Congratulations to Mark Carney on gaining a majority government this evening, he’s the best option we have to try and guide Canada through these turbulent times. He is greatly respected by both friends and adversaries alike on the world stage, we are lucky to have him.🇨🇦

This will also not be good news for conservative leader Pierre Poilievre whose leadership position in the party has been dubious at best since the last election result. No more frivolous and expensive election challenges until 2029.

It has become eminently clear that not dealing with corruption effectively is an extremely EXPENSIVE proposition. Tariffs, legal fees over lawsuits, military deployments over an avoidable war, the destruction of oil infrastructure and rising gas prices due to the Strait, all stemming from aversion.

Pan Bondi has seen everything, she is a megaton of Epstein dynamite that could do the funniest thing if Trump fires her…

In the spirit of his America First award I submit to you - “Trophies for Trump” - send all your old trophies to the White House, let Donald amass the greatest trophy collection like no one has ever seen before. He really needs this folks, and he deserves it…

Possible series of events (just spitballing here) - Trump starts Epstein war in Iran - Domestic terrorism event (false flag?) occurs - Trump declares martial law - Elections cancelled Could be crazy but who knows with this guy and Bibi…

Trump is running into a bit of an Epstein conundrum. Pam Bondi said Maxwell should rot in jail, but Trump has to keep Maxwell happy or she could spill what she knows, probably very damaging to Trump. At the same time, Bondi knows an immense amount about what’s in the files, she has leverage too.

Congratulations Republican Congress, the founding fathers really didn’t forsee such a completely spineless response to a lawless president, they really thought someone would do something. I’m sure you’ve made them proud.

“Hey there NYC, I’m a time traveller coming to you from the future to the year 2002. In 2026 Donald Trump is President, and your Mayor is a Muslim immigrant from Uganda. and they love the Muslim guy. Trump, well, y’know…he hasn’t changed much.” Congrats NYC, you’re an amazing place.

As if the lies aren’t bad enough, listening to RFK Jr. garble his mangled voice though anything is like the seventh circle of hell. I don’t normally comment on that sort of thing, but honestly…

CDN here, ran into a cottage neighbour today from Michigan who we see a few times every summer in 🇨🇦 on Lake Erie. Her grade 6 daughter spent a day earlier this week delivering meals and groceries to homes of people who were too afraid of ICE to go out and get food. I just can’t even…

I can’t get enough of Trump talking about “law and order”, coming from the most lawless criminal the country has ever seen as president. The irony is painfully cringe worthy…

I don’t usually allow myself to go there, but I do wonder sometimes about Elon and Donald and the validity of the last election results. If there are bodies, Elon would know where they are buried. It would be mutually assured destruction, but I wonder if Trump is nervous about any of that…

There’s a new support group forming in America, the Sensitive Oppressed, Billionaires club, or “SOB”. Please take a moment to consider their feelings and what they must be going through right now, they desperately need your empathy…

Elon backtracked on DOGE savings goals from $1 trillion to $150 billion. But watchdogs report only $12.6 billion in verifiable savings. That represents just 0.173% of the U.S. federal budget for 2025. We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

Finally deactivated my X account, the chuds and bots are unbearable now. I rarely posted but read and commented some, and even the posts I agreed with were getting crapped up by all these wackos. I don’t need an echo chamber, but there are some really shitty people out there. Much better here…🇨🇦

As a Canadian, it’s hard to accept that people I know on the other side of the border voted for Trump. As of Saturday, 25% tariffs are being enacted, it’s a knife in the back to one of the longest standing allies of the US. So unnecessarily disruptive, so childish, so uninformed. Fuck you Donnie…🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

The clincher at that disastrous press conference was Trump talking about the “best and brightest” being needed in the government and their agencies. Not long after his rambling, Hegseth and Vance came to the podium as RFK and Patel faced their confirmation hearings. The irony was not lost on me…

“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always.” - Ghandi

All the US vs. Nazi movies that have been made (never mind the WORLD WAR that was fought to defeat them) are feeling a little bizarro world at the moment…

When your MAGA uncle wonders why Trump is threatening tariffs and raising the prices of everything, after he repeatedly promised to do the opposite, look him straight in the eye and gently whisper: "It was never about you...and now he doesn't need you anymore"

A future conversation... "Dad, how could people want things to be so bad?" "Well son, we used the internet mostly for porn and screaming our feelings. When it came time to look up things like "fascism" and "tariffs" I'm afraid it was a bridge too far for most."

CDN here, here’s the deal: Trudeau is a pretty good PM who is getting rat fucked by the Conservative provincial premiers. The federal govt sends transfer payments to the provinces to pay for things like healthcare & education. The premiers are sitting on that $ and starving those services out.. 1/3

…and saying it’s Trudeau’s fault that everything is broken or falling apart. Meanwhile ex hash dealer and Ontario premier Doug Ford is selling off our province to his mob friends, just last week set up some BS $100 million Starlink deal for who knows what or why. JT isn’t perfect but we’re… 2/3

…getting screwed by a cartel of Conservative premiers. JT’s biggest miscalculation was probably immigration levels which he has dialled back. He’s getting a raw deal and many of us can’t stand Poilievre, he’s a slimy weasel who refuses to get security clearance and wants to be PM. What a joke…

Us waiting for QAnon to protest the fact that Trump picked alleged child sex traffickers, sexual abusers, billionaire elites, and a Soros’ protégé to fill his administration

Took our daughter to Taylor Swift in Toronto last night, I was the driver & hung out at a sports bar while my wife and her went in. So well run, atmosphere was so friendly, people paying each other compliments, just being kind and there to have fun. The world needs more of this energy right now.

Really curious how the midterms shake out in 2 years, outside of any recounts (not looking likely at this point), this will be the best chance to try and mitigate the damage Trump will do. I think a number of people are going to realize they’ve made a big mistake…

I really wanted to buy into Joe Scarborough, I enjoyed his commentary. But thinking further about it as a former politician, to paraphrase one of my favourite movie lines, “he is anything he needs to be at any given time…”

You are up to date.
