If you were ever lucky enough to complain that politics was boring to you, welcome to what politics is like when it's interesting.

I'm glad that America is doing real classic end of empire stuff. A king who is visibly losing his mind declaring a war based on a dream he had. Greedy courtiers feuding over access to the treasury. Some looks are timeless.

Mayor Ken Sim wandering in & out of Council during votes eating a sandwich, & now Kirby-Yung—who's married to an ex-cop BCNDP MLA no less—driving while in council via video.

They clearly think they're above normal codes #vanpoli #bcpoli

I dunno… should I also be posting cute pictures of my dog here?

Why does Poilievre keep saying the Nazis were socialists?

A right-wing interpretation of history links fascism and socialism. How accurate is it? A Tyee explainer.

I feel like we live in a frat house

The fascist Conservatives are not stupid. They are calculating and conspiring to increase profits for oligarchs, billionaires, and the capital class.
