Watching the inevitable critics of Carney's performance with Trump today, I am reminded of the two bits of advice I used to give clients: Don't antagonize people who can inflict serious harm on you. Don't start fights with crazy people. There are other routes to success than confrontation. #cdnpoli

Anyone surprised in the current political environment?

The buried lede: “The threat of political pushback from the left has proven to be irrelevant to these justices. It’s not likely to be the deciding factor with gay marriage, either.”

Solution? Move to Canada! 🍁

At Christie Pits of all places — @charlieangus104.bsky.social is right. Corporate media framing this like “two competing immigration rallies in debate” is manufacturing consent in real time.

This is why I support independent journalism, not corporate news.

I fully expect when the HoC opens on Monday someone on the CPC bench is going to try and get a moment of silence or something for Charlie Kirk— a foreign citizen who held no public office, and then use it to derail things. Like they did in the UK parliament.

'Champing at the bit': Newsom's labor allies plan redistricting ground game Powerhouse California unions and advocacy groups are gearing up for a massive campaign.

An expansive network of labor juggernauts and Democratic-aligned groups is pledging to help the campaign to gerrymander California’s congressional map with its ground game and field operation.

Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it

My take;

Carney knows that the American boycott that Canadians are employing is enough of a response to Trump's America.

Retaliatory tariffs just piss off Trump. That much we've learned.

Let the consumer deal with Trump via the pocket book.
Carney knows what he's doing.
