Who Asked for This? ‘CAN’ Licences + Carney vs Poilievre

from The Discourse · host The Discourse

Alberta wants to stamp “CAN” on your driver’s licence. Is this bold reform or a busywork boondoggle? We rip into the talking points, the "election integrity” spin, and the weird real-world places this could follow you (hotel desks, gym sign-ups, you name it), and does a digital wallet actually fix problems, and a three-letter badge doesn’t? Then we head to Ottawa, where Carney vs. Poilievre returns to center stage: has the tone shifted, is the “austerity + investment” budget a masterstroke or a trap, and is the honeymoon officially dead, or just getting interesting? We finish on Alberta’s municipal elections: parties on the ballot, polls in your feed, and a big shrug from voters. Who wins when nobody’s watching?
