THE PAIKIN PODCAST: How should history remember the Freedom Convoy?

115

Unruly, undemocratic, creating hell and sleeplessness for thousands of downtown Ottawa citizens. They were all Pollievre Conservatives who were involved in anti-Canadian seditious behaviour. Every single participant should have spent some time in jail.

Poilievre blames prime minister for 1,000 Algoma Steel layoffs

SooToday

I just can't stand that whiny baby any more. He needs to step down so that real conservatives can retake the Party and come up with solutions instead of complaints.

Mark Carney’s Liberal government to table first budget today

59

Why? It's not going to please everyone and there's going to be some belt tightening but Carney is the only leader I can trust to help us weather the Trump years.

VIDEO: Yes, Canada does need to prepare for possibility of U.S. military action

61

I agree with some of what you say. But I'm impressed with Carney out there working to build and strengthen relationships. In less than a year, he's got the EU Strategic Partnership, the Canada-Quatar Economic Partnership, and the Canada-China Trade Deal. Not a lot but a good start. The ev car deal with China is a good hedge over what Trump might do to our auto industry. Our deal with China may lead to using future idled assembly plants to further assemble Chinese ev cars to North American and EU standards.

POLLS: Liberals hold a steady lead, and other poll insights

A vote for Carney is a vote for democracy. A vote for Poilievre is a vote for Trump.It all comes down to that.

@GM Not true. I had been a CPC supporter for decades. Never voted for Trudeau. You are, though, partially correct. I am now fully aligned with the Carney Liberals.

Speed cameras should be mandatory in every school zone.

I don't like the way it was handled by the federal government but that does not nullify the behaviour of the truckers who should have been immediately arrested and detained.

Shoemaker confirms he will run for mayor again in October

SooToday

61

Good luck to all candidates in all races. Each person deserves credit for making their lives public in order to serve.Mr. Shoemaker and several counsellors have taken some deserved criticism and a lot of undeserved criticism. There are so many things that municipal leaders simply cannot control, like the past two winters.Keep your minds open, citizens. Listen to what each candidate has to say. Don't listen to unfounded rumours. May we be served well.

There is only one person responsible, and he's not Canadian.

Breakfast Pig owner pushes city to try a different food supplier

That is an excellent recommendation, Ms Caputo. Our local restaurants should also consider changes in suppliers.

VIDEO: Are you a student who depends on OSAP? Your debt load is about to soar

53

When I got OSAP a hundred years ago, I'm pretty sure the grant to loan ratio was close to the reverse, even though I had come from a very low income single parent household. However, I am not going to say that what was good enough for me is good enough for others.Post secondary education should be free for every Canadian, just as it is in many EU countries.

Yesterday was 'an incredibly difficult day' for Algoma Steel: Garcia

SooToday

38

Very insightful and no-nonsense. Thank you. We should feel some reassurance that Algoma will have long term prosperity since it can get temporary assistance from our federal and provincial governments. As Canada transitions away from heavy reliance on U.S. trade, so will Algoma Steel.

Child’s vaccination records not up to date? Expect a letter from Algoma Public Health

SooToday

The anti vax movement continues to mystify me. I'm old enough to remember two kids in my neighbourhood who had polio. Measles and whooping cough were also extremely dangerous. My parents were thrilled when the schools administered vaccines so that the whole neighbourhood was safe.

PHOTOS: Elbows Up rally in the Sault celebrates all things Canadian

SooToday

45

I attribute the spread of Elbows Up rallies to the recently retired NDP MP Charlie Angus who is promoting them across Canada. These are non-partisan events. Some of you wish it was partisan so that it can be criticized. This was not a Liberal event. Terry Sheehan chose to go. Hugh Stevenson could have chosen to go.

Defence investments could be huge for Algoma Steel, Vic Fedeli says

SooToday

52

I support what Fedeli and the Ford government are doing for our steel mill and our community. Now, with proximity to steel and tubular products, Springer Aerospace and JD Aero, and a good college that can produce a qualified work force, the Sault needs to attract drone and other defense manufacturers to build secondary manufacturing facilities that we desperately need for long term stability and (dare I say it?)... growth.

COLUMN: Navigating news in the age of misinformation

That brings to mind why non-university educated white voters are Trump's biggest base. Critical thinking needs to be taught in all U.S. high schools (and Canadian) to create a better functioning democracy.
