In terms of blowing big leads and snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, is the Conservative Party of Canada the Toronto Maple Leafs of politics or are the Leafs the Conservatives of hockey?

So if I’ve got this right, the upcoming federal election will be contested between two candidates whose respective slogans are “Canada strong” and “Canada first”?

Trump’s tariffs are among the dumbest policy decisions he’s ever made, just straight up economic vandalism. He’ll either have to back down on the tariffs (which will require a pretext so he can declare victory) or usher in a bear market and rising inflation. Sad. #Trumpflation

James Carville has a great piece here www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/o..., pointing out that Donald Trump is great at getting elected but terrible at governing.

Trump's attack on Canada is not about fentanyl or the border. It is an attack on our nationhood.
But here's the thing: Trump is America's biggest disadvantage because he divides.
But he is unifying our nation like never before.
Canada #strongasfuck
