Rachel Maddow said it, but I am a couple of decades older than she is and I was raised with it. Don’t listen to what they say, watch what they do. If you accept expedience and don’t demand principles you lose both.

Toronto Star? Really? TS is a rag for fools. They were the first to abandon principles of good journalism a while ago.

vickiesomers.bsky.social•86 days ago

Not true. The first was all the papers owned by Postmedia. Toronto Star has some very good journos, and Bruce Arthur is one of them.

uncljoe.bsky.social•86 days ago

The paper as a whole is a rag. I even used to read it. Use it for cage liner now. If you can stomach the publishers choices fine. Not me.

I prefer to be on Team Canada not conservative team bootlicker thank you.

Smith and Ford did Canada no favours with their panicked and ill-considered public statements. Amateur hour.

contextualist.bsky.social•86 days ago

How far are you prepared to go to do what’s right? What are you willing to sacrifice? If nothing, you get nothing except for excrement in your Capitol and dead cops.

Add legault to the list

sno-man.bsky.social•87 days ago

Both, clowns... Neither funny.

lillym2.bsky.social•87 days ago

Hard to mock American leaders when we have these 3 kicking around. (I'm including Legault).

🍊thinks Canada beefing up the border will do something for the US? That's even stranger than Smith 'patroling' a federal bi-national border. I am glad the feds are going to do that - things seem set to get pretty hairy south of us. Wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people head our way

Liberals telling people not to freak out about higher prices is exactly why Liberals are doing so poorly in the polls.

vickiesomers.bsky.social•86 days ago

You just got unfollowed and blocked. I expect Canadians to be more intelligent than what you've revealed.

Remember WW2 and the blitz. And the advice to Keep Calm and Carry On?

Good advice then, good advice now.

Prices went up around the world because supply disruptions, and my favourite chart.

Regular people can freak out - but our politicians should remain calm. They didn't all do that...

dianeellison.bsky.social•87 days ago

And for those who do not see the parallels - SOUND UP!

rickdaly.bsky.social•87 days ago

Well, the coffee boys aren't who he will be dealing with...?

casualzen.bsky.social•87 days ago

Agreed. We’ve handled this poorly so far. Worse still that we are choosing to ignore the lessons from 2017-20.

lasantink.bsky.social•84 days ago

It is a good piece. I was appalled that the Ford, Smith and Legault, and of course, Poilievre, ever so humble, put petty politics and their own greed for power before the needs of our country. They aren't leaders, they're embarrassments.

bcreality.bsky.social•87 days ago

I've been saying this since an hour after the tweet that got everyone flustered.
