So, I guess the Greens are back to being a de facto regional party now?

Nonetheless most of Western Canada generally has a right wing party (BC Liberals, UCP, Saskatchewan Party, and Manitoba PCs) vs. NDP, but Eastern Canada has not gone that route. 

What, Eastern Canada doesn't have right wing parties? Or am I misunderstanding what you're saying?

I assume he means that the NDP being the main opposition to the right is more of a western phenomenon, while the Liberals are much stronger in Ontario (2018 excepted) and eastwards.

Most of Biden's foreign policy has been pretty loathsome in my estimation, but his willingness to stand up to Trudeau's oil worship, even if it turns out to be disingenuous kayfabe, is a rare bright spot in the post-neocon morass.

Speaker election today, 7 candidates.

Anthony Rota (Liberal, MP for Nipissing-Temiskaming 2004-2011 and since 2015; incumbent Speaker since 2019)
Alexandra Mendès (Liberal, MP for Brossard-La Prairie 2008-2011 and Brossard--Saint-Lambert since 2015; Assistant Deputy Speaker since 2019)
Marc Dalton (Conservative, MP for Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge since 2019; BC Liberal MLA for Maple Ridge-Mission 2009-2017)
Chris d'Entremont (Conservative, MP for West Nova since 2019; PC MHA for Argyle 2003-2013, Argyle-Barrington 2013-2019; former provincial Cabinet minister)
Joël Godin (Conservative, MP for Portneuf--Jacques-Cartier since 2015)
Carol Hughes (NDP, MP for Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing since 2008; Assistant Deputy Speaker since 2015
Elizabeth May (Green, MP for Saanich-Gulf Islands since 2011; Green Party leader 2006-2019)

Interesting in that if Elizabeth May becomes Speaker that could be the death knell for the party at the federal level.  They have the one other M.P in Kitchener, Mike Morrice, but he doesn't seem to be interested in running for the leadership, and, while this is purely speculation on my part, he seems to be more of a pragmatic environmentalist, the exact sort of person the Liberals would attempt to woo to their party.

May stepping down from leadership in 2019, with hopes of pursuing the Speakership, is what killed the party already. Atwin's gone, Manly (Nanaimo–Ladysmith) lost re-election earlier this year, and Morrice's win was of course only due to the Liberal in his riding not being viable. Paul's leadership was a disaster from which the party doesn't seem fit to recover.
