Watching Andrew Scheer come on TV and spin a web of absolute bullshit is forever a frustrating exercise. Mad props to David Cochrane for trying to cut through it, but man, this shouldn't be necessary because this is not how we should do politics in this country. #PnPCBC

It's amazing how re-watchable The Expanse is.
Just decided to start binging it again the other day. About 1/2 way through season 2 now.
Just totally worth it for the weekend...
Still skipping season 4. Can't stand the whole Ilus storyline.
