"There is an almost primal need to try and claim credit for Ukrainian successes when Ukraine is getting praised and at the same time throw Ukraine under the bus when the narrative turns against them."

Hi All, Just sent out this post. The recent rush of the USG to claim great credit for the Ukrainian campaign against Russian refineries is typical success leeching that we have seen in this war. The US could help in one way, but it others the claims are laughable. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Just watched a clip of Poilievre talking about Charlie Kirk, who killed him, and why. And it was not very different from what Trump says: blaming the authoritarian, violent left. It's an ideologically warped distortion field. Pierre may be worried about the leadership review. Or he might believe it.

Pierre Poilievre lecturing Canadians about “merit” is peak irony from a man whose whole career has been political patronage.

CBC cuts through the spin so Canadians can see the difference between slogans and substance.

Bring back Pierre Trudeau's "if you don't make it here you don't sell it here." Petro Canada in retrospect was a fantastic idea that would have freed us from our American gasoline yoke. Look to the past to plan for the future

Let’s stop pretending. The issue before the Supreme Court right now is easy to understand: There are still many people on the far right who don’t see Black Americans as equals...they see them through the same filthy slur they whisper when the cameras are off. That's right...that word.

Was just taking about Brian “brown $ envelope” Mulroney, who ushered neoliberalism in Canadian politics. He was caught accepting envelopes of cash from Karlheinz Schreiber (Airbus Scandal). He then sued the Canadian gov’t and received an apology & 2.1 million. WTF. Crime does pay.
