Oh. Now I feel like a wimp! I probably have a bit more tough it out to do, then!

Yup!

I spent the evening listening to his recent interviews. I was pretty sure I’d be going mad before the end of the night, but it’s actually a lot less painful than I expected.

Quand tu veux tuer ton chien, tu dis qu’il a la rage. Quand tu veux tuer ton projet de loi…

Argh. J’écoute l’entrevue qu’il a donné à @guglielminetti.bsky.social à #AllI. Cette propension qu’il a à banaliser C-27 est si absurde quand on se rapelle de tout le battage médiatique l’an dernier entourant ce qui était à l’époque plus meilleur projet de loi depuis le pain tranché.

But before anything else, hats off to @sararatner.bsky.social and team, for creating a space where excellence and kindness go hand in hand.

I was much better at pretending to be!
