It is yet another double-stuffed episode as there was just way too much news
Messy: The Québec provincial elections kicks off today. A Parti Québecois majority win on October 5, 2026 puts national unity back on the table in la belle province
Messier: Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe had the opportunity to be true leader in the Canadian movement resisting U.S. threats to our sovereignty. While he didn't chicken out totally, he makes the choice to miss (take a pass on) the moment
Messiest: 5 MLAs have left the B.C. Conservative party over the past two weeks as newly-elected party Leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay executes her promised purge of the impure
And if we have some time, we'll check in with some übermessy as the US Trade Representative, Jamieson Greer's, hilariously shameless reframing interview with Rosemary Barton (if not today, we'll do it tomorrow for sure)
