  • I feel weird about it too. But in a weird way Doug Ford sometimes really does intend to do the right thing. When COVID hit, I will give him a millionth of a point that he actually did seem to want to be supportive, he was giving people who got laid off his phone number to call him anytime, and was quite emotional about it. It’s a shame he’s from such an unethical background and party, if he were ethical and wanted to be progressive, I think he actually could have impact. He’s not really a conservative, he’s just a brand for them. For some reason I hate him a tiny bit less than Mike Harris.





  • My coworker loves Trump loudly and obnoxiously. But she’s mad about the tariffs and votes for the NDP here, but says he’s “doing good things for his country”, but can’t identify what. She doesn’t know anything about weaponized disinformation, Russian troll farms, or dark money, and I very gently explained these things to her today, and saw this dim light turning on behind her eyes. So many people don’t know how badly they’ve been suckered by weaponized disinformation and dark money.









  • My (Canadian) coworker is a giant Trump lover. Weirdly she votes NDP here and hates all the conservatives at every level. I don’t bother fighting her because there’s no sense in trying, but I asked her politely during the first batch of his Canada nonsense what she thought of what he was doing regarding us, and she has the nerve to tell me she “didn’t want to talk politics, but he’s doing good things for his own country”. How? He’s doing nothing but alienating everyone, claiming it’s because of fentanyl at our borders. Less than 1 percent of the fentanyl that crossed the border came from us. They could literally end up in the dark, and Doug Ford the drug dealer says he’ll cut their power off with a smile on his face, and considering the wave of popularity being anti Trump gave him I don’t rule it out altogether.

    This is what a global far right power grab looks like, creating chaos everywhere.
