my politically brave opinion is that there are a lot of things you can say with a folksy man-of-the-people vibe, but announcing your desire to electrocute people to death is not one of them maybe www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

I'm in tears reading this, and then I get to this line about Trump: "Asked by reporters whether he would visit the crash site, he said: “What’s the site? The water? You want me to go swimming?” Your leader, America.

"But in war — and Mr. Ford isn’t the only one framing a tariff shootout as a war — things change. My late father, a farmer, wouldn’t have known an avocado from his arsehole; we can adapt." Why are we paving over rich farmland? My column today. driving.ca/column/lorra...

I would highly HIGHLY suggest you all carry on as you were. Buy Canadian, distrust the noisy neighbours in the apartment beneath us, watch out for each other and especially understand who this guy really is. He just reached up and readjusted his strings. Vote him out.

“On election day, was I happy this guy won? One hundred per cent I was,” Ford can be heard saying in the clip. “Then the guy pulled out the knife and f****** yanked it into us.” Please don't re-elect someone who is blindsided by his admiration of an authoritarian. globalnews.ca/news/1099729...

The strike is OVER and the Canadian media is STILL running stories about how the evil postal worker strike is hurting small businesses. And of course there's no mention of WHY the workers were striking, because then the public might actually side with them.

I think journalists, policymakers and good govt types are struggling to understand DOGE because their mental model is that it is a government reform commission, operating like previous ones. Maybe. But it might be better to start thinking about it as a hostile takeover of the govt by oligarchs.

Pierre Poilievre is leaning heavily into rage and disinformation. His interview with Jordan Peterson speaks volumes about where he will take the politics of our nation. I was once targeted by Jordan Peterson and the death threats I faced went off the charts. www.thestar.com/opinion/deat...

This is insanity! SC Republicans amended the current abortion law in bill to go from its 6-week abortion ban to a ban from conception. Reclassifying abortion as homicide at any stage-no exceptions. Victims under 11 could receive life instead of the death penalty. These people are fucking monsters …

Calling out Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre for not showing up for work. He lives in Stornoway, a 19-room mansion and won't show up to fight for workers, seniors, people in Ukraine and Gaza. Canadians aren't dummies. This guy doesn't have their back. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdUK...

With Elon Musk, an unelected plutocrat, six weeks from becoming co-President of the United States, many people are just starting to research who he really is—that is, beyond the basics most already know. Or, rather, think they know—as most of those basics are untrue. This thread reveals the truth.

So a reminder: It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom. It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president. It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child. For the record.

It’s a mistake to ask this question because it assumes Trump’s rationality. He wants to do this because it makes him feel powerful. He doesn’t care if the effects are good or bad. Indeed, the more destruction he causes, or the more people fear destruction he may cause, the more powerful he feels.
