A small town's worth of Indians came to Canada on a study permit & never went to class. Where are they & what are they doing?

For those who don't have access to the Globe, I'll break it down a little 👇 theglobeandmail.com/politics/artic…Image Some used the study permit as a backdoor route to work & settle in Canada. They claimed asylum if need be. Image

Mark Carney just wrote his own attack ad.

The millionaire governor of two central banks, an Oxford & Harvard-educated, in-law of hereditary peer Lord Rotherwick, is using Trudeau's closest advisors to help him win the Liberal leadership.

🧵 on the self-proclaimed "Outsider"👇 Image Let's start from the top. Here he is with then-Prince Charles, now King Charles III. They've met multiple times. Not much more 'insider' than the King. express.co.uk/news/royal/740…Image

Former Lib MP @frankbaylis has declared his intention to run for Liberal Leader.

You may remember his company - Baylis Medical - was part of a consortium which got a $237 million sole-sourced contract during COVID to provide 10000 ventilators.
hilltimes.com/story/2025/01/… The contract went to FTI professional Grade, a company that was 7-days old & had two employees.

It was then subcontracted to Baylis.

The Baylis ventilators cost 10k more than the US model they were based on.

Overall the contract was said to cost $100 million more than it should have.

Who gets a pension if the next federal election is after October 20th?

Here's a list ⬇️

Let's dig into it a bit. Long 🧵.

Please give it a r/t & let's get it out there. Image A few things about the list before we start.

First, I have tried to be thorough, but if there is an error, please comment & I will r/t it. I want to ensure accuracy.

The names scratched out are no longer MPs and they didn't qualify for a pension.

Names with * are not running again & have voted to bring down the government, thereby forgoing the gold plated pension

Conservatives @GeraldSorokaMP & @GaryAVidal are the only brave two to do this.

** means they were elected previously & already qualified for a pension.

One NDP, one Bloc, & 3 Tories fall under this category.

I remember about a year ago Liberal Twitter was all ablaze because some AFN delegates turn their back on Poilievre.

Now they're heckling Trudeau.

The one obvious difference is that one has had ten years to do something, whereas the other isn't PM yet.

The reality though is 🧵 There are 600+ reserves in this country. With each Chief plus whomever else, the National AFN conference is a big one.

Some Chiefs are hugely pro-Conservative (usually from the more successful reserves), some are far-left NDP, but I would estimate most are (unenthusiastically) Liberals.

4 of 5 "Independent" Senators have strong Liberal connections. One was a Liberal MP. Let's stop the charade. 🧵 Roger Cuzner, former Liberal MP. Image
