I filled up at $1.38/L this morning. Meanwhile I scored gas at $1.40/L 10 days ago.

I hope people will finally realize it wasn't the "carbon tax" that was inflating prices. It was greedy gas corporations finding an excuse to gauge consumers.

Conservatives are excellent at disinformation.

@Sanderde I'm old enough to recall the BC provincial campaign of (I think) 1986: Bill Bennett was Socred premier so NDP picked Bill Skelly to run against him. Then Bennett resigned and was replaced by Bill Vander Zalm ("The Zalm"). NDP lost. Running against a different guy. That's what the Cons did: put ALL of their chips on #Trudeau's ego and that he would insist on running again.

#MarkCarney, fmr central banker-turned-centrist politician, triumphed over #ChrystiaFreeland, paving the way fo him to succeed #Trudeau as #Canada's PM. He is expected to be sworn in early this week.

Carney, 59, whose resume is filled w/decades of experience working at the highest levels of global #finance but has never been elected to public office, faces his 1st economic reckoning as PM–managing Canada's #trade relationship w/an erratic #Trump.

I'm on record as not being a fan of Justin Trudeau, in general. I've noted the reasons before, and they're not relevant to the rest of this post.

What I can say is that the last two months have truly been his moment to shine. He has taken the threat seriously, projected resoluteness, and said all the right things to bring Canadians together in this time of crisis.

He is going out at the absolute top of his game. And I think history will remember him for it.

If he was willing to take the job, I'm with the jokers who say our next Prime Minister should appoint him ambassador to Washington.

13/n “Freedom is not a given. Democracy is not a given. Even Canada is not a given”

Amazing that a Canadian Prime Minister would say this.

And he wraps up his speech to a standing ovation.
He will be remembered as a consequential, and I think positive, Prime Minister.

(I have to go now — former PM Chrétien is speaking now. He is 91)
“I am ready to fight!”

12/n Trudeau speaks for the final time as Liberal leader.

“Now as Canadians face, from our neighbour, an existential crisis… Canadians are showing what it is that makes us. By proudly embracing who we are. Standing up for everyone’s fundamental rights is the only way to preorder our freedom. “

“We are a country that wants people to be able to pray as they pray, and love who they love. We will always defend a woman’s right to choice. We will be a country that will be diplomatic when we can but fight when we must… ELBOWS UP”

(The crowd chants Elbows Up)

11/n Daughter of PM Trudeau (16yr old) Ella-Grace.

She is introducing her father. First time I have seen her speak publicly. Pretty interesting that she is willing to come and say her piece.

Will we see her in a future election?

“My brothers and and I have shared our dad with you, but now we’re taking him back”.

Well done young lady.
