Behind every #MarkCarney cheerleader's assertion that his meek, #ElbowsDown cowardice is smart statesmanship is a fundamental misunderstanding of how Trump has NEVER respected his subservients & ALWAYS rolls right over them.
PM Trudeau showed no weakness and won most exchanges with him

Last year, I signed 4yo up to a "1000 Books Before Kindergarten" challenge. Ignoring all the books I had read her up to that point, we just finished book #1000 in 12 months. We finished the challenge with "The Woman Behind the Magic". So proud of her ♥️

I wasn't a big fan of the Liberals or of Chretian but was very happy that he did not go along with the bs about WMD. I was proud of him that day. I like listening to him now. He's a pulls no punches kind of guy.

"'Elbows up' turned into stares of disbelief at the measures posited by Carney’s Liberal government. It’s one of the most profound political reverses on the Canadian public, proving that while Carney charms us in the front, he is stripping our rights behind our backs."
My second piece for the Guardian in a month! As promised, I wrote about Bill C-2 the border bill and how it’s MAGA-inspired

Canadians said no to Trump – so why is Mark Carney pushing a Maga-inspired border bill? | Erica Ifill
If it goes ahead we will see the construction of a surveillance state that is in some ways worse than the US, writes political columnist Erica Ifill

I’m not sure how people’s argument that Carney is “better than the alternative” when the alternative lost his seat is a flex. Poilievre is irrelevant and using him as a boogie man to justify Carney’s love for dictators & atrocity is non-sensical. He is using your fear to govern poorly

Dear Prime Minister @mark-carney.bsky.social,
I campaigned for you, I voted for you, and no one asked to have their civil rights violated, environmental protections repealed, wildfire victims ignored, and Indigenous rights trampled.
Your government is so disappointing. Enjoy your single term.

@davidmunroe.bsky.social is a critically acclaimed working class voice abandoned by the industry years ago. Despite struggling with poverty, he still writes and at least still gets the odd grant to help. But assuming the working class is illiterate has helped get us where we are now societally.
