His elbows-up enthusiasm won him the election. Now he’s governing like a Bay Street exec.

So @thewalrus.ca bills itself as "Canada's Conversation". But this piece about Dana Carney is relentlessly American in its framing, repeatedly referring to her as Canada's First Lady (not in scare quotes) and insisting that she play a political role she did not ask for. thewalrus.ca/diana-fox-ca...

Months after the federal election, Canada’s unofficial “first lady” remains an enigma

Recall the response of leading Dems to Trump's threats to annex Canada was to sit around fantasising about how many congressional seats they would pick up; so yeah they're all just a huge part of the problem. Stop waiting for Dems to save you.

It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.

one of the smart things that Newsom is doing here is implicitly calling out the insanity of how much Trump has been normalized by media by forcing them to think about what it looks like when somebody else does it

One of two things happens in Alaska today. One is Trump gets completely rolled by Putin, as happened with the Taliban. The other is Trump bails when he realises Putin wants war. In either scenario, the war continues. There is no world where Trump makes it unacceptable for Putin to continue.
