In this moment Doug Ford is doing what most political leaders have neither the courage or the imagination to do. He’s still bad overall, but right now I’m glad he’s there.

The Australian election will be fought on a security frame. Ballot box question -which leader will make people feel safe in a scary world? The ALP has been trying to shape the election to be fought on Medicare. But with everything happening in the world in the last few days, that’s unlikely. #auspol

The NDP and aligned Left parties like Québec solidaire are collapsing everywhere outside of Western Canada as people park with traditional centre-left liberals or mainstream conservatives. If you arent considered a serous party of government people dont want a bar of you right now. #cdnpoli

We also have to acknowledge that the Boomer generation (the previous generation mentioned) do not see it as their responsibility to provide the same caregiving that their parents provided to them when they had kids.

I love this because SNL is spiritually reliant on Canada and Canadian comics.

No opposition party in Ontario has anything to celebrate. They both got thumped by Ford. Their reactions are pure cope. Elections have binary outcomes - you win or you fail. Only a party that isn’t a serious party of government takes any solace in a loss where they lose vote and seat share. #cdnpoli

The only measure of success for a political party in an election is if they formed government. You don’t get to set your own goalposts. You either won or you failed. #onpoli

If the Liberal Party wakes up to international trends where conservative parties tack economically populist but remain socially conservative, the ALP is in for a world of hurt over the next decade. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

I don’t think most Canadians realize how much of their mass culture is actually just American culture. It probably hasn’t always been like this. But in the almost 20 years I’ve been there it has gotten worse and worse. When I go back to Australia I really notice the difference.

Tasmania appears to be in a downward spiral. We’ve just lost another private hospital, this time maternity services. We do need a second public hospital in Hobart but this continuing trend of the private sector pulling out of the state is really scary. #politas

An interest rate cut today is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition to Labor winning this election. #auspol

Record scratch. Freeze frame. You might be wondering how we got here… #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

The Fed NDP has spent two decades insisting it is a party of government. It’s currently at 16% in the polls. If the goal is vote maximization maybe it’s time to try a different strategy? Run on keeping the establishment honest. Run on protecting people no matter who wins. This isn’t working #cdnpoli

Alrighty then! Carney hasn’t even impressed as a candidate. If he does some work this might actually stick…

A national health system that requires you to keep your children home from school to be present for a 45 second tele-health appointment with a GP to request a routine blood test requisition. What an unimaginably silly and counterproductive system. Surely we can do better @markbutlermp.bsky.social?

Ontario politics is deeply stupid. There is a massive coordination problem among the non-PC vote. Does will win again because Liberals and New Democrats are extremely annoying and petty.

The problem we have with Dutton is that he comes across as strange, but sincere. He’s not slick, he’s gruff, and he looks odd. But the more he opens up about himself the more he creates contrast with Albanese who can appear evasive and defensive. #auspol www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Doug Ford has a negative 27% approval and at the same time his party is sitting in landslide territory at 44%. People really don’t like the alternatives Styles and Crombie I guess.

It’s their patriotic duty.

The rehabilitation of Justin Trudeau came just weeks too late.

Not a good week to be a Canadian worker. Or Pierre Poilievre.
