Only because I forgot to include Biden, but yeah, I missed the all memes saying how good a businessman he was, too, if he came away from the presidency worth more than when he came in.

And yet, many who complained about one side doing this haven’t complained about the other side doing the same thing. Or some try whataboutism. And that goes for all sides.

“Captive market” is such a harsh term … The business he seems to be best at is enriching himself & his family/friends via public office. Not an optimal look for any political leader. But hey, maybe I missed the memes talking about how much more Clinton & Obama were worth after their...

If it's any comfort, I'm sure there's a lot of public servants at all levels of government across Canada that don't know everything about everything at their level of government - I know I was FAR from an expert when I worked for Club Fed, so you're not alone :) Far from an expert myself, but I...

I'll only quibble a bit with the characterization of Canada's support of Ukraine, which is pretty sizeable overall (although I know around these parts, the main attention is paid to the military bits of help) - more on that here...

A little something from the bought-and-paid-for, in-the-bag-for-Team-Red media ;) https://www.thestar.com/politics/political-opinion/mark-carney-is-quietly-giving-sweeping-new-powers-to-his-ministers/article_2881e6a0-d77f-4a8a-ae35-5ecbf0f35e00.html Also archived here. From the piece: More...

Too bad. I know a lot of people online and IRL who’d be happy to see her give it a go against Team Red. Except for those 2-3 of years where Team Blue was way ahead in all sorts of polling between when PP took over as Blue’s coach and JT GTFO’ed? ;)
