Government of Canada representatives from the Security and Intelligence Threats to Elections (SITE) Task Force will provide a technical briefing to media, to update on the general election 45.

No lies detected.

If it hadn't been for the "Mrs Flood will be in every episode" bit, I may not have shared it at all.

I've liked what Carney has said outside of the campaign - in his meetings with European leaders, he's been talking about this new status quo we find ourselves in as a permanent change in the global order, rather than a four-year blip.

On the campaign trail? I can't say that he's been particularly inspiring so far.

Based on the time of her death and new information about where her remains were placed, police said they believe Shingoose's remains were taken to Winnipeg's Brady Road landfill in March 2022.

Police said they've reached out to city and provincial leadership to start discussions about doing a humanitarian search for Shingoose's remains — a search they said they support and are committed to being part of, though discussions about what that search could look like are still in early stages.

For what it's worth, 338 Canada considers the riding an NDP/Liberal toss-up right now.

Sure, but I think...

Smith was, let's remember, a media pundit in her past career(s) — known to workshop or test-drive different ideas or theories live on air. Rhetorical spaghetti flung on the wall.

...covers that pretty effectively.

I don't think so. It delves a little into "politics as sports," which I never appreciate, but Jason Markusoff isn't prone to carrying water for Smith or the UCP.

Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play?

Based on your description, I don't think your father would have qualified for MAID in its current form - recipients must be able to provide informed consent immediately before receiving medical assistance in dying, with very narrow exceptions.

That seems like a little much - there's plenty of foreign media that produces worthwhile content.

Blacklisting certain outlets, on the other hand...
