No more for me, but you have a wonderful time. You know, it is Friday. Take a break, visit a pub. Go bowling, play pool! Meet people. Nothing better than human interaction. Is there a student union at the college? They must have good deals on beer. Check out! It'll be fun! I promise!

Cool math. It's a free hobby. Beer is expensive and unhealthy.

Half my life? I wish!

Crombie didn't have to win the province, but she needed to win her own riding. The fact that she lost in a community where she should have had a strong campaign team on the ground from her time in federal and municipal politics is less forgivable. I doubt she survives this.

I wasn't going to reply again, but I can't let that go. Moderate consumption of beer is very healthy. And it's not expensive. Anyways what's $20?

Answer: Less than $14 American. Oh my goodness, I kill me.

I have no idea what your age is. But your syntax and cadence would suggest a post 1990 birth. Ciao.

I want to see Nate Erskine-Smith in that chair.

Bondi, Gabbard, Noem, Leavitt? Very talented and competent.

It's time for common sense, not cackling and not disturbing grins when illegally freezing bank accounts.

One of the more surreal posts I've encountered on this forum. Must suck to be so entrenched in the MAGA cult...

The only thing healthier than consuming beer in moderation, is not drinking beer at all..

The American left uses that term as a perjorative. I can't understand it myself as the term is in fact quite positive. Putting aside political differences, it is better to try to achieve a renaissance, or just continue to have managed decline? Is 27th good enough for you. How about if we slide down a bit more, as is forecast, but are still in the top 40? Still good? Will you still be smug and sanctimonious?

She was Mayor of Mississauga for 9 years and lost in her home riding. She definitely needs to go.

CBC tell you that? Probably. Canada has the most pathetic media in the English speaking world.

Actually most studies show that moderate consumption of alcohol is healthier than not drinking at all. Heard of the French paradox? Why do the Irish live longer than Canadians despite consuming more alcohol?

If you don't want to drink, don't, I don't care, but don't say it's unhealthy.

M O D E R A T I O N, my friend.

For goodness sakes, please don't tell me you're still banging on about safe and effective like the state-funded Canadian media. So backwards.

He's a federal cabinet minister now and will be running for re election in a safe seat. Probably has his eyes on a bigger prize than Premier now.

Maybe JT ought to run for leader of the OLP? He's gotten back a bit of the shine after his tariff speech and has lived in Ontario for the last ten years now.

Can't help yourself eh? As a regular beer drinker I can assure you "moderate consumption" is not "very healthy". But I suppose scientific evidence isn't your strong suit.

I'm not really plugged in to the situation but the opposition parties in Ontario seem to be in shambles across the board. I guess they have a few years to figure things out.

So perfect of you to pick Ireland, it's just behind Canada on this chart:

Alcohol is unhealthy for you, in any amount. Of course one beer a week has a very minimal impact, and it pales in comparison to other things in life, but to call it healthy in moderation is just lying to yourself.

Such a loaded term, used to justify all kinds of behaviour. Here's a good read for you:

I’m certain 41/100 is not literally half.

You think that those 41% will all of a sudden now not support PP and move their support to the Liberals. I’m fairly certain that won’t happen.

I hope that the poll here is not how most Canadians will vote. Trudeau and the Liberals have destroyed the Canada I know. The only space the Libtards should be occupying is a prison cell. Also. Men should not be in women's bathrooms, and men should not be in women's sports. Anyone who thinks differently should not be allowed to vote.

Agreed. He should have won in the first place.

According to your profile you’re in the USA so why should anyone here give a flying f@@k what you think?

Still I guess we should be thankful you’ve only graced us with 29 posts over 14 years.

Instead he hangs out with white supremacists and racists
