All right. Let’s get this election over with.
There’s only one big thing to focus on because without that nothing else matters.
Who is going to be the best leader to distance us from a country we can no longer rely on? And who’s going to have our backs when the transition gets rough? #cdnpoli

Ah so they’re back to this old playbook.
After 9/11, U.S. news became so obedient and jingoistic that I had to often get news about my neighbour to the south from the BBC. Because the BBC was relatively objective. #Trump

I have two friends, neither of whom are politics reporters but who both work in “the media,” who both told me yesterday that they aren’t even allowed to write or post about Trump with work accounts because describing anything he’s doing objectively would appear “anti-Trump.”
The NYT, WaPo, LAT, CNN, etc etc have shifted to the right. Fox & the Post et al have always been hard right. Twitter & Meta are controlled by right wingers. On a daily basis, millions of Americans - probably the majority - see nothing but sanitized, accomodationist, right wing coverage of Trump.

And so we have a new Prime Minister. Carney kind of reminds me of Joe Clark as far as his speaking and tone, but I hope he can succeed where Joe Clark failed.
And hey… I did vote for Joe Clark once so let’s bring on his Liberal doppelgänger. We’ve got a country to keep. #cdnpoli #lpc

The last 5 people to be Prime Minister of Canada, who seldom agreed with each other on a goddamn thing, are getting together and saying “fight this bullshit.”

I kind of like how Trump fucked up so badly that there’s no east, no west, no Quebec anymore just one big Dominion of Fuck You Donald. #cdnpoli

It sure is. And this time it deserves to just take the patient. And I hope it’s slow, agonizing, and takes the evangelicals and the red states first.

Oh goody, Trudeau is stepping down and in three months we will have another Prime Minister.
Who gets to play Kim Campbell or John Turner between March and October? #cdnpoli

You know the worst thing about this entire Freeland/Trudeau fiasco is?
This is the Liberal Party. Some of the better parts of Canadas history have occurred under them.
And now the party of great men like Laurier, King, Pearson, and Chrétien has been reduced to… whatever this is. #cdnpoli

So the Mexican president did NOT threaten to deport Americans with vacation homes.
Which is too bad… I would like to see #Mexico fight and not be one of many whipping boys for America’s social problems that #America itself caused.
I’ve been to Mexico. It’s a lovely place. And doesn’t deserve it
