In many ways Mark Carney is proving to be an excellent Prime Minister for Canada at a critical time in our nation’s history. But he also might be the smartest man in the world to act really stupidly about #ClimateChange at a critical time in world history.

I am hot and tired, so allow me to be blunt. If you support remigration, if you support removing some people's rights etc etc, you are a bigot. Nature of my work is finding that 5% level we can all agree on and build from there, but don't be shocked by being called a bigot when you side with bigots.
