Politics Corner November 25

No one can quite figure out why the Conservatives are opposed to updates to the Canada-Ukraine trade deal that all stakeholders want implemented.  Their claims that Canada is imposing a Carbon Tax on Ukraine is weaksauce; Ukraine has had carbon pricing for over a decade and is actually trying to expand the program in the midst of the Russian invasion.   In any event, it seems like an unforced error that's allowed other parties to ask if they're getting marching orders from MAGA Republicans.

Rage Poll!  Who knew such a thing even existed.  Oh you're upset about your provincial governments, Alberta and Ontario?  Data from both those elections suggest you should have paid more attention and made better choices, and/or actually got off your butt and voted. (Toronto Star Incognito).

On Friday I was a bit befuddled as to why the Thai PM was announcing the release of hostages in Israel, but it turns out 54 of the hostages are migrant workers from Thailand, brought in to Israel as part of a policy to limit Palestinian labor and further reduce the need to engage in meaningful peace talks (Quartz)

Political discussion welcome.
