hey guys, just got out of my tiny screws technical training class. anything happen while I was gone?

This campaign has got to have the worst policy work in the last 20 years for the major campaigns. Helping structurally displaced workers reskill is straightforward, solid policy, but it has been butchered here trying to appeal to as many groups as possible.

I don't know what it says about modern politics that one of the most successful anti tax campaigns I have seen was directed at non existent tax, but there it is.

🚨SAVAGE: President Trump let’s Canada know who’s in charge: “We don't really want Canada to make cars for us, to put it bluntly. We want to make our own cars — and we're now equipped to do that. I'm running this country. I'm not running Canada."

Celebrating a very Red day in the car while the kids are at practice.

Hellsite releases collective groan as remaining posters discover bots don't vote.

Some recommendations in economic history

Neither Carney nor Canada would have benefited from the prime minister sitting in the White House and trying to antagonize Trump. This isn't a movie or an episode of the West Wing.

Key takeaways from the Trump-Carney meeting: 1) no humiliation; 2) no clarity over what Trump wants in exchange for lifting tariffs; 3) no US openness toward a US-CAN economic and security deal; 4) threats of annexation remain; 5) the two countries will continue to drift apart.

Look. It’s a tough day to be the PM. No one wants to go and participate in Trump’s theatre absurdism, but he did what he had to do. And he did it without going “Keir Starmer”. Trump got a lot of what he wanted in optics, Carney will probably stay focused in the real issues.

And … I wish him the best. This country needs it. He’s wedged between Trump insanity and Danielle Smith trying to engineer own-goals on Canada. You can not like the Liberals. Carney is not my “cup of tea”, but we really need to keep working together.

This basically. Though I assume in the greatest Neville Chamberlin tradition, at some point Trump will take a “piece of paper” he can call a deal. He really just wants the theatre. NAFTA: worst deal ever/USMCA: Best deal ever 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Yes… we’re not even talking about services either. But if this is REALLY what you’re obsessed about we can buy less American manufactured goods and the US can decide if they still want energy. No idea how that’s a win for the US; but I’ll be in line to be a Canadian car.

Have you talked to the premier of Alberta?

Preference are complex. They do not translate the way advocates of ranked ballots and AV systems assume. Voters … are complicated. The key takeaway though is that converting Canadian politics into a two horse race is not a *safe “Conservatives can’t win” space.

The National Post is a joke. Don’t pay for it. It’s like the Enquirer in the grocery store line up: you don’t need it in your life.

We live in amazing times. I hug my kids close.

I’d like to know what acctual Conservatives believe about this.

Well… we have had free trade since basically the 1950’s… so that would be okay … I guess. But… why did the President have to crash the global economy to learn how North America works? Like… he could have read something, or listened to people? Just thinking out loud.
