Prorogation? Resignation? Liberals vow to push through House impasse as speculation swirls on the Hill

NewsBY CHRISTOPHER GULY

Liberals are pouring cold water on speculation that Parliament will be prorogued. However, such a measure, combined with a prime ministerial resignation won't save them, but it could put 'them back in the game,' says pollster Nik Nanos. He also says if Trudeau steps down, the race to replace him could attract cabinet ministers from Quebec where the Liberals have the best chance of winning seats in the next election.

We all live in Tampa now, and we all need to find higher intellectual ground than indifference

There is, of course, a deeply human dimension to the issue at play in places like Florida and California. It is plainly traumatizing to force people to move away from the place they have either lived all their lives, or chosen to live. Spirit of place and a sense of belonging are real and powerful things. But so are the facts of climate change.
