"[F]or older voters — especially Boomers and older Gen Xers — [Canada is broken] is like nails on a chalkboard. They hate it. Not because it’s wrong, but because it threatens a version of Canada they still believe in. A Canada that worked. A Canada that rewarded hard work, played fair, and gave […]

I think I'll create an account for posting #PierrePoilievre videos. People on the Fediverse ought to have the opportunity to hear what he actually says, and not just listen to what other people think he says. I listened to a good one today, for instance, about his plans to reinforce Canadian […]

Listening to #CBCRadio this morning, they were discussing strategic voting for people who lean #NDP. I don't have any philosophical objection to strategic voting — so long as you only cast a ballot for someone you wouldn't be ashamed to have as your MP. It's strange though to hear it raised by […]

This is appalling. Here we have an incumbent Liberal MP telling people they should kidnap his Conservative opponent and hand him to a hostile foreign government that's hunting for his head. It's not a "lapse in judgment"; it's an assault on democracy itself.
