Same here. I’ll be writing them to let them know that they lost my vote not from strategic voting but from a poorly explained and promoted platform. I want them to succeed but they need a leadership change and the resolve to reach toward more aggressively progressive goals.

“Doctor, please help him! He’s been stammering for 47 minutes!”

Doctor checks pupil dilation

“Can you tell me your name, son?”

PP, clutching doctors shirt collar

“Lost….

Liberal…

Decaaaaaade!!!”

This is a product that didn’t need to be built. Since it has, I’m at least pleased there are efforts to keep them from being relegated to landfills.

That’s exactly it. No impulse control at all.

Keep it coming. When villains who announce their evil plans it never leads to their undoing.

This week’s final offer isn’t very good. I’ll wait for next week’s final offer, or the one after that.

Good riddance. Now do Teams.

They want the authority to decide what appropriate sentencing is for serious offenses with the promise to put criminals behind bars for their entire lives. And they also want to be able to decide what constitutes a serious offense. Can’t see anything wrong with that.

In line at the polls now, at least an hour wait on Saturday morning. Annoying but good to see folks turn up.

You can’t threaten to pull out of peace talks and dictate terms at the same time. This is not a state that wants to be treated seriously on the world stage.

Unfortunately for PP, most Canadians seem to be interested in reducing the amount of avoidable garbage in everyday life.

I would hope this would be a coalition not a single choice. Putting all of democracy’s eggs in one basket seems too precarious given current circumstances.

France and Germany are both ready to step up to be the new voice of the western world. I will be glad when the US finally finishes falling down the “up” escalator so they can get out of the way of serious peace talk attempts.

I won’t feel safe enough to go back ever. Even if all the politicians get voted out or imprisoned the ICE and CBP agents who are kidnapping people will still be employed.

Sure. Just as long as responsibility isn’t allowed to be hung on just one person.

Normalize calling it “the Republican administration”. It’s not just one person it’s a fetid mass of enablers.

And let them be upset. What are they going to do: withdraw support and start an ill-advised trade war? That’s already happened. That’s what being “a friend” of the US gets you.

It’s true. My favorite tech podcast will (correctly) trumpet trans rights or BLM when it comes up in the news but haven’t said shit about Canada. They only bring up tariffs now in the context of their Switch 2 preorders getting delayed or their phones maybe getting more expensive.

So cancel that membership when it comes up for renewal, I guess.

My partner didn’t feel kicks until well intro pregnancy due to fetal position. It was very troubling (everything turned out okay.)

How odd to be cheering for China to stick to their guns.

It’s so much better on the other side.

Conversations with friends are more meaningful. Nobody hears what I’ve been up to until they ask, and because I haven’t pre-announced my life over socials I’ve noticed they’re more interested and they pay more attention.

So probably gone by Friday. We’ve seen this dance and we know how it keeps playing out.
