"Of all the safe injection sites in all of Canada, he walks into mine", mumbled the frustrated actor.

Any long distance relationship will have its ups and downs, especially when there are tempting distractions across the continent.

Hah, nicely put Ted. Happy to have you rounding up the usual suspects here.

"I've often speculated why you don't return to India. Did you abscond with the temple funds? Run off with a minister's wife? I like to think you supported killing a man in the Air India bombing. It's the romantic in me."

"It was a combination of all three."

"Now with the Supply and Confidence Agreement is dead, you have to get on ...without me. I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of 40 million people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. JT, some day you will understand that. Last night, we said a great many things that only add up to one thing. You said that I was to do the thinking for both of us. If you don't leave ... you'll regret it. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon --for the rest of our lives."

"What about us?"

"We'll always have Pensions....".

Hah, loved this one, Karen! It’s the first thing I thought of when I was tipped off by about ten minutes to yesterday’s news.

My speculation is that Singh was facing a caucus revolt. The rank-and-file Dippers have finally had enough of the hypocritical B.S. and gave him an ultimatum.

The Non-Democratic Party itself 'has no clothes'.

I hope that Poilievre has cooked up a way to back Singh into a corner, in the Commons, to force a successful non-confidence vote upon the Lieberals.

Also, it would be a beautiful thing to see Singh denied his pension after all of his self-serving machinations.

I'm not holding my breath, but, that would be a sweet thing to witness.

Cheers.

I think there’s some truth there, Peter, from what I’ve been able to surmise from talking to some folks — and the latter statement would indeed be the cherry on top! Unfortunately, I think that’s far-fetched, but dare to dream. We’ll all continue to chip away.
