See if you can get the Canadian feed on Sportsnet.

Vladimir Putin wants the US to break apart. Trump is helping him realize that goal, as are the countless stooges who still support Trump.

It’s basically an outhouse at this point. Paradoxically though, Grok has gotten much better.

Sorry, I’m mistaken. He is still very much a politician. He is a current Tory MP.

Tom Tugendhat is a very well known former politician in the UK.

Unidentified agents arrest people off the street or from their homes, move them to prisons hundreds of miles away w/out notifying family members, and hold them w/out charge in violation of habeas corpus. Let’s call it what it is. This is Nazi-like behaviour.

And people say Canadians are overreacting when we say we’re not visiting the US for the duration.

That's where I heard the execrable "Kokomo" for the first time. There are some things you can't forget.

(BTW, I'm a huge Beach Boys fan, so don't @ me. The '80s weren't a great time for their music.)

I've always thought that wasn't a real movie and just an excuse for the Dan to release a non-album single.

Anything with ELO and ON-J can't be all bad.

And John revealed in one of his last interviews that the group is singing "tit-tit-tit" in the bridge to "Girl". Pretty sophomoric! But amusing.

Is “git” considered swearing? The Beatles got away with it in 1968.

I have very low expectations, so of course I’ll see it.

There was a bourgeoisie in ancient Athens? Marx would have been nonplussed.

Marcuse assumed, without evidence, that he was living in “the highest stage of capitalism”. Empiricism was not his strong suit.

The Trump admin is effectively making SCOTUS the trial court of first instance for constitutional questions. Once the judges figure that out, they will not be happy.

Back in 2015 when Trump was still just a candidate, I commented on how he always used to refer to the “reigns“ of previous presidents. I said it was not a good omen for how he might govern if elected. You have to pay attention to the words people use.

I was just thinking that today. It’s all the excuse he’s been looking for for the last two months.

When Cardinal Wojtyla of Poland became Pope John Paul II in 1978, he very quickly became an alternative authority and voice for all Poles, and everyone else in Europe living under Soviet control.

Something to think about.

I wasn’t aware of that. I certainly don’t follow any Nazis. Substack is the only place to read Wells, who is one of the top political reporters in Canada, in my opinion anyway.

“We have learned from our history….” Sick burn. The question is whether Rubio will have any idea what he’s referring to.
