Course he's not. Poilievre doesn't have it in him to reflect on his own actions. No accountability, no insight. What he does exhibit on a regular basis is 5 habits associated with narcissistic personality disorder: grandiosity, entitlement, attention-seeking, manipulation, and lack of empathy.

About 7 weeks into waiting for an MRI with what looks like a loooong way to go. The Ottawa wait times for lower priority patients are 44 - 82% longer than the provincial average. I've been waiting for a nerve conduction study for a couple of months longer than that & no date for that either yet.

Ottawans, be sure to let your councillor know how you feel about Lansdowne 2.0 before it goes to Council vote next week. A recent survey suggests that many residents become opposed to the project as they learn more about it. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Trump is drastically underestimating the anger of the American people and his ability to shield himself from it. There will be a reckoning. Not just for him but for those who have colluded with him and done the most to enable him. You can count it.

I'm in love with Lily King's new book Heart the Lover (will be reading it as slowly as humanly possible to make it last) and am in love with this Goodreads comment on it too. Swoon. Thank you, Emma, for so eloquently capturing exactly how I feel!

A brief clip of Bryan Adams performing a French rendition of Here I Am (Me Voila) in Ottawa's Canadian Tire Centre last night. What a show!
