Please don’t follow me. Most of my posts are directed at the voices in my head.
Baseball has never stopped changing. We allow runners to magically appear at 2nd base and let players in two positions skip 50% of the game. It's still baseball. All I'm suggesting is a way to reduce injuries, improve gameplay when extra innings are required.

thanks Tom.

“riding” = Canadian electoral district

“scrum” = Canadian term for ad hoc news media appearance by a political figure

“grits” = Nickname for Liberal party/parties in Canada

I just thought it was funny how Canadian politics has terminology not used elsewhere

Carney: “When you look at that from this side of the border, you think ‘oh okay, this is more deeply held or the friendship is less firmly rooted.’”

A really salient moment comes at 30:02. Carney: “What has been striking has been the relatively muted response in US to these steps. Right? … That’s changing a bit but it was pretty quiet for a long period of time…”

why the misogyny?

and what on earth do you mean by “impeach her”? This isn’t the US.

By doubling down on the sexism & not engaging the content of the criticism, you come across as an unreliable ally against autocracy.

Misogyny is inherently authoritarian and anti-democratic.
