Pierre Poilievre was angry and petulant when he was up by twenty points. If he keeps hemorrhaging voters, he'll turn into Lou Ferrigno.

Though, I'm not comfortable countering nationalism with nationalism, I'll hope for my elected leaders to gather wisdom in the days to come, if for nothing else, than sheer novelty.

I don't have a particular favourite, but it's notable that Linwood Barclay (who writes effortlessly great thrillers, and is a fine fellow), is championing one on the shortlist. Enjoy Canada Reads before Poilievre guts the CBC next year.

It’s hard to believe that in the 2010s the big US tech companies were near-universally seen as forces of good and their CEOs as role models, not as sources of shame
