Obama made an in-joke that only lands with those of us who have been to a Cheesecake Factory, since it requires insider Cheesecake Factory knowledge to be funny. Elites not understanding it and acting outraged on our behalf makes it even funnier.
MacCallum: The Cheesecake Factory comment goes exactly to why Democrats lost the middle class, why they lost blue-collar voters. Because it's kind of a guns and religion clinging kind of comment and it turns a lot of people in this country off

The biggest lie in politics is that conservatives are strong fiscal managers. They never have been and never will be.
Remember when Ontario kicked Kathleen Wynne to the curb because Doug Ford said she had huge deficits?

Damn. I mean… damn.
Barack Obama decided to hit Pete Hegseth with the elbow from the top rope. Absolutely brutal takedown.

Mulroney got his ass handed to him on X for this inane post. And rightly so. Go back to Hollywood gossip, Ben. In your lifetime, you'll never come close to contributing to society what this man gives in a single day.
Never met another ER doc who tweets as much as this one. He must have a machine that folds time and space. Seems to have found an additional 24 hours in every day, just to tweet.

Please see my statement on the establishment of the defence, security, and resilience bank. Canada and international partners will gather in Luxembourg on November 30, 2026, to sign the Articles of Agreement establishing the DSRB.

This sentence by Dostoyevsky never fails to hit hard: “You sensed that you should be following a different path, a more ambitious one, you felt that you were destined for other things but you had no idea how to achieve them and in your misery you began to hate everything around you.”

For the first time in two decades, Canada’s First Ministers and First Nations leadership are meeting. Our focus is clear: what we can build and deliver together. Major infrastructure. More homes. Better health care. Safer communities. Better preparation for emergencies. Building a stronger, fairer, and more inclusive Canada for all.

Serbia's longtime leader Aleksander Vučić has been swept out of power by a historic student-led opposition movement, sparked by the collapse of a train station in 2024. The Student List "wiped out" other opposition parties, says journalist Lela Vujanić.

Her revelation was not a surprise to anyone who was paying attention. Nor was her incompetence.
BREAKING: Interim Liberal leader John Fraser says he is “disappointed” by Bonnie Crombie’s suggestion in last night’s @readpolicorner story that the Liberal label “wasn’t a good fit” for her. Fraser says “it’s a little surprising to hear.” policorner.ca/p/a-mississaug…
