In this week's Sunday Reader, how the 1932 election of Franklin D. Roosevelt over the tariff-loving incumbent president Herbert Hoover changed the course of U.S. and world history https://t.co/FfyPHoPsOA

@acoyne Also to @DavidAFrench. Even with this drubbing, the GOP still pulled in 43% of the vote, perhaps 64 million votes. Sure, some were for local or state reasons, but a lot of that vote count was in support of Trump. It's a problem that will persist after Trump is gone.

In this Sunday's edition, your diligent correspondent reflects on the short-circuited political life of David Peterson and the whys of a life uncelebrated. https://t.co/jCBYmL4TZn

@SportsnetSpec If you ask my wife, she will tell you it's the pushback from female fans horrified by the signing of Alex Formenton. She has refused to watch the Oilers ever since his signing was announced.

The recent referendum looks different if you're an immigrant working as a ballot counter. A story behind the story. https://t.co/HrakwZoeJ4

From the Saturday Globe and Mail:

[Andrew Coyne 🇺🇦🇮🇱🇬🇪🇲🇩 @acoyne]

So the news today is that both the Alberta separatists and the Quebec separatists have been holding (or seeking) meetings with the Trump administration — colluding with a foreign power in the service of its ambition to break up the country and absorb it piece by piece. For how long are we going to continue to treat this as a legitimate political “option”?

[Terry McConnell @TerryMac2]

@HawkEmDownChris Green Acres. Still remember the lyrics.

[Terry McConnell @TerryMac2]

@jengerson Hmm, Belarus, under Putin's thumb. So Trump would rather trade with Russia's ally than with one of his own. Telling.

[David Frum @davidfrum]

It's not hard to map the political center.

[Terry McConnell @TerryMac2]

@jengerson Yeah, I can get onside with that, too.
