Maybe I should've just said left. He even quit the party!

Justin's top advisors have been meeting with Trump's for months and there seems to be some progress on trade.

More on the shuffle that may be in the late spring: Dion might lose his current portfolio, Mihychuk is definitely losing hers, Freeland may not get Foreign Affairs due to Trumpian incompability. Chagger could lose Small Business. Possible Bennett and/or McCallum retire.

So far so good in WH relations, plus Mulroney & Burney are helping out.

Shuffle tomorrow.

Joe Oliver has lost the York Centre PC nomination. So far Calandra's the only former MP to secure a PC nomination.

Didn't Daryl Kramp win his nomination? Or am I misremembering that?

Oh yeah. Still Truppe and Gill left.

VCDS Norman relieved for leaking highly classified info, destination unclear.

KoK: He's 36, but who's counting? Tongue

Relationship with Trump is going OK, but we're upping defence spending and might be cancelling the Africa mission as goodwill gestures.

Keystone has been approved and Justin will be meeting Trump soon.

Democracy survey results have just been released, conclusions further my suspicion that they're planning their own FEA & will call that a day on "reform."

Don Martin predicts electoral reform will be formally interred within 2 weeks.

Wynne will veto Tory's plan for DVP/Gardiner tolls.

Whoa: Brian Jean would be willing to step aside as Wildrose leader & run for leader of a hypothetical CPA *this summer*.

About a year ago in this thread, I asked what Trudeau and his party campaigned on, what they wanted to accomplish, what the Canadian people were demanding.

What is the status of it all now?

(I vaguely remember some form of electoral reform that people thought was shaky even then, some infrastructure/environmental work with a small price-tag, a small budget deficit being reduced, and something about First/Native Americans)

TrudeauMeter is your friend. Deficits are gargantuan for the foreseeable future, Harper's GHG targets have been adopted and a federal carbon tax is coming. Aboriginal issues - inquiry into missing & murdered women (MMIW) held but otherwise not a yuge change from Harper, despite a better tone. Electoral reform is dead.

Good for Ambrose.

I love how Forum tries to spin a 416 tie as good news for Wynne. Last poll that had similar 416 # also had Brown +19 provincewide. Tongue

Liberals have been the Natural Governing Party (TM) for 120 years, easy to be relaxed when everyone works within your paradigm.

But I wonder how much is elitism/complacency/out-of-touch... and how much is that almost every liberal dream has been accomplished already in Canada.

The latter is what I'm getting at.

Government and Mulroney are trying to secure the release of a Chinese-Canadian billionaire but the case is politically hypersensitive since he's caught up in CCP internal politics.

Oosterhoff is being challenged by someone he squashed for the PC nomination last year. Vote's tomorrow night.

Budget 2 weeks from tomorrow will focus on skills training and needless to say there's a political strategy too.

Ivison's hearing airport privatization will be included as he predicted.
