He never went there for a showdown. Your portrayal itself provides a modicum of distraction to progressives probably wondering why Mamdani, in their view, not mine, made friends with the scumbag who threatened NYC with federal funding cuts & DHS, ICE occupation. No mention of the Gaza Resort Plan?

If you think Trump is anywhere normal enough to even remember who Mamdani is & what Trump has already threatened NY State with, then you need to get out of your news paper cave more often.

People also need to remember how much of a coward Trump is face-to-face. Wouldn't be surprised to see a nasty Truth Social rant after midnight when he hears all the anger aimed his way.

Not a chance in hell she'll take the crown. That said, Hochul has a good sized lead, but isn't bulletproof. Her tepid endorsement put her squarely to little too center for her own good.

Yeah, his job is to be a numbers cruncher, not a political social media commentator. There's already too many of them who to a person all focus on their own pet issues in lieu of any other. That's now a mature way to consider the country as a whole. The right need to keep driving wedges in society.

These brain-dead convoy conspiracy theory morons just need to spend all their money proving to Canadians how insane they are. Are they going to insist again in the federal govt surrendering to them so they can takeover the country?

Of course he shouldn't. He should stick around to further wreck the CPC party.
Seriously, whoever this Nichols guy is, the worst advice is to double down on being a mouthy asshole. So, in his stubborn stupidity, we'll probably see Poilievre sticking around long past his expiration date.

I don't think Trump has the cojones to cut off Ukraine with a majority in the House & Senate who would prefer to support Ukraine.

I think this feeling you are trying to push isn't supported by the facts of increased closeness & trade agreements between Europe & North America as in Canada & Central America, Mexico to Panama.

Reporting political opinion is not news. In fact, we are inundated with it. The idea that the NDP rejects Carney's commitment to the Paris Agreement targets is irrelevant as they are ideologically committed to oppose any move in that direction as being not good enough. Working with gov't may help.

At least your ideological negativity projection now uses the names of ideologically focused people. When will we ever see a broader viewpoint instead of just posting people with negative or overly positive (which I've never seen from your editorial board), specific objections?

From the perspective of an old fart who doesn't have any affordability issues, it's easy to dismiss such things as existing. Just as well, 99% of people dismiss such things he says.

The laughing is not in derision but in wonder that we have come this far. Don't read to much into something you don't like.

Is a camera actually that good if only wealthy people can use it? How many talented artists are denied an advanced tool because its priced out of normal reach? Is being rich now a substitute for talent? We are seeing that in the tech bro world.

Zelensky should tell Trump, thanks but no thanks. He'll get help from nations not compromised by Putin. Will it be tougher? But considering how tenacious Ukraine has been, they won't accept an agreement between bullies.

Ironic that yet more sports pundits get surprised when a team, most of which you ignore in favor of the "star" players, provides the solution off the bench.
I'm truly sick and tired of American team sport coverage...that and the ready acceptance of gambling forced advertising on the fans.
