Elizabeth May passing out drunk would have liven the debate up somewhat.

Maybe already posted. This is the kind of of platform where Carney really shines.

This morning while walking the dog I ran into a neighbour of mine who's a retired Conservative MLA originally from rural Alberta. He told me that he is voting for Carney. First time in his life he hasn't voted Conservative. He's still conservative, just not a Christofascist one.

It took longer to find a parking space than it did to vote

When I found out I was put nearly at the front of the line in triage in a hospital's ER once, I got worried (I had internal bleeding). When you have to wait HOURS, it's actually often a good thing when you think about it.

yeah… too bad a platform where you’re given ample time to string together a few coherent ideas is undervalued
Imagine if your most recent job interview was a soundbyte driven debate with 5 other applicants

This is where you make a deal with some Cons voter to leave the line and both promise not to try to vote again

Trump ran on plastic straws too, so that checks out.

For those of us who don't want any part in fulfilling the rest of the F-35 contract, Saab has chosen a replacement engine for the Gripen E that is immune from ITAR requirements. They've picked the Rolls Royce EJ230 (an updated version of the EJ200 that's in the eurofighter). It was the runner up initially when Sweden went looking for engines for the C block upgrades. The EJ230 is more powerful and has thrust vectoring, but was more expensive than the GE engine they went with.
The new engines are available more or less off the shelf from Rolls Royce, and they also allow foreign licensing and construction so I would expect us to go that way if we pick the Gripen.
This is probably a no brainer decision tbh. The Rafale and the Eurofighter are fantastic 4-4.5th gen aircraft but way more expensive than the Gripen for not a lot (if any) additional capability that we need. As a bridge to a 6th gen fleet in 20+ years, this is probably the way and Saab + Rolls Royce both allow foreign construction under license so it would be an immediate big win for Carney to buy 80-100 Gripen's and announce it's all being built here.
Portugal just announced the flip from the F-35's a few weeks ago as well

100 would cost about 4 billion USD and is the cheapest to maintain of anything we would consider buying, probably by a lot.
