One thing that I was thought was revealing about the divisions within Canada:

When Carney acknowledged Poilievre's hard work on his campaign in his victory speed, the crowd of Liberals cheered.

When Poilievre mentioned Carney in his concession speech, there was loud booing.

Poilievre losing his seat is almost Shakespearean: Pretender to the throne riles countrymen with anger, gets defeated by guy with Joy in his name. It’s basically Macbeth.

Good:

* Poilievre isn't Prime Minister.
* Poilevre lost his own seat.

Bad:

* Everything has shifted substantially rightward.
* 40% of popular vote and +20 seats for Cons.
* Basically a two-party parliament of centre right and far right.
* Left leaning parties wiped out.

Pierre Poilievre team attempts to muzzle journalists at campaign stops.
Only 4 questions per event allowed, ZERO follow up, journalist asking question chosen in advance by Pierre Poilievre team. No media allowed to travel with Pierre. No media allowed to speak to attendees at events. #cdnpoli

Yes, the captain intentionally piloted the ship into a huge iceberg, cracking the vessel like an egg.

But the officers insist we'll all greatly benefit from an invigorating midnight swim through Arctic waters.

Rand Paul: "We have to start from talking about the truth. One of the things they say with Canada is, 'Oh, there's a 270% tariffs on dairy products going from the US into Canada.' Well you know what the real tariffs is? Zero. That's a big difference between what the truth is."

We are going to have the worst market day in decades, worst 5 all time for sure. That’s after the Dow lost 10% in 2 days last week.

For no reason.

I’m old enough to remember when we used to stand up for ourselves.

We often look back on the seminal moments in our history and wonder "What would I have done?"

This is our moment. This is our time.

We must stand up. We must speak out. We must do everything we can to stop a President who has every intention of destroying our democracy.

I am comforted that the people who love tariffs are going to get them, good and hard.

Republicans in Congress had a shit sandwich to eat with Elon and DOGE.

Now they’re utterly, absolutely eating a full fecal buffet.

Canadian auto jobs have always belonged to Canadians. We’ve built the auto sector together with the USA over 120 years.

Farm families earn more than non-farm families.

Farm families are wealthier than non-farm families.

If Americans are to pay high tariffs to bring back toaster-making jobs, farmers should bear their share of the sacrifice. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Americans, I say this with love, literally no one but Russia and Israel and North Korea likes your country anymore. No one. We all are terribly worried for the people but as a state, no one likes you nor will it ever be the same again. There will be a new world order, America will not be running it.
