The number one reason authoritarian leadership gains support is economic pain. If Mark Carney and the Liberals cannot do their part for this, and draw clear lines between their role and Provincial leadership, it won’t bode well for the next one.
Celebrate, yes. Dig deeper, always.

Fact-checking, engaging in free-and-rational thought, and most of all, getting our hands dirty in working out housing and military policy.

Why that should be the vehicle to seemingly unlimited power within their regime, and why citizens continue to fall for these tactics today, is a deeper study than this post.
But it’s worth keeping in mind, on the eve of our election.

blame shifting onto immigrants, conspiracies, claiming the wealthy are all evil - though becoming wealthy becomes one of their goals, fighting against intellectuals, encouraging violence, and saying they care deeply about the poor.

I’m not giving up, but it’s difficult, to say the least, to watch those you know and love falling into the trap.

They would vote for anyone. Anyone. Who they believe will increase their influence. All under the guise of Jesus loving us, but really, for the desire to control the narrative, which they call “righteousness”.
I am not anti-Church. But I most certainly am against hypocrisy.

OK. Agreed, but this has been true for decades. It’s not computers or AI. It’s a long-standing issue accelerated by social media. Even in the 90’s we saw Americans able to be convinced in person that Canadians live in igloos year-round. That’s old-fashioned lack of education…not “computers”.

Republicans have been planning this coup for years…it won’t turn around overnight, or after a single protest, no matter how large.
Plan. Implement. Hope. Community.

Talk to your kids without it being just a rant, find like-minded souls whenever possible.
This can be turned around. The rule of law can be restored, but it’s going to take a LOT of work, and a lot of community.
Remember: it’s going to get worse before it gets better. Dig in for the long hall.

Don’t engage with the lost. They won’t change even when the world is crumbling around them: they only understand how to blame.
Do engage with those on the fence, and those who don’t hate, even when you don’t agree on everything.
Educate without preaching, research, do your homework on reality.

And people, who are often unable to research on their own, or remember anything further back than a few paycheques, fell for it. Again.

I think your media channels, especially the large ones trump labelled as “fake news” again and again from 2016-2020, are largely complicit here. They sanewashed what he said repeatedly in 2024, making it seem like he wasn’t serious.

Thank you for putting that up. The mental prep required for a protracted fight is so important, and something I personally have been struggling with.

Really, that’s what you think? For a guy who talks politics and finance a lot, you’re not exactly watching crypto, are you? Or looking at trends longer than three months.
Harris lost because she A. Wasn’t a man, and B. Wasn’t white. That’s the USA for you. In your constitution from the beginning.

That’s a touch simplistic, don’t you think? There are dozens, hundreds, of ways to do that, far worse than crypto, including the actual stock market.
Let’s not play the same game the other side is doing in the WH right now.

I never doubted him for a moment. People don’t like to learn from history; they’d rather fight against it and repeat it endlessly.

Very well written, and exactly as you’re saying.

The largest housing contraction since 1996…you can kiss my ***. It’s nothing of the sort.

Or who thinks the hand-wringing, enormously wealthy building industry in Canada is suffering. Oh wait, yes I do. Conservative politicians who protect their wealthy friends, and starry-eyed newspaper reporters who haven’t lived in reality for decades.
