If Joe Biden, etc.

In this sense of duties, capacity, & daily activity, Donald Trump is actually the president everyone pretended Joe Biden was

Bonus points if this all ends with her joining Guthrie and Sinclair!

(And yes, I am aware these are folks at a party convention; they’re not critical cases. My tongue-in-cheek point is that these identities matter and are hard to shake.)

If they support it, then they won’t! My interest would be in the marginal left voters (read: NDP voters who know that isn’t an effective choice right now) in certain ridings. The distribution of support matters.

Maybe, partisanship is sticky, so I have a hard timing seeing that in Alberta, but maybe!

(2/2) He holds the confidence of a minority Parliament, and might have just depressed voters on the left in many Liberal BC ridings. Time will tell!

I'll defer to folks like @maxfawcett.bsky.social and @aleach.ca on whether the MOU is sound energy policy in our current moment, but tangential to Stewart's argument is that yesterday's agreement is a significant electoral gamble for Carney. (1/2)

Politicians leave cabinets and caucuses for a host of reasons.

According to our analysis, most do so on matters of conviction (policy and ideology) rather than ambition (votes or office).

Ah, got it! Thanks!

Was it a non-starter because it (EOR) doesn't promote clean technology or outcomes?

Today is a good day to remind you that none of the classic vote studies thought very highly of women's political competence.

Not only is this terribly anti-immigrant, it's an excellent example of flawed causal analysis. Sigh...

Today, government introduced Bill 9 legislation invoking the notwithstanding clause to override a court ruling that protects youth access to gender-affirming care. This places government between a patient and their physician, undermining clinical autonomy. www.albertadoctors.org/news/publica...

This is what's at stake.

The UCP is not only dodging its responsibility to explain how Bill 9 is in any way proportionate or justifiable in a free and democratic society.

They are putting children at far greater risk of suicide.

AI presents a fundamental threat to our ability to use polls to assess public opinion. Bad actors who are able to infiltrate panels can flip close election polls for less than the cost of a Starbucks coffee. Models will also infer and confirm hypotheses in experiments. Current quality checks fail

Important paper. So far most of the potential solutions I've seen mentioned (in-person surveys, high-quality/validated panels, address-based sampling) cost lots of money and will thus deepen divides based on resources. Something that we'll also need to grapple with.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

I think I now understand why they had to invent Gen-AI, many of our wealthy elites actually cannot type out complete sentences or spell

High levels of party discipline mean that NES is a deviant case. That said, I wonder if he has just enough approved content to make acceptable? 🤷‍♂️

From @althiaraj.bsky.social’s reporting yesterday — on Wednesday, the Conservative *forgot* to introduce their budget amendment?! Remarkable. #cdnpoli
