Welcome to the Messy Middle Despite the future being unknowable, we do know getting there is going to be messy

New Substack is out!

I think you’re right

Live in rural Alberta w/ many Progressive Conservative friends quietly sharing they are voting Liberal today.

Reform friends who also hear this tell me “those PCs weren’t REAL conservatives anyways.”

If you want to win elections, that’s probably the wrong answer.

LOL

Definitely didn’t predict this 6 months ago

Who’s ready for a spring election?

I wonder what a post-US having any goodwill world looks like because that’s where we’re headed.

A schoolyard bully can pick on a handful of kids at any one time, but they can’t take on the whole playground at once

That’s where Trump is headed

Thanks for that

🙏🏽 can’t wait for our two countries to be on the other side of this.

Pass around this list of Canadian products.

Trudeau’s just gave the most inspiring speech I’ve heard from a Canadian politician in a very long time.

#TrumpTarriffs

My anti-socialism friends define socialism as collecting wealth from citizens and redistributing it among all citizens.

Fair.

Isn’t Trump collecting tariffs from Americans and redistributing it in place of income taxes socialism then?

Honest confusion.

FYI: Legislatively and Constitutionally, it’s easier for a state to join Canada than for a Province or Territory to join the USA.

This is a great thread for Canadians to read. When we remove government as the guarantor of debt, this is the kind of system you get. One of many reasons for core services in Canadian healthcare to remain publicly funded.

Fair

With all the influence Elon Musk is exerting in American politics right now, wonder at what point does he get blamed if America’s problems get worse

😩😩😩

I haven’t been this interested in Canadian Politics for months.

My own reading of @cafreeland’s resignation letter is a criticism of character more than competence of the Prime Minister (though that’s sprinkled in too).

If Canadians share that view, politicians can recover from one but not the other.

Guess which.

Wow, wasn’t on my December Bingo card

😂

In the end, politics are about going where your message is heard

More practical to ask, "Is my message being heard in the way I'm trying to communicate it?" and "Is it moving folks to behave differently (ie - vote, donate, etc)?"

There's little point to stay in a place you're message isn't heard.

Can we force our way into a desired future? Looks like politicians are still going to give it a try

The next four years of domestic and foreign policy are going to be great for content creators. Not so clear if they will be as great for citizens.

Another example of deregulation not being a good thing

President-elect Trumps foreign and domestic policy looks more and more like micromanaging public and private life

So much for limited government

HOLY CROW
