He is incapable of understanding mutual trade and cooperation. To him every human interaction must have a winner and a loser. So if Canada is benefiting from trade with the US in his mind it must be at America's expense. It's a disturbingly simple view of trade and cooperation, and one that makes actual good faith discourse with the US near impossible.

It is, PP has been threatening the CBC left and right. The commenter probably should have put his name somewhere in there.

Immigrants = scary 🥺

Cons seriously need to come up with new talking points, trying to paint Carney as some kind of WEF great replacement agent clearly wasn't a winning strategy.

I would point out though that a CPC win would have been a terrifying result for future AND current Canadians. So I guess that's a small win?

Well Poilievre, who's party lost tonight, has been extremely limp-wristed in his opposition to Trump's threats, but he hasn't outright said he'd surrender, just implied it with his weak rhetoric. More likely to me is that Trump in his dementia ridden mind was literally calling for people to vote for him. Like somehow enough Canadians would write Trump on their ballots that it would "win" the election for him, which demonstrates such a fundamental lack of understanding about our electoral system that I don't even know where to begin.

Yes. I feel like polls such as Vote Compass are hampered by the fact that they take right wing policies at face value rather than what they actually do once in power.

I envy your willpower. My anxiety wouldn't let me sleep tonight without at least checking how things are going.

Morally and constitutionally no, but good luck living long enough to argue that in a court.

I'm permabanned and they're still sending me stuff. Read the room Reddit, you ended things not me.

Anecdotally that fits my experience. I've refused to use new Reddit at every turn (save the app where you have no choice), and I got permabanned yesterday despite no real escalation in my rhetoric. I've always spoken my mind, and let fascists and conservatives know exactly how low I think of them, and until about a month ago none of it had copped me even a temporary ban.

Even that is getting culled. Reddit recently nuked r/nsfw which is like the OG porn subreddit. Apparently the Reddit execs learned nothing from the demise of Tumblr.
