‘The perception is Carney is a wartime leader’: why Canada’s PM could secure a majority
(www.theguardian.com)
I don't have a real issue with floor-crossing, since it's true to the principle that you're supposed to vote for the principle, not the party.
But it's pretty tough to deny that that's simply not the way most people vote.
"Slide fast" - suddenly I understand the sport!
They're still three seats shy, thanks to the resignations of Blair and Freeland, and the Supreme Court overturning Tatiana Auguste's election.
"Those conversations [with his family over the holidays] have been honest, difficult and deeply personal at times. But they also led me to reflect on the gravity of the moment that our country is living through — which our prime minister addressed head on in his speech at Davos. For Canada, this is a moment that demands steady leadership, constructive collaboration between all parliamentarians."
"After further reflection with my family, and conversations with colleagues and constituents, I will be continuing to serve in Parliament — and I will be working with Prime Minister Mark Carney as a part of his new government to help build our country’s strength as we face the challenges ahead."
It'll be interesting to hear what he has to say for himself.
Having been the one to originally use the word "accident," I should probably amend that to "habitual." A bad habit that people generally don't call, that the Swedish team doesn't appreciate (and is technically correct about).
Check out the article I shared - many high-level curlers don't consider it an infraction at all, let alone a major one. Even Oskar Eriksson, who made the original accusation, doesn't seem to think it's exclusive to Team Canada:
For us, it’s been a problem the last couple of years, so we think it’s good that everyone can play with the same rules. Hopefully it’s just getting better from this.”
It's a dumb thing to do, though, and I'd be happy if people cleaned up their acts across the board.
Yeah, as the article I linked indicated, a lot of players simply don't consider it an infraction, and therefore don't give a damn whether they do it.
And for probably the fifth time, I have no problem with the rule being enforced.
I didn't claim otherwise.
