This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who watched them blame Obama for four years the last time.

Wait, they still do these?

Honestly, a more interesting story would be about the incredible gender gap that exists with Poillievre's support and asking why is women are so completely turned off by him. Who gives a rat's ass about these too online influencer-wannabes with bad mustaches. #cdnpoli #elxn45

South of Midnight is a game worth hollerin’ about

He's positively glowing... well at least part of him...

US government policy now is to fire competency, reward loyalty, and let mismanagement and chaos be the order of the day. Exceptionalism at its best.

Kind of a boring rewatch week. Realized I had very little Daniel Craig in my stats so I decided to rewatch his Bonds from start to finish. We're all too hard on Spectre. It is gorgeous, it has incredible set pieces, and Craig isn't sleeping through it. #filmsky #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

When you start trade wars with the countries that own your debt. #USPOLI #Tariffs #TradeWar

Manny Gonzalez looking like the new Angel Hernandez. What a joke. #BlueJays

I have been on Reddit forever, and this is the first time I've ever seen the Globe and Mail promoting an article. This article. I don't know why we falsely distinguish the Globe from the National Post. The Globe isn't some paper of note. It is just another Conservative rag.

You suck McBain!

The United States is Billy Bob Thornton in Tombstone and someone needs to Wyatt Earp the hell out of this country.

Fuck Joe Rogan. This is the content creator that matters.

None of this changes anything for Canada. He's unstable and unpredictable. This is still a Trump election. The best leader for Canada is the leader that can beat insulate is from Trump. We have to steel ourselves against all of calamity he is going to cause for the next 4 years! #cdnpoli #elxn45

Stable genius

If he claims this as a victory, I will throw a chair out the window.

The elimination of USAID is already having decimating impact across the globe. Carney's assurance that foreign aid will be maintained is most welcome. #cdnpoli #elxn45

Media needs to start putting this guy on the defensive. If he can't handle these questions in a campaign, what do you think he is going to do with the media if he actually governs. It is in media's best interest to push this guy off balance a little. #cdnpoli #elxn45 #fourthestate

That feeling when you discover what potash is and the "oh fuck" moment of what tariffs on it actually means for US agriculture.

"Every other January Congress takes an oath to defend the constitution. 3 months ago the Republicans in Congress did not take that oath. They basically said "screw the constitution, we are going to defend Trump" The midterms cannot come soon enough!

Can we not politicize judges. Carney is right: “Quebec already has a designated representative on the committees that evaluate candidates for Quebec Superior Court, the Court of Appeal and federal courts. All the other members also come from Quebec, including one appointed by the Barreau du Quebec”

We are all Tim Roth bleeding in the back of the car right now. Trump:

Doug Ford waiting to become the new leader of the CPC:

Played through the first two chapters tonight. Holy shit this game is beautiful.

All of this is predicated on a game of economic chicken with the rest of the world. Rs raised on bullshit stories of exceptionalism. And now they cry to negotiate. Negotiate for what? Who doesn't have the cards now? You're scared because for the first time you realize you are not exceptional.

This. If he can't manage the media, how will he manage a real crisis? #cdnpoli #elxn2025

So just to make sure I'm getting this right, you are going to more than double the import tax on the most popular form of lumber for home construction in the midst of a home supply crisis?

Getting Stockwell Day jet ski vibes! (Yes, I'm that old!) #cdnpoli #elxn2025

From the Hill Times: "So the ballot question remains the same in this election: who is the best candidate to deal with Donald Trump? And the answer remains the same. In the long, and complex negotiations ahead, Carney is clearly the most qualified candidate to take on Trump." #cdnpoli #elxn2025

We are likely going to wake up to headlines about China's retaliation. There is no way they don't already have countermeasures and retaliations already planned. This is likely to get much much worse.

They either speak the truth and get dismantled for bias, or be more conservative in the hope of not being seen as biased and get dismantled anyway. Why take the bait? Show Poilievre for who he really is: A man of little moral character whose only worked as an attack dog for shitty policies.

This is essentially a trade embargo. China will respond and it won't end well for anyone.

Called it.

You see this lump of coal? I have been carrying this around with me since Santa gave it to me when I was 8 years old.

Every Canadian kid of a certain generation was a Gretzky nut. We all tucked half of our jersey into our pants. We all did the fist pump when we scored. You just wanted to be him so bad. So it honestly hurts a little to say this, but oh well: Get fucked you traitor!
