When I’ve “Crossed the finish line” I want a closed casket funeral. At the end of the service I want the organ player to play “Pop Goes the Weasel” over and over until everyone is staring at the coffin in horrified anticipation.😉

I would pay more attention to an opposition that has some policy depth to offer.

These “conservatives” do not.

As for PeePee; I often refer to him as the “Coin-a-matic Conservative”.

RFK Jr. will not be content until he has created the ideal conditions for an extinction level pandemic…

It’s not simply irresponsible; it’s criminally negligent.

“Responsibility” for pipeline decisions is more than just appeasing a provincial premier (who has no project planned & funded); it requires strong consensus and support from all stakeholders and impacted parties to be successful.

That may be too many words for Dani Smith and PeePee to understand.

Dumpsterfire Donald and his cabinet are the perfect examples…

Canada is home for a good many quality distilleries, vineyards, and breweries. They re not just a substitute, but are often a superior choice over American brands.

With a little effort and support, they can take a large bite out of American distiller’s global market share.

Other industries too!

Fascism = Colonialism*

There’s a certain tone of voice [like Boris Johnson, Rees-Mogg & Farage] that makes the hairs on Irish people’s necks stand up. We instantly associate it with colonial untrustworthiness.

Here ‘Rah’ is another name for IRA. You can’t imagine how much Farage is despised here.

Not to be outdone by PeePee who was (not long ago) described as a dick during a news show,

Dumpsterfire Donnie just increased the cost to importers of Chinese goods by 100%. Importers will have no choice but to increase the price paid by American consumers.

In the interim, China will retaliate, possibly closing their markets to more U.S. products (can you say soybean?)

Brilliant!
