The original promo, in all its glory.

I’m by no means suggesting that the FDA cuts are good (they are, to be very clear, dumb and bad), but in theory, food is still being tested at the state level.

I can only hope that the Government of Canada is aware of the state programs, and whether they are suitably robust.

I think it’s a nuanced question - I’ve heard that the Cuban community in Florida is very Republican because they’re seen as stronger against the Cuban regime.

In other cases, I think people are very willing to vote for people who promise to help them with their most immediate problems (regardless of how credible those promises are), and overlook the rest.

And we should never underestimate the willingness of people to close a door behind them once they’ve gotten through it.

One thing he doesn’t touch on (much) is that a significant number of NDP supporters - probably “working class” supporters - seemed to flip to the Conservatives, and not the Liberals.

The party is going to have to reckon with that, too.

That’s up to the CPC.

Carney said a byelection should be held as quickly as possible to give Poilievre an opportunity to win a seat in the House of Commons, if that’s what the Conservative Party wants.

Carney’s message is that he’s not interested in playing Parliamentary games. I’m not convinced it’s a good idea, but it’s an interesting move.

It’s a weird situation. Like it or not, Polievre just achieved the highest Conservative vote share since the 1980s.

That he still lost is astonishing, and it’ll be a while before anyone can sort out the path forward.

But I suspect they’ll keep him around.

Yeah, they’ll probably just parachute him into an Alberta riding. We’re not rid of him yet.
