Will still pop onto here from time to time looking for specific information or tweets or for game day sports analysis, but the timeline is just too polluted to really hang around anymore. Not replacing my usage here with much yet but will return to tweet a link if I do. Cya!

Other countries should experiment with the model of putting a guy on the debate stage who doesn’t care and has nothing to lose. I think it’s great.

“Nobody could have predicted this.” is something I’ve heard from many Conservatives about this current political situation, but it’s not really true. Much of what’s transpired could have been predicted; 🧵

I genuinely don't think there is a better example of how Poilievre and his team didn't try to build a team that would attract a very wide coalition of voters than the story with De Jong To me it seems they thought "we don't need red Tories or older, experienced politicians". And while the "Charest voters" don't indeed represent that many people, they are currently making the difference. Obviously hindsight is 20/20. 3 months ago, the CPC indeed didn't need them. I do believe the CPC made many mistakes but I also can't really get over the fact the Tories are about to win over 40% of the vote and still lose. Nobody could have predicted this. Still, disqualifying De Jong was such a dumbass move

1) It was predictable that a hard-right CPC leader fixated on culture war talking points would drive many NDP voters to the ABC Liberals

This is getting panned but I actually think it’s kind of a clever ad and could really work … if they had an actual actor, or even just a more charismatic person, and not Andrew Scheer for some reason.

This is the kind of thing my mom would love. Pure Boomer appeal. Even the cultural references are based in the 70s/80s

Swimming in the LRSD…we did it! I’m thrilled to celebrate that on Tuesday, March 11th, the Board of Trustees voted to adopt our 2025-2026 Budget, which includes $100,000 for a pilot project to provide swimming & water safety classes for grade 3/4 students across the division.

The one thing that Canadians can be hopeful and positive about, is that though our opponents in this trade war are richer & far more powerful, they are also a bunch of absolutely stupid & incompetent clowns.

Swimming & Water Safety in the LRSD update; HUGE STEP FORWARD! The 2025-2026 draft school division budget presented to the public last night includes $100,000 for a “multi-year phased rollout” of a Swimming & Water Safety pilot program!

New Canadian youth are among the most vulnerable in our society to drowning, presenting barriers not just to safety, but to integration with their peers and broader Canadian society.

How Biden’s Foreign Policy Destroyed His Presidency

Biden's domestic agenda was the most progressive of any president since Lyndon Johnson. But it was entwined with a foreign policy that leaves his legacy drowned in blood.

Swimming lessons through school. Many have asked for details of what I’m proposing we bring to the LRSD. Who will get them? How much will it cost? I finally have some details to share. 🧵
