Like Pete Hegseth, JD Vance is a small man.

I know we’re 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

This is a time for leaders. The threats are real. Our politicians are not.

This is a time for Canadian leaders, but they reach for the door.

JD Vance’s cousin Nate Vance on why the Vice President is misguided on Russia: I personally witnessed them shooting their own troops… it’s has happened quite a bit. They are not our allies and they never will be.

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.

open.substack.com/pub/edhollet...

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.

Not a good start.

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.

He does not say UA should cease fire but call for one.

There is a huge difference between those two things.

A huge difference you and some of your readers clearly do not see.

My evidence is that your claim that the Amb is 180 degrees offside with UK policy is preposterous on the face of it.

You need to prove your claim first.

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.

A Typically Furey-ous Exit Furey, the prototype Carney, leaves his Team in a jam

"For the federal Liberals and for political observers nationally, Andrew Furey’s quick and troubled tenure as Premier and his sudden run for the door are a warning."

Andrew's Kids 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.

We are under attack by the Americans but locally brewed beer owned by multinationals will be safe from competition.
