The dust is still settling in the Canadian election, but one phenomenon seems to be the nationalization of the campaign. Even more than usual, people were voting for who they want to be PM rather than who they want represent their riding. (I think this was a factor in #Hamont Centre, where I live.)

Another trend is that the collapse of the NDP vote didn’t just redound to the Liberals but actually bifurcated between both the Liberals and Conservatives.
This trend has been accelerating and progressives need to reckon with it.

Doubling down on critical minerals without mentioning mitigating, or even simply being aware, of the human and environmental cost of Canadian mining is really bleak to be honest.

"There will be no 'drill, baby drill' on #Indigenous land. We will not watch as our hard-earned money is used to finance the destruction of our futures."

Oh, I always thought my students had a hard time finding a job after graduation due to economic reasons. I will have to let them know to stop watching cartoons and everything will be solved.
Doug Ford blames youth unemployment on the ODSP / Ontario Works programs he’s been in charge of for several years:
”Healthy young people that are sitting on the couch watching The Flintstones, they should be out there, they should be working – there’s still 200,000 jobs available here in Ontario“

Hunter Biden pardoned. Okay, President Biden:
There are now 40 men on federal death row. You promised to end the death penalty but haven’t even issued a single clemency.
60 members of Congress are calling for it. When are their clemencies coming?

Biden should commute all federal death sentences. He claims to oppose the death penalty now, the risk of a political backlash is now moot, and it would be a historic, legacy-making move.
