A thread 🧵... C.S. Lewis wrote, "the death of a beloved is an amputation”. Ghost pain follows: the ache a love gone. Reminders of existences obliterated. After 40 years it's also a reflection on how Canada has, and hasn’t, reckoned with the worst terror attack on its own people

He needed to go harder if he is to succeed in a general election. There is very little time for him to effectively take the fight to Poilievre if the Liberals mean to close a 30 point gap with the CPC. One mention was not enough to break through.
