Well, superficially. But again, we're dealing with a riding that was a bellwether until relatively recently; and its falling out of bellwether status has to do with the generic recent-times collapse of the Libs in rural and blue-collar SW Ontario together with the more "local" matter of a...

He'd probably say to Hegseth: "You want it? It's yours." And then Hegseth and his gang would salivate at the opportunity to, uh, fulfil Biblical prophecy. But you know what the saddest toddler-in-chief story is? That he's being fed, for his comfort and amusement, blow'em'up-real-good war...

Not quite. It reelected the Libs' Roger Gallaway in '04; and when Gallaway was defeated in '06 it was seen as something of an upset. And up to that time it was seen as a Peterborough-style bellwether (and provincially, it elected the Libs in *1999*--but likewise somewhat contrarily fell to the...

But ultimately, what probably *really* triggered this latest case of TACO is that ***everybody***, short of partner-in-crime Netanyahu and the deepest End Times nutters, was preparing to bail on him. Maybe even his own sons. He was on the verge of being a cornered loser.

Re the justifiability of End Times, I noticed this here (emphasis mine) =============================== CNN host Pamela Brown asked Glesne about Trump's TruthSocial post threatening the civilians in Iran. Glesne explained that something like this is perfectly acceptable because the Earth is...

That really *is* the point here. Indeed, if "something happens" (and remember: for all the rhetoric about a whole civilization being wiped out, even a single nuke--which would be far more powerful than Hiroshima/Nagasaki--dropped upon Tehran would be "galvanizing"), the *only* ones I can see...

But also turn on each other in a way that'd make the breakup of Yugoslavia look mild.

But I'm not even talking about nation states; I'm talking about the citizenry. Because a nuclear attack would be a line not crossed since 1945. The reality is going to be unfathomable, in a "sh!t just got real" way--we're no longer talking about video-game or disaster-movie scenarios. There's...

A real question is that if Trump actually *resorts* to nukes, what are we going to think of--and how are we going to handle--anyone who still defends him *then*. Essentially, this could be a chain reaction en route to all sorts of anarchy and atrocity, domestic and international. And the...

If he's dumb enough to do a foul tweet for Easter, he's dumb enough for anything. And besides. Patriotic Americans are headed for Heaven, while all the "haters" will simply be vaporized. For all anyone knows, Stephen Miller's rigged the White House with a nuclear detonator, so he can blow...

Worth noting that the polls in the link start mid-campaign (Harper called the election extra early). But also that in those "most major polls", there were few in which there was more than a 10-point spread btw/the three major parties. That is, while the NDP led in support in a lot of those...

At this point, he might as well be offering a "Come and get me!!!" message.

Trouble is, Trump's natural instinct remains "no means harder". And his best, most efficient, most music-to-the-ears tool to combat the chorus of "no" happens to be...Hegseth's bloodthirsty video-game Holy War gesturing. Whose ultimate end game is, literally, apocalyptic--but hey, as long as...

Mulcair *did*, technically; but somewhat by default as the long tail of the Orange Crush, which was really more a case of political stunting than anything. And one might argue that said "one of its best election results ever" was but a snapshot moment in free-fall from giddy heights, fueled...

And he also thought he'd nuke the left when it cut Council in half in '18--instead, the left held its own and even reinforced itself (the Mammo vs Perruzza race being a key example)
