Sneering and contrarianism might make far-right hearts beat faster, but it's utterly useless in portraying Conservatives as a serious party that is prepared to govern. It simply reminds Canadians how closely aligned the CPC is with MAGA.

Meet the new Pierre Poilievre, just like the old Pierre Poilievre
In a speech that marked the start of Pierre Poilievre 2.0, the Conservative leader promised not to change.

Absolute scorcher from @maxfawcett.bsky.social. Highly recommend the read (and viewing of Carney's excellent speech).
After months of trying to play nice with Donald Trump and MAGA world, Mark Carney decided to drop the hammer of truth on his rogue administration, @maxfawcett.bsky.social writes. What comes next will help determine Canada's place in the world — and whether it even has one.
Mark Carney just shook up the world
His speech in Davos might be the most important one ever delivered by a Canadian prime minister. Its consequences will determine his place in history — and ours.

Danielle Smith's willingness to cater to Alberta separatists was always a dangerous game.
Now, in the wake of America's attack on Venezuela and its covetous advances on Greenland, she's effectively risking Canada's future in order to save her own. #cdnpoli

If bad engineering led to a plane falling out of the sky or a bridge collapsing or the electrocution of kids in a daycare, I'd call that out, too.

My first quick read Monday was negative. Further reading and some interviews convinced me I was wrong.
