It’s hard to vote in a principled way knowing that it will lead to one more Conservative MP. We are in a bind with this electoral system, and of course the Liberals benefit most from it so will never change it.

That said, if the Liberals keep acting enough like Conservatives that people don’t see a significant difference between their policies, it could undermine strategic voting and open the door to other parties.

Well, surely just one little capitulation will win Trump’s favour, and not sent him the message that Canada’s weak and he should push for more, right?

Well, he lasted a good few weeks.

Replaced by the Conservatives who will try even harder to do everything Trump wants, because they have always wanted to turn Canada into the USA? We’re in a bit of a sticky spot here.

Yes, end those subscriptions to US services, boycott US companies, do the work that Carney won’t do.

Liberals will never save us. Unfortunately the electoral system screws us.

10 felt good compared to 8 and 8.1. But that was a very low bar.

Didn’t the USA have a trade agreement with Canada (NAFTA) which Trump ripped up during his first presidency? And then during that same presidency didn’t Canada and the USA negotiate a new one (USMCA), which Trump ripped up during his second presidency?

They came to an agreement with Canada too, and Iran, before they suddenly decided they didn’t. Agreements with the USA aren’t worth much.

I seem to remember he took a poster off the wall to keep as a souvenir, so they killed him. Don’t touch the posters, people.

Seems like in the USA everyone gets treated badly all of the time, except the very richest.

No one is immune to a concerted propaganda campaign. American propaganda has just been a bit more extreme than most, for a bit longer.

You have 10 minutes to clear your desk and get out. Not a team player!

The investment in demonizing scapegoat groups does seem to pay off for the far right. It helps them sell their own ideology as a solution for people’s woes, if they can convince people their problems are caused by the designated scapegoats. It effectively distracts people from the plunder of their lives by rich kleptocrats, while filling them with the kind of misdirected hatred that fascism thrives on.

Hmm, they sound nice.

That’s a difficult choice. So many good candidates. But we’re still nicer than that, for now.

If it gets wrong enough, people will stop using it. So it would be in the interests of AI companies to pay for good sources of data.

Or at least you’d hope that. In actual fact they’ll be thinking: let’s keep stealing because most people don’t know or care whether what the AI says is true. Besides, they can make money by turning it into a tool for disseminating the views of those who can pay the most.

A Russian who has opposed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Trump’s probably on the phone to Putin promising her delivery right now. It’s one less academic in the USA too - from MAGA’s perspective everybody wins!

I think the intel was wrong

The intel said that Iran was not developing nuclear weapons. The strikes happened because Trump decided to ignore the intel in favor of the random imaginings in his head, and no doubt Netanyahu encouraged him.
