Every time I see this man speak it feels like a sunbeam: a sentence I never expected to say about anyone in politics (or, like. generally)

It's a quiet yet influential culture; if I had a dollar for every time I found out that a favorite entertainer or cultural figure was Canadian I'd be able to treat myself to a nice meal

I can only imagine being Canadian feels a bit like living next to a frat house that's always throwing ragers and getting the cops called on them and dumping trash in the front yard

and then every once in a while they complains that Canada's lawn is over 4 inches and in violation of HOA

I'm reminded of the James Baldwin quote:

"I love America more than any other country in the world and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually"
