There's been a real generational shift in the debate on nuclear energy among progressives. Young progressives didn't grow up in the shadow of the Cold War, but in the shadow of catastrophic climate change we need nuclear to address. Massive electrification + great jobs = a brighter future for youth.

At this point, has Mark Carney made any decisions that Pierre Poilievre wouldn't? So far he's playing nice with Trump, promising massive cuts to federal programs so he can spike military spending, and passing multiple bills of dubious constitutionality. An absolutely deplorable record so far.

When he first got elected, I thought Danko was a bit of a centrist technocrat, which isn't a diss, they're often really useful in getting things done. Somewhere along the line he morphed into an angry populist with an enemies list & a passion for DOGEing 'undesirables'. Kind of sad, really. #HamOnt
