Carney must go for the jugular
Canadians are looking for the person who can help guide the country through the economic and political storms of the next four years, not their own populist sloganeer.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Canada, let’s clarify.
Elon Musk has been in contact with Putin for the last two years and supports:
- Neo Nazi AfD Party in Germany
- far right Reform UK leader Farage
- Hungarian dictator Orban
- Canadian Con leader Poilievre
How long will it take before Canada wakes up?

Despite Trump’s knee-jerk decision to blame the New Orleans terrorist attack on an immigrant, the suspect is actually a 42-year-old US Army veteran who was born and raised in Texas. He was apparently radicalized online.
