It's really embarrassing to see opposition types try and make political hay over the "who cares?" quip by the PM re: Trump trade talks.

To be clear, the US president is a deranged, senile, pathological liar and malignant narcissist, and Conservatives think we should be talking to him *more*? GTFOH.

I really hope that one day in the not-too-distant future, Canada can look back on the time before universal basic income, and consider it to be as backwards and uncivilized as the times before we had universal healthcare.
Farmers will lobby Ottawa for $50K guaranteed annual income pilot program #Canada

Members also voted to lobby Ottawa for a cap on the profits of major grocery chains, such as Sobeys or Loblaws, that control the lion’s share of the market.

I'll reserve judgement, but if the deal struck between the PM and Alberta is that a pipeline can only get built if there's a business case (which there isn't and likely won't be) and a buy-in from First Nations and BC (which there isn't and likely wouldn't be), then yeah this seems pretty much fine.
Once again, folks: any deal between Alberta and Ottawa that requires a) BC's approval, and b) significant support from coastal First Nations is a deal for a pipeline that will never happen.

If Carney can get Smith to agree to ratchet up industrial carbon pricing in exchange? That feels like a win.

I wonder if this will make people actually slow their roll in terms of taking information from people they do not know as sacrosanct. Probably not. The amount of lying and deception online is overwhelming.

The modern international fascist movement is not nessicarily based in the ideological nationalism of any one particular country (although its agents certainly exploit regional nationalist sentiment).

It's more of a global insurgency funded by dark money and enabled by irresponsible tech platforms.

This, right here, is what future war crimes prosecutors will describe as "mens rea", or "consciousness of guilt", which is an important legal principle to establish when seeking a conviction.

Look, remorseful Trump voters - We don't care. Eat shit. You will *never* be forgiven.

You don't get to vote for the guy with these signs, and then ever get to pretend to be a part of decent human society ever again.
If only there had been signs....

Many Trump voters will experience buyers remorse, as they begin to personally experience the horrific consequences that they had hoped would only befall the people they consider to be socially or racially inferior.

Those people can all get fucked.

One of the big problems that folks tend to have with modern politicians is the idea that many of them don't really stand for anything other than their own ambition, and constantly hide their real beliefs behind a ghillie suit of focus-group-tested moral triangulation.

Not so, with Zack Polanski.
"You can agree or disagree with him, but Polanski does not pretend to be something he is not.

He is unusually willing for a politician to give a straight answer to questions.

Does he want to rejoin the EU? “Yes."

The PM has gotten a lot of grief for somehow not single-handedly repairing the Canada/US trading relationship (as if anyone could). But really, that's not why we elected him.

We elected him to *replace* the Canada/US trading relationship, and he's been doing a pretty solid job of it, I'd say!
By making deals abroad and building major projects at home, we’re sending a clear message to the world: Canada is ready to build. Build with us.

"US Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, an emblem of fascism and white supremacy inextricably linked to the murder of millions of Jews and that more than 400,000 US troops died fighting against in World War II, as a hate symbol, according to a new policy that takes effect next month."

Abroad, they bomb boats for alleged crimes, but they don't arrest the survivors because they know they can't prove anything.

At home, they shoot civilians who impede their mass kidnapping spree, and then charge them with bogus crimes that fall apart immediately.

I'm sensing a pattern here.

There are none so blind as those who will not see. As the saying goes.

The mind recoils against the horror of Trump, and everything he represents. It desperately tries to weave excuses to cling to normalcy.

But the situation really is as bad as it appears. If anything, it's much much worse.
Someone recently questioned me about whether I was actually being serious when I spoke of the serious threat posed to our nation.
They wondered if I was fear-mongering about Trump.
I wish I was.
I really wish I was.

So, Canada can either get fighter jets that can be remotely deactivated by our enemy, and closer economic ties with a despicable fascist regime.

OR, we could get fighter jets which can't be remotely deactivated by our enemy, and no economic ties with a despicable fascist regime.

Tough call!
