@johnefrancis Yeah, I wondered about that. I had assumed he kinda changed his mind after the election, but his comment made me wonder if it was the other liberal MPs that changed their minds and he gave up fighting them.

@andrew @johnefrancis Oh, I'm not giving him a pass, I just thought they'd dropped it because he lost interest in it. If he hadn't and it was internal fighting... He'll probably write about it in his book 😝 but he really should have brought it back after a little while. Let it cool down for a bit, ok. Then go back and really work at it.

@mpjgregoire @andrew @johnefrancis We'll never get anywhere if everyone refuses any reform that isn't their preferred reform. I think we have to think about reform as a long, iterative process. It won't be perfect initially. Or ever, just (hopefully) small improvements that lead to an increasingly better system.

@evan No. However we have a birthday in the house on the sixth so I'll be baking a cake etc.

I put on a toque today for my morning walk :( some guy was running in short shorts so I guess it's not everyone 😜

Good article on the women's boxing controversy. It's just bad faith actors and media not doing their job properly, there's no actual eligibility issue https://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/summer/olympics-imane-khelif-angela-carini-boxing-controversy-1.7282002

Eh I'm not loving the boats. Giant boats carrying a few people seems excessive. I'd rather see the athletes walking 🤷🏼♀️ I was thinking they'd be cute row boats or something. I wasn't thinking ferries.

The Phantom of the opera seems to be running on the rooftops somewhere where the weather is better 😜

I was thinking the same thing as the commentators, you can't really see the athletes' outfits in the boats. I think the fashion part is the fun part! Without them walking you can't see much. The guard rails are blocking the bottom half. All that time designing opening ceremony outfits, and they just look like tourists on tour boats.

I feel like the male Cavan cancan dancers should be wearing short shorts

Pretty sure no one had a threesome on their opening ceremonies bingo card 😝

@leigh Here's hoping this gets them all to do this. I would like to see government instances too.
