C’est donc ben une drôle de pub électorale.
Pierre Poilievre admet que son ton fatiguant tape sur les nerfs, mais c’est supposé être une bonne chose parce que… Trump?
China is open to free trade with Canada.
In another time, I’d be against this. But since we’re now dealing with American tariffs, the Canadian economy needs to diversify.
Of course, free trade with China would also mean they don’t own our critical resources.

Watched the first 15 minutes of The Electric State—then shut it off.
Don’t know what it is about Netflix, but no matter what they spend—this time, $320M—their movies are always Netflix-y.
Premier Smith is either drunk or so deluded that she’s living in a fantasy world.

Steve Forbes talking about how disastrous annexing Canada would be.
