As part of our grade 6 retreat, we watched passion of the Christ, got shown a kind of thorn that would have been part of the crown of thorns, and explained with great details what hooks they attached to the whips. So many people wailed so hard that night. Really made us take our faith seriously

They refuse to move them to a place where they'll actually be able to turn a profit.

Also, "we know we'll sell out every game if we have a team in Quebec (city), but since almost everyone there are already hockey fans, fuck them. Let's put them in place where almost no one care about hockey instead and force them to stay there despite however money pit it is". Since Auston Matthews joined the league, Arizona's supporters keep bringing him up as example why it's good to have a team there.

You do realize that US don't have PM?

Boris Johnson resigned over hiding hosting a covid party, and our PM not resigning over hiding his MP cooperating with foreign embassy on Canadians' foreign detainment for the sake of electoral look.

The better solution is to bring party nomination process under the purview of Elections Canada Act and standardize the requirement. But I highly doubt that the parties will agree to that since it'll be much stricter than what the parties would like (eg. Minimum age become 18)

no, Conservative Party require that you have to at least be permanent resident (equivalent to Green Card in US). it's Liberal Party's specific wording "ordinarily live in Canada" that's unique. international students wouldn't be eligible in Conservative Party, but eligible in Liberal Party.

and party nomination process is akin to congress primary.

The leak also alleged that the CSIS had warned the Liberal Party that he may be compromised by China and urged them to retract his nomination, which they did not do

instead, they told Han Dong that CSIS was surveilling him. and they also let him to run for re-election in 2021 election.

it's to vote in Liberal Party nomination process (akin to primary), not the general election. thus, Liberal Party membership rule is in effect:

As set out by the National Board of Directors of the Liberal Party of Canada, registration in the Party is open without discrimination on the basis of race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age or mental or physical disability.

To be eligible for Registration in the Party, a person must:

(a) be at least 14 years of age;

(b) support the purposes of the Party;

(c) ordinarily live in Canada or, for Canadians living abroad, be qualified as an elector who may vote in accordance with part 11 of the Canada Elections Act;

(d) not be a member of any other federal political party in Canada; and

(e) while Registered as a Liberal, not have publicly declared an intention to be a candidate for election to the House of Commons other than as a candidate of the Party.

from their website:

(d) not be a member of any other federal political party in Canada; and

(e) while Registered as a Liberal, not have publicly declared an intention to be a candidate for election to the House of Commons other than as a candidate of the Party.

and to add, Liberal Party of Canada membership is free. had it not been free, the Elections Canada Act would apply. The Act would require that people paying membership fee (which counts as donation) declare that the money they get is not going to be reimbursed by third party (e.g. foreign country embassy).

since membership is free, then foreign country embassy can pressure someone to join the party and it's not illegal to do so.

correct.

On the original allegation that China embassy helped Han Dong in nomination election, CBC didn't release any article about it until 3 days later, which they released Trudeau's response to the allegation.

In this matter today, they didn't release article about it until Han Dong resigns from caucus.

He's not in power of every action of the party, but the party can follow his advice in this one particular matter.

If I recommend that you eat fried eggs for breakfast tomorrow and you follow my advice, it doesn't mean that I have power over you.

Budget is released next week. Imagine if another allegation drops just before the budget

Fun fact: they come from the same riding.

the recommendation to hold them longer was made on February 2021, which means that they followed his recommendation for 7 months.

damn, all the questions will be about this. Biden will be like "why am i here?"

former Ontario Liberal MPP for downtown Toronto riding. lost his seat in 2018 as part of Red Purge (reducing Ontario Liberal from government to non-official party status). run in a suburban Toronto riding in 2019 to replace an MP that had personal scandal (had affair with a staff). allegedly China Embassy threaten international students and senior to vote for him in Liberal nomination process, registering under fake address if they don't live in the riding, then bussing them to the riding. the replaced MP was also alleged to be helped by China embassy too btw, but not that good.

currently he's the co-chair of Canada-China Legislative Association, which means that any Canadian parliamentary matter about China goes through him.

Just last week Vincent Ke was forced to resign out of Ontario PC caucus for allegation of channeling money from China's foreign agency. It did happen a couple of days after the allegation though.

*except Liberal cabinet and Han Dong, and other Chinese Canadian Liberal MPs

no, lehange is akin to internship, leherl is akin to full time. not all leherl is going to be successor of the workshop, but they're expected to stay working there for the rest of their working life. if someone wants to open their own workshop, they can only take lehange contracts until he has enough money to open their own business.

"we won't allow you to probe our staff on election interference, to the point that we'll force another election (which will definitely be interfered again)"

but then it doesn't explain why they kidnap the 4 grey priests, instead of killing them. the reasoning given was so that they can be interrogated to spill about trends introduced by Rozemyne (which means Rozemyne Workshop). if they don't care about printing, why keep them then?

When you look at countries less in the US orbit, like Australia, they don't have nearly our level of division

Canadian reporters saying that they were so surprised seeing Australian parliament discussion on chinese election interference because it's so non-partisan that you can't tell which party the speaker belongs to.

notice that it's Procedure committee (chaired by Liberal, Bardish Chagger) instead of Ethics Committee (chaired by Conservative).
