Powerful video. Take a few minutes from doom scrolling and watch
From @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social. "If you’re always consumed by the next outrage, you can’t look closely at the last one. The impression of Trump’s power remains; the fact that he keeps stepping on rakes is missed. The projection of strength obscures the reality of weakness. Don’t believe him."

On this day in 2005, the Civil Marriage Act was introduced to Parliament by the Liberal government.
When the Act received Royal Assent months later, it made Canada the fourth country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage.

If I were Canadian PM I would immediately:
1. Create a new $15B science fund
2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada
3. Immediate permanent residency
4. Citizenship after 2 years
Overnight a science superpower

This is everything you need to know about Poilievre.
He is their guy on the inside.
I will never ever vote on anything brought forward by this man.
He is fundamentally unfit for public office.
