I would hope this would be a coalition not a single choice. Putting all of democracy’s eggs in one basket seems too precarious given current circumstances.

France and Germany are both ready to step up to be the new voice of the western world. I will be glad when the US finally finishes falling down the “up” escalator so they can get out of the way of serious peace talk attempts.

I won’t feel safe enough to go back ever. Even if all the politicians get voted out or imprisoned the ICE and CBP agents who are kidnapping people will still be employed.

Sure. Just as long as responsibility isn’t allowed to be hung on just one person.

Normalize calling it “the Republican administration”. It’s not just one person it’s a fetid mass of enablers.

And let them be upset. What are they going to do: withdraw support and start an ill-advised trade war? That’s already happened. That’s what being “a friend” of the US gets you.

It’s true. My favorite tech podcast will (correctly) trumpet trans rights or BLM when it comes up in the news but haven’t said shit about Canada. They only bring up tariffs now in the context of their Switch 2 preorders getting delayed or their phones maybe getting more expensive.

So cancel that membership when it comes up for renewal, I guess.

My partner didn’t feel kicks until well intro pregnancy due to fetal position. It was very troubling (everything turned out okay.)

How odd to be cheering for China to stick to their guns.

All of the rural racism and none of the transit infrastructure or cherry blossoms. Let’s do this!

It’s so much better on the other side.

Conversations with friends are more meaningful. Nobody hears what I’ve been up to until they ask, and because I haven’t pre-announced my life over socials I’ve noticed they’re more interested and they pay more attention.

So probably gone by Friday. We’ve seen this dance and we know how it keeps playing out.

While not a true coalition moment, I think the NDP arm twisting JT into passing a dental care bill for supply and confidence is a good example of a minority party able to put their thumb on the scale.
