@philip_cardella So many to choose from! Capturing so much nobility, honorable behavior, intelligence — the things we have long said (mendaciously, of course) that we admire in our presidents.

@wdlindsy Exactly. BC election yesterday proves your point precisely. Conservative leader is a #ClimateChange denialist who only presented a costed platform 4 days before election. ‍️. So essentially only elected by slogan chanting.

@mediocratese This is so sad, because Canada has so much to offer — and very specifically as a saner and more humane alternative to the American path in various ways.
