About a year and a half ago an artist reached out to me and said she did a painting based on one of Darren’s photos. She was a bit shy so she asked for my help to contact him. Darren loved it and they made arrangements to meet the week of his accident. Well that didn’t happen.

One notable country has eschewed the right-wing populist wave sweeping the globe. We discuss which one — and what we can learn from it — in part 2 of my conversation at @aspenideas w/ @cafreeland, @DavidAFrench & @FukuyamaFrancis:
Carney: This is a real referendum. It's not, you know, a question about a question, free option. It's a dangerous bluff. We're literally at 10 years anniversary of Brexit ... and you see what's happened in the United Kingdom. It's very reminiscent.
@MichaelCooperMP You are a disgrace to our community and to our country. What will it take before you realize that Canadians are tired of the lies and negativity you and your party seem to thrive on.
@MarcWest79@JeffHemlin@cspotweet Wrong. American booze distillers have been one of the groups pressuring Trump to back off tariffs as they have suffered heavy losses which you can bet has resulted in layoffs and cutbacks. Who started the game? Not Canada. Buy Canadian and stop being a MAGA shill.
@craig_paglini@TheHost_ You’re right, Craig. Put people out of work, cut wages, axe benefits. Profit for the shareholders and a bonus for the CEO is all that matters. And bow down to a tyrant to save the merger that will put more people out of work.
Can’t forget about Trump silencing his critics. Sad.
@OJoelsen Good afternoon, Orla. Merry Christmas to you and all Greenlanders! Canadians support your strong desire to remain independent from the despicable rantings of a wanna be dictator and convicted felon.
Stay strong and free!
@Shagarchist@g023dev @danield75442562 @John1MD So stealing from people, or taxes, for services and infrastructure for all to use, is a bad thing?
Better to pay ins comps or private clinics if you can afford it?
Look at the health outcomes and bankruptcies in the US. Tell me how that’s better.
@cspotweet Says the Premier who intends to introduce legislation requiring the provincial government's approval before international agreements signed by Ottawa become binding in Alberta. Such a team player!
@letsgetitbetter@PeterHRatcliffe Finally, who fans the anti Muslim, anti Semitism flames more than the media. Hate crimes are rising because the media continually identify the targets in a negative light. Muslims, Jews, immigrants, trans, even women. Look at the comments strong women advocates receive.
@letsgetitbetter@PeterHRatcliffe Yes, immigration was overdone but the RW foreign controlled media pushes this anti immigrant rhetoric. Immigrants have played a significant role in bolstering our economy yet they, like LBTGQ people, have been demonized in line with the Trumpian agenda to create fear and anger. 2
@letsgetitbetter@PeterHRatcliffe The Federal govt wasn’t solely to blame for the immigration issue. The biggest whiner in Canada, next to PP, Danielle Smith, was actively seeking increased immigration in March and April of last year as were other provinces to provide cheap labour for greedy corporations. 3
