I looked at 338, and the my riding's NDP support appears to be crashing. No liberal has done better than 3rd in a generation, it's always been conservative or NDP #1, conservative or NDP #2, then LPC, then whomever else. The LPC's polling above the NDP at the moment so I'm somewhat torn.

The only thing you need to know is: don't put metal in the science oven!

I can't think of much. Changing isn't unprecedented, but you're also far from alone driving on the left. Off the top of my head: the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, India, Pakistan, much of Southern Africa.....

Places that have changed within the last 100 years: Sweden, Newfoundland, the rest of Canada ('cept Ontario and Quebec) switched just over 100 years ago.

I'm honestly shocked that nobody's made one saying "Trudeau f🍁cked Mrs Trump" or somesuch.

I'm not JT's biggest fan, but he does consistently carry himself well. He could put on a happy smile in front of Trump ripping a loud, stinky one without even so much as a flinch.

I was referring to the allegations that the GG had CIA ties: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alleged_CIA_involvement_in_the_Whitlam_dismissal, though both Whitlam and Kerr deny it.

In general the way that played out is fine, and we've had related issues pop up here in Canada too.

Can't, sorry, I'm sure the Prime Minister would be removed again by your Governor-General if you tried :/

As mayor there isn't anything he can do about it. He might be able to persuade the town council to have fuck off taxes for the site of the billboard though.

As a private citizen there's lots more we can do, though. Somebody out there probably should.
