Imo it's not social media sucks, but the rampant capitalist digital environment that has monetized and rewarded our worst impulses and made that the mainstream decorum. But I guess can you have one without the other? I'd like to hope so. Fighting for those good digital spaces are worth it.

I'm sure he's a nice guy and all, but what a way to summarize his tenure as leader than that.

Sticking to on here and being 99% off Instagram and Facebook really makes it a jarring experience to check on those spaces (usually for friend event coordination). Really remarkable how normalized the ad and algorithm bombardment was for me.

As a Leafs fan, I would simply enjoy having a positive Leafs memory in my adulthood.

The more I watch other sports (namely football in this context), the more ridiculous to me that fighting is an acceptable part of hockey. I think when your starting point is fist-fighting is okay (and expected), the moving target of acceptable violence/officiating is inevitable.

Fed NDP lost on policy and messaging on worker and worker anxiety. Just saying "we're going to fight for you" isn't it.

Slowing down of ports is what he's hoping to see - this is great news *to him*. The mindset is less buying and more in-house production. Which maybe in a way could possibly work if there was a plan to support ramping up domestic production. Instead it's "adapt or die" for businesses, fits his m.o.

It's such a predictable outcome. Every coach makes a single comment and the officiating takes a 180 until the next round.

IMO: Critical self-reflection and nuance is not a skill or practice that's promoted in social media use - people are rewarded for fast quips that align with the group we identify with/seek validation from.

I believe there's a component at play where certain concepts have become so hard coded as signals of political/cultural alignment that for some, it becomes a warning trigger to go on defence. I don't say that to be defeatist, but hopefully as part of understanding those connective pieces.

From what I recall, I don't think the Bloc has had the opportunity to tip the scales of power like this before. Likely a prime opportunity for leveraging provincial interests so I'd guess they hold onto that power balance for a while.

If I'm an opponent/critic, I'm arguing they lost a potential 50 seats given the election forecast going into the election period.
