One of the things that keeps me going back there is SA Twitter. How can we get them to migrate?

And build warships.
Carney seems to be upping his comms game on this too, based on his NL and NS campaign stops.

Yes! That makes me feel ancient.

Thanks Mats! No-one more surprised than me. And the journalist and photographer were super friendly.

Try South Africa in winter (their summer).

Not sure @stevenguilbeault.bsky.social is the right man (!) for the Women and Gender Equality job, although he posted on X today that it remains a government priority. Let's keep the pressure on.

I'm hoping for more attention and clarification during the campaign. Getting more men aged 18-34 to vote Liberal might make it worth it.
Not justifying, simply trying to understand their strategy!

Although to be fair, a lot of the feminist stuff in the Trudeau government seemed largely performative.

As a Canadian (and South African), I say absolutely yes. To me it's become like the academic boycott against apartheid South Africa: a moral stance against a cruel and repressive government. American and other geographers are welcome to come to the CAG.

Keep an eye on Canada while you're at it. And if you need to do a runner!

Well, since you put it like that. Divisible Crown's embodied monarch caught between different UK and Canadian national interests.

The King refusing Starmer's request would have put the UK in a bit of a bind. As you know, the King does what his government requests. It's less metaphysical, more constitutional.
The invitation itself is what offends.

Except the King of Canada didn't write it. It was the King of the UK, as requested by the Prime Minister of the UK. Canada's Prime Minister can ask the King of Canada to express his support for Canadian sovereignty.
