inkslinger: This makes me imagine an alternate history in which the US and Russia team up to squeeze Canada militarily. At least in the timeline we actually live in it'll only happen economically (for now?). http://edmontonjournal.com/news/politics/braid-is-donald-trump-a-threat-to-canadas-sovereignty/wcm/8605cf6b-a084-4faf-8940-022d15254836#cdnpoli #politics

inkslinger: Centrism is dead. That's probably a good thing, though. The final sentences of the article sum it up nicely: "It was a pleasant run while it lasted. But now it’s time for voters to truly decide what type of society we’d like to live in. At some point, everyone needs to choose a side."https://www.macleans.ca/opinion/centrism-is-dead-doug-fords-victory-in-ontario-just-proves-it/#cdnpoli #onpoli #politics #centrism
