Carney is truly the Reagan of Canada. A calming, paternalistic figure in a period of apocalyptic uncertainty who galvanizes the economy with short-sighted right wing fiscal policies. And like Reagan, every disaster that Canada encounters in the future will be traceable to his administration.

If the "rude" label is any indication of how bluesky T&S will determine who is "toxic", then we can expect this to apply disproportionately to trans and marginalized users suffering under fascism and genocide. This will harm long-term users and not the sock puppets doing coordinated transphobia.

Look, I don't think the NDP is going to get to run against an obviously separatist candidate everywhere (Craig Chandler was his campaign manager) and they probably won't get a strong Tory party candidate either. But if they can win in Calgary-Shaw they can win anywhere in Calgary.
