The USA does have some oil, so what they said is true: by now the USA would be bombing the USA for money freedom.

They stand up for him in the most feeble, token way, once they’re sure it won’t affect the outcome. Then they’ll regretfully run Cuomo.

The Democratic leadership will wait until Mamdani has been deported, or is about to, then make a feeble protest that does nothing, then say “See, we tried but there was nothing we could do, so Cuomo has to be the candidate after all.” They will see this as an opportunity to have the Republicans do their dirty work for them.

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.

This is performative worrying. Just ignore social media and do what you want. It’s not worth wasting time on.

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.

Netanyahu and the Israeli right are determined to keep that conflation of Israeli and Jewish going, through their accusations of antisemitism against anyone who criticizes them. It’s harmful for Jews everywhere, but they don’t care.

Watts confirmed New Zealand had exited the group after the move was reported by Carbon News.

He said he did not think it would have a significant impact on New Zealand’s international reputation.

Reputation among rich assholes? Because it certainly makes NZ look worse to the rest of us.

That’s a shame. He’s consistently an excellent interviewer, asking intelligent and relevant questions, giving people time to speak in depth, and listening to what they have to say. We could do with many more journalists like him. Sad to see him go.

Ah, it has been a few years since I was last traumatized by this. Is it time again?

They used to like to preach about how others should take personal responsibility. But it never rubbed off on them.

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.
