“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
Trump: "They cheated on a commercial. Ronald Reagan loved tariffs and they said he didn't. And I guess it was AI or something. They cheated badly. Canada got caught cheating on a commercial. Can you believe it?"

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

And maybe he really likes to bully Canada.
A few weeks ago, he was dangling tariffs because of Canada‘s Middle East policy. Before it was fentanyl. And migration. And now it’s a TV ad. Maybe… stay with me here but…

Maybe… he just really likes tariffs.

This document is … insane? Incredible?

In it the USG shakes down a university for $1.17 BILLION “to avoid legal action” and dictates how hiring, promotion, admissions, scholarships, and CURRICULA REVIEW will be conducted. It stipulates how and when students can protest on campus.

It is un-American

When you see the steady drumbeat of arrests of Russian recruits for sabotage etc across the UK and Europe, and no equivalent announcements in the US, you can be sure we are missing cases, and mislabeling other arrests.

His domestic policy is Orbanism, his foreign policy is Putinism, and his economic policy is 17th Century mercantilism.

Honestly, I think part of it is a signal that he thinks of Latin America as his, and Europe as Putin's.

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

If I were a rank-and-file Liberal, I'd be worried that Carney, who has no stake in the party's long-term health, is burning its credibility and future by pursuing an ideology that should have no place within even the famously elastic parameters of Canadian Liberalism.

Remarkably blunt words from Andrew Coyne. Hard to say he's wrong, incredibly worrying, and not at all what Liberal voters voted for.
Coyne: The Liberals under Carney have taken "a decisive turn toward illiberalism: harsh on immigration, thuggish on criminal justice, cozy with dictatorships."
Opinion: Canadian politics enters its era of Illiberals and Unconservatives
It isn’t that the parties have converged on the middle - rather, they have converged on populism

Pausing the ads so that trade talks can resume.

Talks with a thin-skinned wannabe authoritarian who can't be trusted to keep his word and who's just shown everyone -- again -- that he isn't a reliable negotiating partner.

This isn't strategic. This is flailing.

So preposterously unconstitutional, but also: active duty military payroll is more than $3b **per week.** This is a pittance of that. It has nothing to do with helping out the troops- they want to establish the precedent that Trump can bypass Congress and fund the government with anonymous bribes.
