    Latest update from my TL: Democrats won in 2016 because enough voters were scared of the idea of Ted Cruz becoming the 45th President of the United States. That was the pure and simple of it. Nobody was especially inspired by any of the policies on offer, by either of the two parties. Working...

    Democrats won in 2016 because enough voters were scared of the idea of Ted Cruz becoming the 45th President of the United States. That was the pure and simple of it. Nobody was especially inspired by any of the policies on offer, by either of the two parties. Working class voters were told that...

    Threadmarks: Ready for Change - Appendix 4.G (2024 Democratic Party presidential primary & 2024 Republican Party presidential primary)

    You would think that after electing the first woman President to succeed the first African-American President, the Democrats would be prepared to take more risks and, say, have a healthy debate about the future of their party and the United States. Instead, you got a party that still neck-deep...

    Threadmarks: Ready for Change - Appendix 4.D (Peter Julian Shadow Cabinet - October 4th, 2023)

    Just like every other time something like this happens, the first question on the lips of many journalists and Ottawa-observers was how long it was going to take for the Liberals and New Democrats to finally, inevitably, put aside their petty differences and merge into a single political party...

    Threadmarks: Ready for Change - Appendix 4.C (Dominic Leblanc Shadow Cabinet - October 4th, 2023)

    Defeat is hard to catalogue; there was never a time when the Liberals thought they were beaten. Some might call that arrogance, since the party had already lost six-straight elections in a row. Others, usually party insiders, would chalk it up as proof of the Liberals eternal optimism. Like one...

    “This,” as Sir Wilfred Laurier said in 1905, “is a difficult country to govern.” Doug Ford was going to discover this in his attempt to fulfill the overwhelming mandate that voters had awarded him only weeks earlier. The very elements that make Canada so unique – it’s regional, cultural...

    Threadmarks: Ready for Change - Chapter Four (2023 federal election)

    (Inspired by the works of Klawe Rzeczy) At the heart of it, voters trusted Tom Mulcair and the New Democrats to govern because they occasionally acted like the Liberals. Canadians abhor radical reformers unless they wrap themselves in convention and the familiar. Take Stephen Harper for...

    Canada's constitution doesn't require first ministers' meetings. There's no provision or statute that says the Prime Minister and the Premiers have to get together and chat about things, presumably with a case of beer. We can at least hope there's a case of beer, since it would make the process...

    You’d think that they’d just won an election. Or at least that was the mood when Prime Minister Romeo Saganash walked into Rideau Hall to oversea the swearing-in of his fresh new cabinet by Governor General Jocelyn Paul. An election would likely happen sometime before the year was out. So, on...
