Today's News: Provincial elections; and another friendly sausage-maker moment

We've had two provincial elections in the last week -- BC was a squeaker for its progressive party, but New Brunswick was a resounding progressive success.

Canadian Media today: BC elections reflect the political state of Canada, and it doesn't look good for Trudeau.

Canadian Media tomorrow: NB elections reflect 100% local issues and do not reflect the political status of Canada.

I expect the buyer's remorse in BC will be epic, within about three months:

Meet the extreme, far-right BC Conservative candidates who are now legislators following BC’s wild election

Numerous BC Conservative MLAs associated with extreme, conspiratorial and bigoted views were just elected in British Columbiahttps://t.co/7YbJfQyhum #bcpoli

NB restoring a little faith in the electorate after BC shattered it in my own provincial election. Thanks for sharing, Ruth. Even if the results don't go the way I might want them to, I still want people to vote. A lot of people in other parts of the world don't have the luxury.

Alison is asking the right question:

After the BC election & now NB, when will Pierre Poilievre resign? How long can he hang on?

(Am I doing this right?)

There was absolutely no reason for this interview or giving this man a platform to keep up the alleged foreign interference operation.

Why the Hell is @CTV presenting this man as "serious" in any way, directly counter to the interests of the nation? https://t.co/g6wtzziO47

Its beginning to remind me of the "friendly sausage maker" who broke into the Rideau Hall grounds in 2020 to try to kill Trudeau, but luckily the family wasn't home, and afterward Canadian media were like, "well, shrug -- no harm no foul, his neighbours think he's a nice guy really...."
