Coming to terms with the fact that while it was really cool to have follow backs from a few people I hold in high regard back in that other place, it doesn't really matter as I usually don't post anything anyway 🇨🇦

Stephan Harper settles into the wingback chair by the fire, the leather creaking beneath him. He takes a sip from the oversized brandy snifter at his elbow and checks Hungary election results. His phone clatters to the floor, it's screen shattered; a single tear rolls down his grey, unmoving cheek.

It's kinda interesting to think about how differently Justin Trudeau and Stephen Harper have spent their retirement years
Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau at CoachellaOrbán Viktor @PM_ViktorOrban Had a great meeting today with @IDUAlliance Chairman @stephenharper. International cooperation between right-wing, conservative parties is more important than ever. Chairman Harper is a great ally in this respect. Thank you for your support, Mr. Chairman!

I find it incredibly ironic that Pierre Poilievre is against DEI when the only reason he is in parliament is because he parachuted into a riding that a cadaver running as a conservative would win with 85% of the vote. It would be really nice for a journalist to mention that fact to him.

If you think Tylenol is bad for children’s health, wait until you see what guns do.
Firearms were responsible for 20 percent of all child and teen deaths in the U.S. for both 2020 and 2021, compared to an average of less than 2 percent in similarly large and wealthy nations, according to a new KFF analysis. This puts the U.S. far ahead of peer nations in child and teen firearm deaths.

Data show that U.S. firearm deaths for children and teens again surpassed motor vehicle deaths – the second leading cause of death – and that the increase has been primarily driven by gun assault deaths.

On a per capita basis, the firearm mortality rate among children and teens in the U.S. is over 9.5 times the rate of Canada, the country with the second-highest child and teen firearm death rate. If firearm deaths in the U.S. had mirrored Canada’s rates between 2010 and 2021, approximately 30,000 U.S. children and teenagers would still be alive.

A child in the US faces higher death risks than other high income countries. Widespread guns are one, increased vaccine restrictions and hesitancy are another, and barriers to equal healthcare access are another. How a country looks after its children tells us a lot about its values.

Part of Poilievre’s issue is that Canadians get that how we present on the world stage matters far more as we move to open up our trading relationships. The anti-WEF no “globalist Davos elites” guy sounds at worst Trumpy, at best like a rube & that’s not going to fill Canada’s dance card or coffers.

April 12, 1876: The Indian Act was passed by the Canadian government.
The Act gave the government sweeping powers over Canada’s First Nations.
It restricted Indigenous freedoms and allowed officials such as Indian Agents to determine Indigenous rights. 
The main goal of the act was the forced assimilation of the First Nations into non-Indigenous society.

Reminder as we watch measles rates climb in Canada that *this* is Poilievre's attitude towards vaccination during a public health emergency. MMR vaccination has long been mandated for health care workers. Would a Poilievre govt ban the MMR mandate in health care during a huge measles outbreak?
Poilievre tweet from Jun 2, 2022:

Today I introduced a Private Member’s Bill to abolish all current vaccine mandates, and ban any and all future vaccine mandates.

Give people back their medical freedom. Let them take back control of their lives.

UNITED STATES & CANADA
A TARIFF WAR

Owing to the United States Government, under the new tariff, re-imposing the tonnage tax on the Great Lakes, Sir Wilfrid Laurier is about to retaliate. Although only one Canadian passenger line and one freight line are seriously affected by the imposition, many American vessels which carry grain from Port Arthur, on Lake Superior, to Buffalo, on Lake Erie, will be subjected to the Canadian tax.
