Discuss:

1. Regardless of polls all over the map, and the challenges afoot - I think two things are clear about the upcoming federal election. It is a TRUE heavyweight fight...we all think the "next" election is a critical one in turning the country's sails in a certain direction - but this is going to generate a ton of interest, eclipse voter apathy and indifference, and we probably will all be sick of the slogans, the platforms, and the mud-wrestling. Yes? Huge interest? Especially in stark contrast to the recent provincial election?

2. It's a bit inside - but the first two appointments by Mark Carney.....old-school Liberal cabinet ministers who fell well out of favour in controversial circumstances in the Trudeau era - Marco Mendicino as Chief of Staff to Carney, and David Lametti, the Justice Minister who had some embarrassing secret texts revealed in the Freedom Convoy/Emergencies Act era when the Inquiry happened regarding government direction. Like, right away - not sure you're telling Canada...you're moving along and so many lessons have been learned!

3. OIivia Chow did not attend the scene of the shooting in Scarborough this weekend.....I know, I know - we spend a lot of time on where she is, what she goes to, and how she explains it away afterwards - her myriad of explanations for snubbing the October 7th vigil were......not awesome - what about this one?

4. We need more public bathrooms AND garbage bins in Toronto - this gets us on the road to one of the two, does it not???
