“The road to success is never a straight line,” Poilievre said in a victory speech Monday night in Camrose, Alberta. As if he’d know. More than 20 years in politics and not a single achievement to show for it. Not one. Just a trail of anger & falsehoods. #poilievre #mendacity #cdnpoli

Consumption tax hikes are surely needed, but here’s a free idea: How about raising the taxable amount of capital gains above $250k from 50 to 66.7%? A solid revenue source that’d only affect a very wealthy few, only to a trivial degree. Oh, and carbon? www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

If there is one lesson to draw from the history of fascism in the interwar period in Europe, it is this: Democracy falls if and when mainstream conservatives and centrist/center-right elites decide to make common cause with extremists because they consider the “radical Left” the more acute threat.
