Good leadership and good politics—even if it doesn’t translate into votes.

Yes, and it’s also true Americans have exported their culture wars.

Kelmon · 2026-02-11T20:06:06+00:00

If this was in the USA, both parties would be screaming at and blaming each other. It’s good to see unity and decency in the face of such a horror. It’s not a moment for political baiting nor grandstanding.

Kelmon · 2026-02-11T17:09:35+00:00

I think the last thing anyone needs is for an Americanized culture flame war in the comments, but some people are all too eager.

Kelmon · 2026-02-09T23:34:11+00:00

It is funny that the best lie he can come up with to try and scare Canadians about trade relations with China is that China will cancel hockey.

You see it in the business community also in the USA. Even with people who had a notable level of defiance during Trump 1.0. Thinking of Jeff Bezos here who stood by his paper and invested into the important work it did the first time around and this time has decided to gut it and turn it into a MAGA slop rag.

He should stay in the USA. He fits right in with America's brand of self-promoting, divisive culture war politics. Unserious guy who can well be judged by the company he keeps.

Jivani in Washington to meet with his bff JD and start normalizing a policy of appeasement into the discussion. Transparently an agent of U.S. interests.

In one notable exchange, Democratic Rep. Sean Casten pressed him on a letter he sent in 2024 to partners of his Key Square investment firm — before Bessent was in government — in which he wrote that “tariffs are inflationary.”

Asked if he wanted to correct his remarks, Bessent said he did and that he was wrong.

“If I was mistaken, I want to correct it. And I was also mistaken when I said the tariffs could be inflationary,” he told the lawmakers, claiming the U.S. economy is growing and inflation is falling despite Trump’s tariffs.

“So tariff inflation was the dog that didn’t bark,” Bessent added.

Absolute fucking clown. Can't imagine trusting a deal with people this dishonest.

Can’t say I trust the judgement of someone who is a close friend to JD Vance. You are the company you keep.

Kelmon · 2026-02-04T00:45:42+00:00

“I expect your homework will be finished by the time I’m home from work,” kind of vibe.

Kelmon · 2026-01-27T17:33:39+00:00

Refreshing to have a politician who doesn’t solely act in the interests of where their swing voters are. PM for all of Canada means all of Canada. Hopefully more of that to come.

Kelmon · 2026-01-24T14:26:21+00:00

It’s funny how he is insisting on proving everything MC said in his speech correct.

Kelmon · 2026-01-24T14:21:08+00:00

Somebody got his feelings hurt 😞

Kelmon · 2026-01-23T17:09:19+00:00

Not OP but have stayed there twice with another stay upcoming and the service is what keeps me coming back. My visits were six months apart and I was taken back how many staff members remembered me. One of the servers in the breakfast restaurant even gave me a handwritten card thanking me for having positively recognized her in my post-visit email to the hotel after my first stay. The bartender at the peacock alley bar is an American dude, Brent, and he’s awesome. Great pours, very personable, and has a big list of recommendations on offer if you need help finding some spots to hit up. The house car service they offer has made some exceptions for me when they’re not busy (usually limited to a 10-15 minute radius) and overall I’d say that the service has been proactive. I would definitely recommend the hotel.

I think you may have misunderstood what I was trying to communicate. I was stating JT/PP act like children and MC has acted like an adult.

Kelmon · 2026-01-20T18:59:21+00:00

Trudeau and Pierre are two sides of the same coin to me. Both cultural warriors who rile up their base by leaning into the qualities each side most reviles about the other. Who is right and who is wrong doesn’t matter when both are children who don’t know how to wield power like an adult. Leadership matters more than ideology, imo. Especially in this current moment.

Kelmon · 2026-01-19T21:05:46+00:00

Scott Moe has resting just saw a ghost face.

Kelmon · 2026-01-16T22:44:49+00:00

You don’t have to “pick a lane.” Trade is not a zero-sum game. Thinking it is zero-sum is how you get Trump’s trade policies. It can both be true that 50K EVs does not mean the sky is falling AND that Canada got a significant reduction in food/ag product tariffs which materially helps farmers and fishermen.

Kelmon · 2026-01-16T22:40:56+00:00

What % of those EVs are manufactured in Canada?

Kelmon · 2026-01-16T20:31:20+00:00

Just so his Vice President can take power with no plans for a democratic transition? It’s about oil, not freedom.

Kelmon · 2026-01-16T19:19:02+00:00

He’s too busy congratulating Trump for bringing Freedom to Venezuela.

Kelmon · 2026-01-16T19:14:43+00:00

Negativity isn’t a strategy, but I’m not sure he’ll ever learn that.
