It astonishes me that Oakville has managed to stay so sprawling despite being a half hour away from downtown Toronto.

As I have been arguing, the policy outcomes are less important than the political ones: legitimation of Alberta as a distinct, sovereign actor entitled to special treatment, and legitimation of alleged grievances.

The attempt to placate will only embolden, because the goal isn't compromise.

Trudeau's pipeline didn't earn him a single vote in Alberta. This pipeline has even shakier justification! It has no economic, environmental or political support. I cannot understand what Carney is thinking. Agreed - this won't end well :( #canpoli.

I am confident that Trumps special power to cover the truth in a steaming pile of lies will keep his name buried for years.

I really hope someone is keeping a backup copy. I hope we see it all eventually, even if we have to wait for Trump to die first.
