3 Minutes That Matter: Manitoba PC Failure, Trudeau's Montana Trip, The Blue Jays

Canada's loudest Conservative Bull Horn is not a human being. It's a paper - The National Post. They are warning Conservatives Nationally not to do what Manitoba Progressive Conservatives did - not to demolish themselves with dumb messages that make conservatives ashamed of their party, reluctant to support them, prompting many to stay at home or vote for someone else. The Post doesn't need my help. But I will offer it with Mathematics 101. Roughly 67% of voters live in the city and suburbs of W...

3 Minutes That Matter: JD Vance, Jimmy Carter, The Toronto Blue Jays Make The Playoffs

JD Vance is a smart person, an educated person, an author. Unfortunately, this highly educated author in the highly polarized political system that generates boatloads of buffoonery is offering crazy talk on Russia and Ukraine and why people support the latter. JD Vance on Twitter says "A lot of the anti-Russia obsession on the left has nothing to do with Ukraine. It’s a revenge fantasy over 2016. They blame Russia for Donald Trump’s election and they’ll bleed Ukraine dry for payback." My respon...

3 Minutes That Matter: Danielle Smith, Doug Ford, President Zelenskyy in Ottawa, Jimmy Carter

In the fall of 1971 a man identifying himself as DB Cooper hijacked a plane flying from Portland to Seattle. He said he was carrying a bomb in his suitcase. When they landed he allowed the passengers and crew to get out, shook down the airline for 200,000 dollars, more than a million dollars in today's money.

3 Minutes That Matter: Pushy Poilievre, E. Coli in Calgary, Morocco and Libya Devastated

Pierre Poilievre is feeding new rubes from the same old bag. That's the impression I get reading Thomas Mulcair's comment for CTV. He served as NDP leader in the same House of Commons where a young Harperite named Pierre Poilievre was serving his political apprenticeship as an MP from the Ottawa area, and a junior minister in the Harper Government. About Poilievre Mulcair say "They can lose the glasses, drop the tie, slow the cadence & reduce the Brylcreem." Those of us who got to know his o...

Are you ready for some seriously professional football?

3 Minutes That Matter: Interest Rate Pause, Proud Boy Sentenced, Destitute Canadians

Interest rates will likely be paused by the Bank of Canada. That's the Bay Street Wisdom after the latest monthly numbers showing Canadian economic activity contracting. I said contracting. When the economy slows down and is doing exactly that, it's not a time to raise interest rates. The Bank of Canada will next week announce where it stands. But it will likely stand down on the idea of pushing interests rates up. It might even tell us that the interest rate increases have indeed put the brakes...

Auston Matthews, Connor McDavid and Wayne Gretzky. No Canadian is wondering what those three have in common. But aside from the great gift of being able to put the biscuit in the basket, they have been able to put many biscuits on their bank balance sheet by a side hustle known as endorsing online gambling. But Ontario's Gaming commission is calling an offside and so no more appearances in Ontario for active or retired NHL stars as of the end of February of next year. This week Canada's Small Bu...
