I hope that Democrats realize what’s happening in Minnesota is also a dry run for what the regime has planned for the midterms.

@crof.bsky.social: At first, Mark Carney’s 2021 book “Value(s): Building a Better World for All” seems like an attempt to portray capitalism with a human face.
But after his Davos speech, it also offers glimpses of how he intends to build a resilient Canada next door to a collapsing power.

“What those Coloradans did, leading up to today’s insurrection, is on them. Whether the rest of us on Colorado remember what they did, is on us.”
