The problem is that your options to stop a lawless tyrant are 1) use available constitutional rules or 2) coup/rebellion/revolution. It would be better if option 1 was more effective

He definitely thinks the Silicon Valley guys need to do whatever they want to accelerate tech development

It feels very Shakespearean that Poilievre probably could have won in 2021 and O’Toole could probably win today

There is no “British Commonwealth”, they changed the name to “Commonwealth of Nations” and it’s a voluntary organization with no sense of British superiority.

Canada is fully independent of Britain even though we recognize the same person as King.

They could’ve used a prolonged debate on the nato appointment to highlight the ways Trump is actually endangering America by jeopardizing traditional alliances. This isn’t hard!

The Bannonites want this but the Musk-Thiel side want the autocracy to be consolidated by a transfer to Vance. We need to watch for signs if they find some arrangement or if a fissure erupts

This was the likeliest case since he started complaining about the thumb and we all chose to live in denial for like 3 weeks

@shawnmicallef.bsky.social I need to shoutout my UWO poli sci prof John MacDougall who actually wrote this book in 2006 and once said in a 2007 lecture “It is inevitable we will need to have an election on the future of our relationship with America.” He was 20 years ahead of his time!

I’ve been nervous that Quebec separatists will start thinking there’s a path to independence in all of this.

Journalism industry question - what happens if you’re like 8 whiskeys deep at 11pm on a Saturday when news like this breaks?

They usually start with “General GOP unpopularity will probably deliver the 2028 election to Dems on its own..” but then still say a whole bunch of policy moderation is required. Almost like it’s not actually about electoral strategy but just that these guys are moderates!

My 2.5 year old daughter has decided I’m the only one she wants to take her to the bathroom, and while it slightly inconvenient it’s also kind of nice to be the primary parent for a need.

The whole theory for Walz was that he was supposed to show what non-toxic masculinity looked like and then they sent him exactly nowhere that skill would have helped them.

He should have been at football games and nascar races every weekend.
