Today, I’m entering the race for Ontario Liberal Leader because I believe Ontario can still win. But not if we keep ignoring our big problems.

you should be able to block political content completely.

There is a direct, inverse correlation between how many times the word 'intellectual' appears in a man’s bio and the actual quality of his thoughts.

If you only hold or promote seeing past partisanship, depolarization efforts, & civic pride when traumatic disasters hit like in Tumbler Ridge, you likely aren’t helping.

Canada ought to deal with the world as it is, not how we wish it to be.

I love when our MPs divide us up into demographic categories instead of treating us first and foremost as human beings & Canadians.

Most people debate to win, instead of discussing to find truth. That's why talking about politics with most people is useless.

Hot take: Social media should not allow anonymous accounts. It leads to less productive discussion as people (and bots) say much less kind and thoughtful things when there's no human face to have to say it to.

I often hear people say, well who would replace Pierre? I say: There is an endless pool of world-class Canadians across private & public sectors, and elsewhere. If the CPC limits itself to MPs and party insiders, it draws from an unnecessarily small pool.

Chief Logician @ LogicLens.ca @jacoba.ca · 02/02/2026
Pierre Poilievre could beat Justin, almost anyone could have at the end. Pierre cannot beat Carney. The CPC need a new leader to win over the silent supermajority of Canadians who are moderate and/or swing voters.

Chief Logician @ LogicLens.ca @jacoba.ca · 02/02/2026
Hot take(?): If Canada had a viable moderate party, filled with Red Tories, classical liberals, etc., it would almost never lose. That is where the supermajority of Canadians are, and no party consistently represents them.

Unfortunately that is simply untrue. You needn't identify with a political tribe to oppose or counter nazis. That does not logically follow.

Chief Logician @ LogicLens.ca @jacoba.ca · 30/01/2026
This makes me wonder if a 'Red Tory' (a more moderate conservative) may not be as welcomed by the party's base. That's a big deal because that's the kind of candidate the party needs to win government, whether it recognizes it, likes it, or not.

Chief Logician @ LogicLens.ca @jacoba.ca · 30/01/2026
It's also worth pondering what the last 10 years of polarization post-social media has done to the party and it's chances of winning. Poilievre more than previous CPC leaders has leaned into polarizing rhetoric (other parties are not innocent here either).

Chief Logician @ LogicLens.ca @jacoba.ca · 30/01/2026
An interesting but unsurprising dynamic can be found in the Canadian Conservative Party today. It's leader, Pierre Poilievre is very popular with the party, but he's quite unpopular with the voters (apoliticals, moderates, non-partisans) his party (and any party in Canada) needs to win government.

Nor does that even take into account that this calculus about Canadian energy is just incorrect. But even if that wasn't the case, if Canada wants to be a country, we puts our interests first, not the globe, period.

This is the viewpoint I contest when I say Canada ought to be unapologetically selfish. Canada is not a global charity. Mr. Landau's view was dominant in the last decade. Thankfully Canadians learned what that self-flagellation does to our economy, unity, & security.

We need to uplift this high-quality content. Especially in political discourse. I believe I’m not the only one yearning for this. Follow me and let’s show the algorithm we exist. Together we build a new standard.

We are in a new intellectual time. People are desperate for honesty as platforms incentivize exaggeration & inauthenticity. People want nuanced, original thoughts, not pseudo-intellectuals rebranding the same talking points.

When MPs act as 'Customer Service Reps' for specific demographics rather than leaders of a whole nation, they inadvertently turn the Canadian mosaic into a collection of silos.

If politicians pay increased attention to a group when they are aggrieved, they incentivize that group to find grievances to get attention.

We should talk more about incentive structures & human psychology. Politics is just downstream from this.
