When I criticize the Liberal government in any way at all, no matter how reasonable, my free and paid subscribers on Substack go down. This dynamic creates a perverse incentive, which I refuse to give in to.
But this is a major problem.

Beautiful letter by Fae Johnstone of Queer Momentum. Shutting down the conversation is now a feature of conservative politics.
Danielle Smith’s push to suspend charter rights of trans youth is cowardly — and abandons conservative values

Pretty rich that Joseph Schow labeled Nenshi as serially dismissive of the women in the UCP caucus today.
Seriously, Joe: hypocrite much?
