“Whatever adjectives American progressives might use to describe Democrats—feckless, weak, pathetic—the Canadian Liberals are the opposite. In fact, they may be the most successful left-of-center party on the planet,” Daniel Block writes:
The Liberals Who Can’t Stop Winning

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

10 years ago, when I introduced a bill to make public colleges & universities tuition free, it was called "radical." Not today. Over 100 colleges & universities now offer free tuition to working class students.
Now, we must expand that idea to all public colleges & universities.

Musk is a deranged, sick person who put out a tweet defending Hitler. Running interference for genocidal dictators who ordered mass murder is beyond the pale. Someone should educate him on the evils of the Holocaust. In the meantime he should be removed from his role—now!
