Canada

For anyone who blinked and missed it, Marit Stiles and Bonnie Crombie both stated on Monday morning that they were in agreement with each other on cancelling the Starlink deal.

So Doug slaps on a ball cap, gets his face in the cameras and says he’d tear up the contract IF the tariffs go through. And rogers/bell/murdoch news said or implied in their headlines that he DID tear up the contract. Headline commentators yesterday seemed convinced it's something he’d already done. Or it was his idea alone.

Now he gets to be Canada’s defender - without him actually having to talk to or (god forbid) work with any of our other elected reps during this snap election he chose to call during an international crisis.

(To my fellow Ontarians: Ignore the neverending polls. Ignore the online commentary telling you the alternatives aren't doing enough in exactly the right way. Ignore the pages of discourse on how our Democracy just isn't good enough. Doug took electoral reform away from municipalities that voted for it. Please, show up and vote with your neighbours.)
