In the UK, I would never have dreamed of voting for the Conservatives, and if lived in Canada, I imagine I would support the NDP.

Nevertheless, this piece, written from what seems to be a Canadian Tory perspective, interested me.

My response stems not only from a fascination with Canadian history and identity/identities, but also from a recognition that social democrats like me should consider rather than dismiss out of hand certain Tory understandings of history and culture.

A little part of me died when I read about those who think that there was a "president of Canada" named Tim Horton.

I can't decide if the right wing of Labour are trying to destroy the party or whether they think their brand of right-leaning #centrism is popular.

I mean, clearly, they've blocked voters from voting for anything left wing. But is their ultimate goal to trash the party and bring never ending #Toryism, or to present a potential safe-to-the-establishment government?

Messy? 😅 The consequences of a lifetime of entitlement & impunity, #Toryism or as Jefferson said 'The government you elect is the government you deserve.' but of course he wasn't dealing with governments elected through fraud and lies.

Wah wah wah, stop criticising #Starmer!

Don't you know that soft #Toryism is the only way to rid the country of, um, Toryism!

Self-referrals to #NHS #mentalhealth service for health professionals hit 150 new patients/wk, rising to 184 at end of Dec

Compares to 150/yr when the service started in 09. Patients attending mainly suffering from anxiety & depression, #BylineTimes understands. Increasing numbers describe symptoms of guilt, hopelessness, & fear that they cannot deliver the care they should be due to the constraints on their time & exhaustion
