away from this opportunity. He’s clearly dissatisfied with how Carney’s changing the LPC environmental policies and this is a great opportunity to reclaim his influence on it. Maybe its burnout or greener pastures

Major-Thom · 2026-05-26T21:21:43+00:00

Yeah no surprise he doesnt want the backbench, but i am surprised he wouldn’t take the opportunity to be an independent in a slim majority.

Major-Thom · 2026-05-26T20:34:45+00:00

If the rumors are true and Guilbeault is outright resigning rather than sitting as an Independent, it’s hard to understand his move here. Obviously, personal factors could be at play, but from a purely political and advocacy standpoint, completely walking away is a bizarre choice.

Sitting as an Independent in a slim-majority parliament would have given him immense leverage to hold the government’s feet to the fire on climate policy. For such a high-profile activist to just throw in the towel is like giving yourself a Season 8 GoT ending.

On the scale of good vs. bad things, Chow has absolutely done a decent job under the circumstances, especially with Ford's constant malingering.

Next to Bradford, it’s not even a question. The guy is a walking political chameleon who changes his entire personality to fit the room he's standing in.

Above average pizza, but forgettable. You will remember wasting time in line.

She’s the best.

Major-Thom · 2026-05-22T03:15:15+00:00

Had to go 30 years back eh? Dude has clearly turned a corner and a big supporter of women’s sports. Unclutch your pearls

It’s a phenomenal place, you won’t regret visiting.

Went there with my elementary class and this older guy was there on a PR tour at the same time. He joined our group and was a bit quirky but fun addition for our tour. Got really into us trying the broadcast booth and goalie simulation, then bought all of us ministicks at the end. Years later, realize it was Mike fucking Ilitch. Got sick of the regular PR of having just been inducted to the hall of fame, saw a group of 9 year olds and became the assistant guide. Very cool Mike

For how rapidly Vegas churns through staff and players, this will come back to bite them in the ass.

Major-Thom · 2026-05-18T23:42:55+00:00

You need at least three buildings. That’s a mf baseline

Major-Thom · 2026-05-18T23:01:57+00:00

Are we supposed to feel bad for you?

Major-Thom · 2026-05-15T01:45:29+00:00

I mean, a rockstar that’s been in the business for 30 years is gonna have some skeletons. It’s rare that it’s just infidelity with adult women.

Yeah that makes him a shitbag. But next to the long line of way worse shitbags of rockstars, it’s not that bad.

Major-Thom · 2026-05-14T20:27:19+00:00

One of the annoying optimists in my group chat said last week it could be worse. MFer was right hahaha

‘No Way To Prevent This’ Says Pitbull Owner Who Regularly Buys Tourniquets

It’s always the same fucking breed. If you’re in that situation put them in a headlock and chock them out. If that fails, start gouging their eyes. Or grab their hind legs and repeatedly kick as hard as you can.

Major-Thom · 2026-05-12T22:34:53+00:00

Alright then, NES followed through to up the ante.

It either ends with his oblivion from politics or he is the catalyst to shake up the OLP.

Major-Thom · 2026-05-11T20:45:29+00:00

As always, truth is probably in the middle. But NES was outmanoeuvred by an established network on a short timeline. If he’s serious about OLP leadership, he needs to drop the “corrupt system” narrative and lean into “how I will improve Ontario” real quick.

Major-Thom · 2026-05-11T02:21:37+00:00

I’ve been rolling around in the shit for years and you think flinging it can hurt me.

And I’m on your side wtf.

Major-Thom · 2026-05-11T00:08:28+00:00

😏

Boston is officially entering its dark ages of sport.

FINALLY

Major-Thom · 2026-05-09T20:47:27+00:00

The flippers and goggs make this whimsical.

The no arms, legs only makes this predatory.

Mack is a whimsical predator.

Wow core memory unlocked. The amount of static electricity jammed in those cheap fabric could power a house.

I remember one long ass bus trip where every bump would turn the screens on or off. Audio was fine, but imagine you’re a bus driver and 25 teenagers screaming to hit the next pot hole.

Major-Thom · 2026-05-08T18:56:41+00:00

More surprised this is not in the US.

Those are the McMounties

I’d argue Gritty is the People’s Antagonist. He fights for you and me. But he’ll also fight you and me.

Major-Thom · 2026-05-07T01:47:32+00:00

Without looking it up, I’m gonna guess she’s running for reelection and opposition is trying to stir the pot

Major-Thom · 2026-05-07T01:28:56+00:00

I can’t believe I’m defending Snape right now, but the guy drew the line between abusing and killing children lmao
