It’s long past time these platforms were reined in. They’re knowingly creating informative environments that facilitate the spread of conspiracy theories and false information that intentional warp people’s understanding of reality and the world around them.

Back in the day, Pierre Poilievre and Jenni Byrne played hide the salami together. Each has an irrational attachment to the other. They will go down in flames together and take the Conservative caucus too. Our blessings. 🙏🏼 www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

Let me be clear: I don't want a miniTrump/libertarian leader guiding my country thru an economic/political crisis. But I'm concerned where the current leader could take the only party that has a whiff of hope for progressivity, once elected, given who else is in the caucus. #NotAOneManShow. 1/n

The mind of a Democratic absolute loyalist is truly incredible. They really think they are coming up with talking points I haven't heard for more than 16 fucking months because these talking points just fucking occurred to them when they recoiled in horror at a tweet they didn't like.

The Heritage Foundation grew from ashes of the John Birch Society. The JBS published a pamphlet attacking Canada back in 1970. Co-founded by a JBS lecturer, Heritage simply rebranded discredited Bircher philosophy. The pamphlet reads like a transcript of a Joe Rogan podcast.

For as long as this tariff circus plays out, the obscenely wealthy Canadian elite will mobilize maudlin patriotism to get you to buy their shit, even while they raise prices way beyond what they would 'need' to to cover their extra costs. YOU will pay for the trade war, Galen Weston will not.

🧵A Simplified Political Economic Genealogy of Trump Tariffs: 1) During the 16th and 17th Centuries, large European Imperial powers believed that trade was an extension of their competitive rivalry. Trade was a zero sum - you either won or lost. This was "Mercantilism".

Been really into the modern history of comedy. It amazes me how familiar some historical moments feel eerily similar to the moment we’re currently experiencing - the tide turning against recent progressive gains, self-victimization of dominant groups, the re-emergence of cultural conservativism
