A real leader would have had Canadians ready to put in a war-like effort to avoid being dominated by an authoritarian United States. Carney has wasted SO MUCH political capital. Canadians were ready. They probably still are. But we have weak, ineffectual, or complicit leaders.

This is a profound continental divide. Canadians overwhelmingly view other Canadians, even those unlike them, as being good people. Americans, more than any other country, view their neighbours and fellow citizens as bad people. Anti-Americanism flourishes in the United States

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Every fucking headline from every fucking media organization gets this story fundamentally wrong. The Trump regime threatened, and ABC caved. Kimmel didn't say anything about Kirk that was remotely offensive. This is censorship by a fascist president abetted by a cowardly mega-conglomerate.

In 1933 Nazi Germany passed the Schriftleitergesetz, which required media to follow mandates and instructions handed down by the Propaganda ministry. It required editors to omit from publication anything “calculated to weaken the strength of the Reich abroad or at home.” #JimmyKimmel

If I'm Carney I put one stipulation on calling an early by-election to accommodate double loser Pierre Poilievre, he must gets a security clearance. Should he decide he doesn't want one, it's his choice to stay out of Parliament. It's a reasonable ask. #cdnpoli

Canada, if you really want to put Poilievre and his alt-right populism to bed for good, give the Liberals a win and make it a majority. If Liberals win a minority, he’ll stick around, disrupt our country with havoc and we’ll be in another tiring election in less than a year.
