I do wonder how much of this is prior angles not working, versus Lowan's Greens performing better than expected?

If you're going to do this, you start by prosecuting one CEO and pulling the company down around them. Musk is the best choice, he's already the Dems' enemy and plenty of valid criminal / security breaches. Break up the company, salvage the launch capability, salt the earth on the rest.

Seems like the Quebec electorate largely did figure out tactical voting, so I'll eat some crow. But a reminder, that voting to move a step closer toward secession remains an unfriendly act, in QC and AB.

On Oct. 13, CBC reporter Tim Ralphe interviewed Trudeau at Parliament. When asked how far he was willing to go, Trudeau famously responded "Well, just watch me." Two days later, Quebec requested assistance from the Canadian Armed Forces. 📸 Peter Bregg 🧵 6/12

Anytime some PQ dingus starts weeping about federal surveillance of secesh, you should remember the time the secesh kidnapped diplomats and killed a politician.

Jacob Rees-Mogg, father of six, declares he has never changed a nappy

Watching people hand it to Rees-Mogg. He and I would probably agree on a great deal, but I'm not going to respect a man with six kids who's never changed a diaper.

The top marginal tax rate will has grown under the NDP from 14.7% to 20.5% but they can't keep ERs open, they had to pause $10/day daycare expansion while blowing up the deficit. What is one more tax hike going to fix that the first several didn't?

New tax on millionaires to fund health care in B.C., promises NDP Leader Eby | CBC News

Anyone with two brain cells could predict a tax hike. And Lord knows one shouldn't trust David Eby's word. But this is both too narrow (4% of earners) and too small (~$1B new money with a $13.8B deficit).

British Columbia NDP Leader David Eby says his party will introduce a new tax bracket for those who earn $1 million or more to help pay for health care, if re-elected.

I dunno, you probably live in some kind of bubble if you need to make a job of finding someone with different politics and setting up a lunch. Nothing wrong with that, a lot of people live in bubbles.

Tigrayan rebels have abandoned the capital Mekele & have melted into the mountainous surrounding countryside. Which is what they did in November 2020, sparing residents from enduring urban neighbourhood to neighbourhood battles for the city. TPLF head Debretsion Gebremichael vows to fight on.

As you can guess from the handle, I'm pro YIMBY. But if general process improvement isn't an option, I'll vote for transit-oriented development & towers near skytrain. ToD is less bad than nothing, but also my place is in those circles and I'll take the value boost.

what the fuck do you mean STOCKWELL FUCKING DAY was the voice of reason here

At lower political levels, too, Republicans have taken notice. In mid-May, Stockwell Day travelled to Oklahoma to meet with state lawmakers who invited him to speak with them. Among the topics they wanted to hear about was Alberta separatism and the possibility of American annexation. Mr. Day, who once led the Canadian Alliance and held cabinet positions in both Alberta and Ottawa, told them he saw no chance of success for either outcome.

The meeting nonetheless persuaded him that American continental expansion has become a subject of genuine consideration in Republican circles.

“There’s serious interest in the U.S.,” Mr. Day told The Globe. That may not mean a Machiavellian plot to take over Canadian territory, but “there will always be those who look to capitalize on disruption.”
