Alberta separatists are illogical and unwise - never underestimate the depths to which they have not thought about a particular issue. Unfortunately, this is equally true of the current provincial government as well.

I tried Mauril out, it’s a really cool concept. I just wish the difficulty curve was a bit softer. Felt like from the outset, I was being quizzed on things that I was unfamiliar with.

For sure, I’ve heard that argument, but I wonder - if I had wealth that I wanted to protect, and I thought a strong Conservative party was a means to that end, I’d want Poilievre gone yesterday. Still remains a mystery to me what CPC supporters see in him, in light of all the evidence in front of them.

I’m trying to understand the point you’re making.

LPC is advancing hard on all those files. Curious to know what you make of that.

when one is not evil (which rightwing politicians are almost by definition).

In the Canadian context, could you explain who you are talking about, and why you think they are evil?

I think the country runs best when there is a competent opposition. Having a dysfunctional official opposition is a bad thing for democracy, and not something anyone should wish for. Even if we disagree with the stance of the opposition, we should want them to be at minimum, logical, representative of the principles of the people who cast votes for them, and an effective check on the government.

And anyway, in Canada, federally, we do not have a single electable pro-trump politician. So, if there’s something to be thankful for, maybe it’s that.

Politically, Poilievre is an enigma. Somehow, in spite of everything, all the blunders, cringeworthy gaffes, miscalculations, party defectors, he was literally chased out of Ottawa. And yet, he’s managed to stay on top of his party rank. How on earth did he overwhelmingly pass leadership review? It’s a mystery to me.

What catastrophe would it take to actually chasten this man, and his party? I shudder to think.

Wonder if Motorola feels the same way.
