Thanks Sean!

Muttering obscenities is 100% self-care.

For a party that likes to talk about removing “gatekeepers,” Conservatives today seem to have a lot of opinions about who is or isn’t Canadian enough to opine on the election.

It’s a “Carnavan.”

Hot take:

A reporter can press a Prime Minister hard for an answer, question the sincerity of his answer, and the PM can push back on the reporter in his response, without anyone involved having done anything wrong.

Pierre Poilievre has a bigger problem than Mark Carney. Much bigger In a political crisis, it’s possible to play the victim — it might even help with your public image — but nobody votes for the victim in a crisis.

My latest for the Toronto Star talks about the importance of narratives, and why if Poilievre loses the next election it will because the election narrative changed, not because the Liberal leader did.

Conservatives are attacking Mark Carney’s record as Governor of the Bank of England.

Here’s the part they keep leaving out.

The UK voted to leave the EU in the middle of his term.

Carney repeatedly warned that voting for Brexit would have a negative impact on the economy.

He was right.

Canada, I think we are setting our sights too low.

Instead of asking the U.S to drop tariffs in exchange for dropping ours, we ask for Trump’s resignation.

Americans want to sell a drop off bourbon up here, get potash from Saskatchewan, or build a car together again?

No problem, tell him to quit.

Winner take all game, in Boston, and the visiting team with Maple Leafs on the jerseys wins it.

Anything is possible kids.

Because when countries start annexing other sovereign nations, they’re famous for still continuing with free and fair elections.

Honestly Montréal, I’m disappointed.

I’ve heard you boo the Leafs way louder than that.

Great to see a kid from Calgary come home and light up the Flames.

If the economic explanations, impacts and analysis aren’t clear to you, there’s a simpler framing to consider.

There are two sides to this dispute, and one them is Canada’s.

If you’re Canadian and that is not the side you’ve chosen, be prepared to be remembered for it.

On day eleven, a reminder that he said he’d only be a dictator on day one.

Shorter headline:

New President legalizes political violence.

In fairness, when a crisis scenario requires a resignation, the person who needs to resign is usually the last one to reach that conclusion.

Fun fact, the Liberal Laurier Club holiday party is tonight.

Might be the most exciting holiday party since Nakatomi Plaza.

I knew eventually I’d feel personally attacked by content on Bluesky.

“That’s the police, isn’t it?”

“No, they don’t call.”

Reminder that TVO is funded by the Ministry of Education.

This didn’t happen because corporate media bosses weren’t making enough money.

The Ontario government decided what a world filled with misinformation needed, was fewer journalists.

Morning,

Did a quick scan through the other place this morning.

We’re not missing anything.

Every single track on that one album is better than anything and everything Gwen Stefani did solo.

Last I checked, the constitution doesn’t allow for inciting a violent mob to retain power after losing an election either.

I could 100% get behind this emerging trend of teams blowing leads when they’re playing the Leafs, instead of the other way around.

There go the Oilers.

In the weeks and months following Trump’s
Inauguration, there will be stories coming out of America which sound awfully similar to those from the UK post-Brexit.

People are going to find out exactly what they voted for and be unpleasantly surprised that they are affected by the outcomes.
