Likewise. So much time, work, intellectual and emotional bandwidth. My god it would be tiring.

Now you get to draw more beards!

where are they finding these people how is it possible to even have this endless supply of humans who don't understand literally anything about human behaviour

First time he read his own speech was on stage?

This is what Rumsfeld would call an Unnoem Unnoem

Oh, yeah 👏

If Cory wants to ride on that plane, he does.

She walked off stage without anyone bringing it up.

She took two questions and no one mentioned it. Bummer.

Aww. She took two questions and no one brought it up.

Carney and the Liberal Party are not a good example of this as they did not “move to the centre”. They have always been in the centre except that Canada’s centre is decidedly more socially left that the US one or the current UK centre.

The 80s list definitely doesn't sound like the 80s I lived. Sure, I know the songs as the surface audioscape of the time but there is none of the depth here.

Best description in a while. Well done.

Can confirm. And the presser was broadcast internationally on CBC, BBC and Al Jazeera during coverage of the US attacking Iran. Not a good look.

I know you were not. But Carney is, even if in a very careful way. I get what he is doing but am not completely happy with it. Chretien was operating in a very different US-Canada dynamic as well, so I really do not want to compare them. It is unfortunate that we have been forced into this.

I generally am sympathetic to what you are trying to do here but supporting an illegal attack by the US on Iran, even in a qualified way, does not bode well for arguing that the US should not illegally attack anyone else, including Greenland and Canada.

To an global audience looking for information about his intentions regarding destabilizing the world. That meandering bullshit was live on every international news channel.

So definitely fictional?

What is funny is that this is playing on Al Jazeera and CBC Newsworld who were hoping for pertinent news. But the US President, who is waging war on Iran and further destabilizing the region, is blathering on about his gold drapes and his special ego-project, a ballroom.

"Copyeditor" even looks like an error.

Find a way to stream BBC News, CBC Canada and Al Jazeera. Some combo of those three gets you something resembling professional English language broadcast journalism on international (including US) issues.

And, yes, I live in Toronto.

This is one of those cultural objects that I have yet to determine whether or not it is actually something to be interested in, or if I am just experiencing a well-planned viral marketing campaign that wants me to think it might be good.

We already have. Those American fighters that "crashed" in Kuwait have been said to have been hit by "friendly fire."

Just fell out of the air for no reason?

Didn't you answer the Vikings to this question last week? Has something changed?

Look, I think Carney's immediate support for this is unnecessary, and yes, immoral. I also think it is political although I am not sure what the actual benefits might me. But slagging "non-academics" as mindlessly supportive is just a form of reverse populism.

I question your assumption that "non-academics" "clearly" read that speech as Carney claiming he would would actively attack Trump or the US.

Yeah, I am not happy with Carney's quick capitulation. I have to assume there is a political benefit although I do not really see it. I remember when Chretien rejected Bush's Iraq invasion.

Pretty disappointing.
