In 2026 anyone who describes anything as “not political” can no longer be taken seriously.

Two things:
1. How is she capable of saying these things with a straight face?
2. Why is she allowed to say these things and not get utterly dragged by every news outlet?

The first is a startling personal capability. The second is a social failure. People who behave like this ought to be excluded for society, be ridiculed and humiliated endlessly.

A healthy economic strategy would prioritize wealth creation by starting a business over owning property.

I’ve never seen a starker demonstration of the difference between Canadians and Americans, other than our comparative reactions to the Tragically Hip.

Can we stop saying “far right”? When people espouse fascist principles, you can just call them fascists.

When 8 million people hit the streets to protest, it's like showing the tyrant a loaded gun without firing it.

It says, 'there are a lot of *other* things 8 million people can do, and you don't want to find out'.
