Everyone who ever plays Northern Ontario playdowns talks about how low-key good Sandy MacEwan is. And now he’s going to the Brier and World #8 John Epping is not. Insanity
Here's a look at the developing field for the 2026 Montana's Brier following this weekend's action, highlighted by Team Sandy MacEwan upsetting world No. 8 @teamepping in the Northern Ontario final.
@Ashlee_Wheaton@carrieunderwood I was nervous to see how she’s hit the climax in this song. It was incredible!!! You can tell the songs are harder for her to sing as her voice has gotten a tad lower as she’s aged, but she still can nail those high climax notes!
@Big_Worker@clairesandberg@JasonMintz5 Agree, but that’s not what’s being portrayed online. Republicans are putting huge spotlight on our most extreme people and casting that on the entire Democratic Party. We need better messaging (and messengers) online to counter this.
@treeaston Actually, Bernie was winning over the exact coalition that just gave Trump the victory: The white working class. He actually spoke of the rot in DC and offered a positive hopeful vision with actual proposals to materially improve people’s lives.
@WeaponNR We know that, only legal immigrants can vote. We just didn’t think latinos would look at their brothers and sisters and say “yea, I’m ok if you all get deported in mass to an unsafe place that you came from. Fuck y’all”
@Ally_Sammarco No. Inflation is the reason the incumbent administration lost. It’s a pattern worldwide. It also historically makes sense. Low information voters just want change and vote the other way.
Here’s what I think will happen. Republicans are going to mistake this win as an endorsement of their extremist agenda, when it was actually about inflation and part of global anti-incumbency trends.
They will overreach, repulse the public, and Dems will win in 2026 and 2028.
@BMeiselas Many working class folks are not unionized. Inflation & economic suffering decided this election. Low information voters blame the current administration in power without realizing inflation was worldwide and Biden actually managed it the best out of any major country.
@cenkuygur I agree. But let’s not pretend republicans didn’t oppose every single proposal to help everyday folks along the way, and made it much harder to enact anything. This is the part I wish the working class knew and understood. They just voted for the party that blocks everything good
