I don't think I'd call it a "catch".

Carney said that Canadians who fail to file a return when they earn under the basic personal amount means Canadians “who most need benefits often don’t get them.”

Those benefits include the GST/HST tax credit, the Canada child benefit, the Canada workers benefit, the Canadian disability benefit and the disability tax credit.

*for low-income citizens who earn less than the basic personal amount

I agree, but...legally speaking*, I think they have a decent case?

*I'm not a lawyer, just your standard online idiot

we don’t have the technology or the expertise to perform the procedure here

I would say this is the part that's unreasonable. Being the only G7 country unable to perform proton beam treatments isn't exactly a point of pride.

It's definitely a case of NORAD working as designed. Which is good!

The fact that we're borderline amazed that it's working as designed is much less good.

Yeah, the most imminent air threat has historically been over the pole, which is why CFB Cold Lake exists.

The squadrons on Vancouver Island are for surveillance and search-and-rescue, which is entirely sensible for the coast.

Despite the move, Canada is still in active discussions with G7 allies to introduce an international tax, with Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne leading that work, the PMO said.

If this ends up happening, it's important context to this decision.

If it ends up not happening...pretty weak shit.

Moving the Coast Guard from Fisheries to DND is a sneaky way to add $2.5 billion to the defense budget without actually spending more money...

I certainly agree that it's very questionable to have an explicitly regional party in the federal debates, but for clarity's sake, the criteria are 2/3 of the following:

• having at least one sitting MP who's been elected as a member of that party

• having at least four per cent national support in opinion polls

• running candidates in at least 90 per cent of all ridings

After pulling the candidates, the Green Party only meets one of these criteria (the first).

As much as I agree that one doesn't "run for Prime Minister," and I wish everyone would stop using that phrasing...the party sure as shit should be running to form government.

This will probably be the only remotely positive thing I'll have to say about the CPC during this campaign, but good for them for taking out the trash.

And yeah, there's still a lot of trash left.

The leaders agreed to begin comprehensive negotiations about a new economic and security relationship immediately following the election. In the interim, the leaders agreed that conversations between the Minister of International Trade and Intergovernmental Affairs and President of the King’s Privy Council for Canada, Dominic LeBlanc, and the United States Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, will intensify to address immediate concerns.
