One of the theses of Harris' campaign: that for weak identifiers, American identity might overwhelm their partisan/ideological identity. One week until we see if it works!🤞🏼

Attacking vulnerable kids may make Smith's UCP base happy and help secure a large leadership vote, but when the weekend is over she needs to address the rest of the province. And her own conscience.

My latest for The Conversation Canada, on the crucial importance of losing in politics. theconversation.com/to-the-loser-g…

Elon Musk plans to spend election night with Donald Trump, giving the former president direct access to the person controlling X, a key information platform, on what could be a chaotic evening. nyti.ms/3Apvv1R

The anti-incumbent wave worldwide takes an illiberal turn in the US. Even with US imperfections, we haven’t lived in a post-WWII political order where the US has moved continually towards illiberalism. The ramifications of this turn will impact Canada at home & around the world.

My initial take on Trump's win: goodauthority.org/news/where-to-… His gains were widespread, so explanations should start with the broadest factors -- not with bespoke stories about states, cities, counties, and groups. The simplest explanation: party of unpopular incumbent loses. 1/2

While the US moves towards illiberalism, Harris urged Americans to uphold liberal democratic values. Her graceful concession is in that spirit and it's so important, and shouldn't be taken for granted.

If Trump follows through with this it kills comprehensive intelligence sharing between European NATO states and the US. Brits, French, Italians, Poles will all make sure to hold most sensitive information back.

This is a disaster for US security & alliances. Of all Trump's decisions so far, might be the worst. Tulsi Gabbard has consistently parroted pro-Putin propaganda. Director of National Intelligence is a critical position for which she has absolutely no experience and skill.

Trump and his American oligarchs are now openly aligning themselves with Putin and his Russian oligarchs. This Putin-Trump alliance means abandoning our allies, supporting authoritarianism and undermining our democratic traditions.

Trump isn't simply misinformed. He's a Russian asset. Treat him as such. The gravity of the betrayal currently unfolding against Ukraine by the U.S. is both predictable and staggering. Along with *waves hands at everything* I don't know how any country trusts the U.S. ever again

Vous ne pouvez pas prendre notre pays — et vous ne pouvez pas prendre notre sport.

You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game.

For those claiming Albertans would overwhelmingly vote in favour of becoming a 51st state, 90% say NO.

Today, millions of Canadians will go to the polls and proudly vote for parties that all categorically reject Trump’s vision of annexing Canada.

Heads high, Toronto.
