Goings on in China!? The USA seems not the only one where power is being consolidated.
"The CMC, usually made up of around seven people, has now been whittled down to just two members - Xi and Gen Zhang Shengmin. That only Xi and one CMC general remain is unprecedented, according to Lyle Morris from the Asia Society Policy Institute.”

Poillievre's shrinking caucus made it to the BBC. It might be an interesting leadership review in January, but I honestly don’t see anyone else ready to step into his position if he was forced into a leadership race.
"Polling shows Poilievre remains popular with the majority of Conservatives, though that margin is shrinking. An Angus Reid poll released on Thursday revealed 58% of recent Conservative voters back Poilievre, down from 68% in August.”

Respect. (Updated with statement)
Guilbeault isn't perfect and had to go along with a lot of things, like TMX under Trudeau. But it is clear there were tradeoffs... I am willing to bet a northern pipeline and tanker ban was one of those tradeoffs for agreeing to buy TMX.
He should join the NDP or Greens.

"delivered papers for Calgary Sun”
“raised by a couple school teachers” (what the hell happened there?)

CBC now reporting (same link as quoted below) that Don Davies - Interim NDP Leader says he will have a press conference *after* the vote, but the NDP caucus will not be announcing how they will vote ahead of time.
The plot thickens!

This might be the most perfect meme in Canadian politics right now.

CBC reporting that Elizabeth May has said she will be voting for the budget tonight. Which means the Liberals only need one more vote for it to pass, or for two MPs to abstain.
Seems unlikely we will have an election from this budget vote... but you never know!

In the history of our slightly incestuous democracy, I wonder if more Conservatives have crossed to the Liberals or Liberals to Conservatives.

If you are into Canadian politics, even a little.. and/or into "Press Gallery" type political jokes. This 9 minutes flies by with Interim NDP Leader Don Davies. No holding back, self-deprecating, hilarious, slightly vulgar and absolutely brutal.
