Doug Ford and Poilievre clearly do not like each other. Putting it mildly. Jamil Jivani (a Conservative MP and close friend of JD Vance!) even called Ford “a Liberal hype man.” Like I said. Drama.
Will the right fracture? - can’t see division not increasing.
Things to watch: division and confusion on the right. Drama between federal Conservatives and provincial PCs is escalating. Nova Scotia’s Tim Houston ad read like a bid to replace Poilievre. More PC style than the more reform/alliance rhetoric the right has had lately).
Elizabeth May wins a Green seat. Again! The Bloc loses a few but still holds a decent share.
Singh lost his seat and stepped down with a gracious concession speech. I think much of the NDP knows this was a lot the Trump-fear factor: left-of-centre voters rallied behind whoever could bit the tories and who had the best knowledge in an economic fight against Trump).
Poilievre loses his riding after nearly 20 years but says he’s staying on as leader. While the Tories have a large number of seats, it is still dropping a 20 point lead and losing a fourth election.
🇨🇦 🗳️ Liberals win, just four seats short of a majority right now. Mark Carney remains PM.
“What I am going to say is not a dogma of faith but my own personal view: I like to think of hell as empty; I hope it is,” Pope Francis said.
Advanced polls were busy! It’s the first time I’ve had to wait quite a while in a line to vote. Ever. 🇨🇦🗳️
Just a legal historian here reminding everyone that “high crimes and misdemeanors” do not need to be felonies.
They can include political abuses and stupidity, like, hypothetically, destroying the economy and wiping out people’s savings in 3 days.
Posted this on meta socials and tiktok, got so much hate that “I’m being divisive”.

The media is complicit
Who needs covert Kremlin propaganda when we can now get it openly, from the member of Putin's inner circle who was visiting Washington last week?
A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
This, from Timothy Snyder, is definitive, on Greenland open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

As I said, this is Canada’s Day Zero. Economically and politically. Canadian history now has a before and an after, centred on this day
“This is a very dumb thing to do.“ Trudeau slams Trump’s tariffs.
“At the same time they’re talking positively about … Putin, a lying murderous dictator.“

Going forward: Buy Canadian. Buy anything but American. Vacation literally anywhere else.
Debate our politics, but ignore the quislings who would rather see Canada submit to the U.S. It’s time to shut out the disinformation addicts spewing anti-Canadian rhetoric.

Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."
Canadian PM Justin Trudeau:
"Today, the United States launched a trade war against Canada - their closest partner and ally, their closest friend. At the same time, they're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin - a lying murderous dictator. Make that makes sense."

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Donald, what, you had to bring a guy from the Russian state media in to watch you try and beat up Zelenskyy—and you thought that would make you look good? It made you look like the crook you are. Zelenskyy is a man that you will never be; he’s a genuine hero.
we've reached the point that the WSJ opinion section is publishing pieces with headlines like this, just saying
