Johnny “Euro Hoser” Renton @johnnyrenton.bsky.social · 23hI’ve come to the conclusion that no matter what country they are in Euro/Commonwealth Green Parties have an incredible ability to shoot themselves in the dick anytime they get the slightest bit of momentum or potential opportunity. Just a nonstop series of self owns all across the globe 110

Johnny “Euro Hoser” Renton @johnnyrenton.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Aside from this being yet another anti-Canada escalation by America, this is also a really dumb plan. Having a winter residence in Florida isn’t a must for those people. They can just sell, go to another state, or leave the US altogether (and many will over money). Then what happens to your budget? 111

Johnny “Euro Hoser” Renton @johnnyrenton.bsky.social · 03/10/2026It is worth noting that public opinion has changed *a lot* in the past 2 years. A case in point are the number of people who now understand a Dem president in ‘28 isn’t going to change much. Should more people be *really* concerned? Yes. But people are getting there at different speeds. 2151
Johnny “Euro Hoser” Renton @johnnyrenton.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I get that people are trying to be “sensible” and not trying to turn the Alberta into a complete political powder keg (and look…I get it…there is a case to be made for that strategy) But after the referendum (and the US midterms), can we get fucking ruthless with these people? 1124574

Johnny “Euro Hoser” Renton @johnnyrenton.bsky.social · 02/10/2026One thing that ditching American podcasts has made me realize is that there are a lot of very good Canadian current affairs and politics podcasts out there. And not just very good by Canadian standards, but very good period. 480

Johnny “Euro Hoser” Renton @johnnyrenton.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Lol Just a thought. Maybe its not getting coverage because not only are the other candidates boring, but so are you. It’s just as much Lombardis job to bring life and public interest to the leadership contest as anyone else. Clearly he didn’t. And if you watched him it’s easy to see why 020
Johnny “Euro Hoser” Renton @johnnyrenton.bsky.social · 01/10/2026When I see US visitor numbers all I can think about is the small business owner from a border town in New York who said “why are they(Canadians) punishing regular people when it was the president that caused this”. He also voted for, & still approves of, Trump These numbers can never be low enough 0183

Johnny “Euro Hoser” Renton @johnnyrenton.bsky.social · 30/09/2026If the CPC lose Brantford and that doesn’t trigger the end of Poilievre then having them lose Parry Sound-Muskoka will certainly do it.

Johnny “Euro Hoser” Renton @johnnyrenton.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Everytime I hear the NDP (be it federal or provincial) talk about housing policy all I can think is “do we need to dynamite this party and start again?” I know lots of non-online, irl social democrats and most have a really smart, common sense understanding of housing.

Johnny “Euro Hoser” Renton @johnnyrenton.bsky.social · 24/09/2026So I know some people are probably getting politics fatigue. And thinking about the Alberta referendum can be maddening for how stupid it is. But… This podcast about the AB separatist movement is already starting off strong. And there are some excellent journalists behind it. 061
Johnny “Euro Hoser” Renton @johnnyrenton.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I think I may just go offline until after the US midterms (and not just here but more broadly). It feels like no matter what I do news/discourse/psychosis about the mid terms is still getting through.

Johnny “Euro Hoser” Renton @johnnyrenton.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Just watched Carney’s press conference with the Norwegian PM (yea I know that’s nerd shit)….

Johnny “Euro Hoser” Renton @johnnyrenton.bsky.social · 20/09/2026At this point, I don’t see how NDP can justify *not* calling an election. When close to a majority of the electorate has had their previous electoral choice disappear in disarray and chaos, you need a new election. Otherwise you’re governing without an elected opposition. 100
