I know weβre resigned after so many years of it but for real, social media giving high-ranking elected government officials the ability to harass individual private citizens by name for an audience of millions as a recreational pastime is actually Caligula shit if you think about it

The Illusion of Meaningful Action
"It'll be years before anyone knows it's wrong."
If you heard Andrew Furey talking about being strategic, here's what means:

Privilege and Entitlement
Liberals caught lying by omission.

John Hogan shat the bed before he officially said he's a candidate to be Premier.
But everyone knows he's Furey 2, the Newfie Liberals next Carney.

I didn't claim he had called for a ceasefire.
You did.
He also does not say without guarantees - your next misreading - since those would need to be worked out, as he says.
Thereby putting the ball in the UK/FR court as he says.

The Humours of Politics
Plus the choices for Prime Minister 40
Politics is always fun, even when it seems like it isn;t.
Last week there was lots of fun in NL politics.
And we can also give you a better idea of who is likely to the 40th Prime Minister of NL.

Team Furey's latest scandal
Land that was worth $71,000 an acre in 2025 dollars just got handed to a politically-connected company for a mere $5,500 an acre.
And the government Team Furey is in another patronage scandal only four months after the last one and with an election looming.
