"The β€˜60 Minutes’ interview with Trump showcased everything that is wrong with US political interviews in general. The deferential tone. The lack of preparation. The failure to ask follow-up questions or dig deep into answers. The inability (unwillingness?) to fact-check in real time."

Going from mispronouncing Zohran's name to not pushing back on Trump falsely calling him a communist straight into calling Trump charismatic is a truly incredible eighteen seconds of journalism.

Imagine if Canada was investing in research and universities, instead of burning everything down.

You only get a parade if you win. That's how it works. The participation ribbon ruined generations.

Better than starting the way they did last year.

And it is not like they are coming back. They are leading and then giving it up.

Last year, they came from behind A LOT. This year, they need to learn how to protect the lead . They'll get there.

Straight up fucked that you can’t vote today, even with proof of address, if you didn’t register online two weeks ago.

Thank god I remembered to register, but a friend who wanted to vote for Luc Rabouin just texted that she was turned away.

Montreal needs to fix this. It’s undemocratic.

I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink.

I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.

Not taking about the threats. Over a game - that's just stupid and so wrong.

His explanation is BS. Look at where he was when the ball was hit (there was no secondary lead taken). He's still pretty much on the bag as the ball is going up the middle.

Poilievre finally sits down with Rosemary Barton and shows Canada what a spiteful, hateful, petty, obnoxious loser he is.

OBAMA: β€œIs the economy working better for you? Because it sure has gotten better for Trump & his family… his billionaire friends, finance bros, well-connected corporations have seen their tax bill go down… But for ordinary families, costs have gone UP."

The Ring of Fire is an area with great mining potential, but also great potential for great environmental damage if not done properly. Cutting "red tape" is code for getting rid of enviromental protections and overriding Indigenous rights.

Democrats are expected to provide think tank level policy proposals for every societal ill under the sun (fully paid for too, natch!!) while Republicans are just like "we'll figure something out" and the media nods along.πŸ™ƒ

IKF needed to get off the bag in the first place. He should've been 2 steps closer on his lead AT LEAST. If yoyvwatch it back, its like he wasn't ready. His fault.

Canadians rejected this approach in 2015 but social conditions continued to decline under Justin Trudeau, making it easy for Poilievre to resurrect it. The gap between the rich and poor has exploded to historic highs, triggering a new and worrisome public face of desperation: that which politicians would call crime. And yet, if we’ve never actually been safer before (unless we’re a Shopper’s Drug Mart’s baby food section), why are our politicians hiring more and more cops and changing our bail laws? If crime is not up, what is with all this spending on so-called crime-fighting measures?

The answer is easy: expanding the security state is necessary if the rich are going to keep making the money they are making. They are talking about security not for the people, but of profits. We cannot be allowed to riot. We cannot be allowed to smash the windows of the Royal Bank or Loblaw’s. They know that that’s what comes next and they’re heading us off at the pass … and way too many Canadians are thanking them for their wisdom in doing so.

Bill Gates bends the knee on climate change The Microsoft mega-billionaire's new letter on climate change claims to tell "tough truths". What it really does is display the same easy cowardice that has come to define America's corporate leadersh...

American billionaires have been shameless in trying to buy off Donald Trump with trinkets, baubles, and outright bribes.

By sacrificing his long-held beliefs on climate change (and giving the bad-faith skeptics a win), Bill Gates topped them all. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/01/o...

If we treated police like we're currently treating universities, we could require the police to undertake revenue-raising efforts (like increase traffic enforcement) to compensate for a lack of funding. (Instead, we keep increasing police budgets while hospitals and universities starve).

This is a BS narrative. Crime is down, and we have never been safer.

Canadians need to see Donald Trump for who he really is Canada needs a deal, but it needs to say no, too.

Criticizing Carney is one thing, but criticizing him for not reaching a deal with Trump yet is to miss the biggest, most important point in the world: who and what Trump really is. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...
