A fun thing to remember on Labour Day is that Mark Carney eliminated the Cabinet role Minister of Labour, a position that had existed for more than a century under governments of all stripes, and Canada is currently without a labour minister for the first time since 1909.

I can't believe Canadians are in favour of gutting rights and freedoms but as long as we look away and imagine some grand plan then everything seems okay. Vibes polling? For me Carney has to announce SWE Gripens and SK subs & arms if he's serious. No such magical imprinting left for Starmer

I don't think it'll be done with marches anymore. Widespread no-USA booze didn't require a formal protest. From 2018 CTV showed how misreporting protests outside their own window made them useless as people sought validation from the media not fellow protesters. Skipping MSM skips their control

begin at the beginning. There is momentum at the moment. The advantage now is that people are realizing many things around them aren't Canadian and aren't there for us. Even the #ElbowsUp movement isn't owned by Carney and has surpassed him. We're heading towards a "Canadian Spring"

Pedal through any Dutch city, and it feels like it’s always been filled with red cycle paths.
