The problem is that your options to stop a lawless tyrant are 1) use available constitutional rules or 2) coup/rebellion/revolution. It would be better if option 1 was more effective

It feels very Shakespearean that Poilievre probably could have won in 2021 and O’Toole could probably win today

There is no “British Commonwealth”, they changed the name to “Commonwealth of Nations” and it’s a voluntary organization with no sense of British superiority.
Canada is fully independent of Britain even though we recognize the same person as King.

They could’ve used a prolonged debate on the nato appointment to highlight the ways Trump is actually endangering America by jeopardizing traditional alliances. This isn’t hard!

The Bannonites want this but the Musk-Thiel side want the autocracy to be consolidated by a transfer to Vance. We need to watch for signs if they find some arrangement or if a fissure erupts

@shawnmicallef.bsky.social I need to shoutout my UWO poli sci prof John MacDougall who actually wrote this book in 2006 and once said in a 2007 lecture “It is inevitable we will need to have an election on the future of our relationship with America.” He was 20 years ahead of his time!

And this one: “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

I’ve been nervous that Quebec separatists will start thinking there’s a path to independence in all of this.

Journalism industry question - what happens if you’re like 8 whiskeys deep at 11pm on a Saturday when news like this breaks?

They usually start with “General GOP unpopularity will probably deliver the 2028 election to Dems on its own..” but then still say a whole bunch of policy moderation is required. Almost like it’s not actually about electoral strategy but just that these guys are moderates!

My 2.5 year old daughter has decided I’m the only one she wants to take her to the bathroom, and while it slightly inconvenient it’s also kind of nice to be the primary parent for a need.

The whole theory for Walz was that he was supposed to show what non-toxic masculinity looked like and then they sent him exactly nowhere that skill would have helped them.
He should have been at football games and nascar races every weekend.

The President always takes the blame for a shutdown! That’s been a fairly standard rule of politics for decades. Schumer knows this!

Why is he so worries about blame? The President always take serve blame for a shutdown!

They’ve put a lot of energy into demonizing various forms of sales taxes, I think it’s more likely they introduce a bunch of pay-as-you-go fees

Rogan said he decided to vote for Trump when he determined that Walz misrepresenting his time in China meant he couldn’t trust Democrats. I can’t even

Every single person who says “I hate his views, but he should be freed” need to understand the first clause only harms the impact of your second clause. It is an irrelevant point and only seeds power in the argument to the fascists.

My brother-in-law is from Windsor, with dual US citizenship due to lots of life connections to Detroit, and had to explain to his parents that he wouldn’t be going across the river anytime soon. Caused a bit of a riff, hadn’t occurred to the boomers yet and they had to reorganize lives

They do so many tweets/truths about very unpopular things! Why don’t they just do them and shut up about them? No one would notice until it’s too late!

One DS9 episode has Odo telling Sisko about all the crime on the promenade. With every incident, he hands Sisko a new tablet. The gag is that by the end Sisko is holding like 10 tablets. Didn’t occur in 1995 that you only needed one iPad to scroll all that info haha

So much attention on missing the big free agents this offseason but to me the true front office failing was they did not have the assets to play in the very active trade market (Crochet, Tucker, DWilliams, etc…)

They wanted him to say no tot he mineral deal and use that as the pretext. When he said yes they had to pivot and manufacture a new pretext

Thank you for this because I was wondering why does he just tweet out the highly corrupt stuff, he could just do this stuff and say nothing and nobody would notice

MSM reporters, NYT included, were very vocal over the AP-Gulf of America incident, saying it violated freedom of the press.
They are very capable of objectively identifying that it is wrong to infringe the rights of a small group when they are the group. Everybody else gets both-sidesism or “meh”

Random procedural Q: if the PM is not an MP or Senator is he still allowed to attend the speech from the throne and sit beside the GG?

They were banking on him saying no to the minerals deal so they could blame their withdrawal on that. When he said yes they had to find a way to tank it and blame it on him

Don’t sell them short - they also love gutting environmental and safety protections under the guise that they are a burden on economic growth

Absolutely anybody could win an election if they were running against the party responsible for the Iraq War and the Great Recession. It was just the Dem’s time, there was no strategic genius behind it.
