Political junkie. Springsteen addict. Otherwise perfect. Not as annoying as the previous remarks might suggest.

@jkenney @TristinHopper There is a faint difference.
My friends mother in her 80's has it.
A reporter from the globe, I heard interviewed ages ago had a trace of it.

Scarborough Newfie so I think I can hear regional accents.

The campaign of cancelling Canadian historical figures doesn’t even pretend to apply a consistent standard.

For example, compare Wilfried Laurier to John Macdonald.

Laurier:

- Massively expanded the Indian Residential School System beyond its relatively modest start under the Macdonald government;

- Suppressed the 1907 Bryce Report, which detailed poor living conditions in Indian residential schools, and called for reforms;

- Increased the Chinese Head Tax tenfold from $50 under Macdonald, to a prohibitive $500. Also prepared the groundwork for the Liberal King government’s 1923 “Exclusion Act” which barred Chinese from immigrating;

- Adopted the Continuous Journey Policy, whose explicit goal was to bar the immigration of South Asians, and which led to the tragic Komagatu Maru incident. This was done *against* the advice of the Imperial government in London;

- In 1911 Laurier signed an order in council prohibiting “any immigrants belonging to the Negro race, which race is deemed unsuitable.”

- Seized Indian Treaty lands, and repeatedly violated treaties

By today’s standards, Laurier’s record was infinitely worse than Macdonald’s on these and other issues.

And yet no one has torn down Laurier statues, or removed his name from hundreds of roads, schools, and buildings. Parks Canada hasn’t turned Laurier’s house in Ottawa into a horror house of historic wrongs, as they did to Macdonald’s house in Kingston.

In fact, the Liberal Party, one of the catalysts of cancelling Canadian history, continues to honour Laurier by naming its major donor club after him.

You can’t make this up.

Why the double standards?

Is it because in the lunatic world of intersectionality, Laurier’s status as a French Canadian trumps Macdonald’s as a Scot? (Even though Laurier came from a well off family, and Macdonald was from a family of hardscrabble Highland Clearance Scots?)

Is it because Liberals have used their dominant role in “Official Canada” to define our history?

To be clear: I’m not calling for Laurier’s cancellation. Despite his flaws he was a great, consequential leader. So too was John Macdonald.

I’m calling for a reversal of this entire, arbitrary, demoralizing project of wrecking our history.

@Reil76 @Articwolfman2 Because western Canada would go crazy. Using their resources to protect eastern industry. After the alberta referendum things could change. Gas jumps a dollar just before midterms....

@kofialam @EricDLombardi He's right.
However, I think I'll renew, not sure if I had one because most liberals in ontario are focused federally, my membership so I can vote for you.@EricDLombardi

Marjorie Taylor Greene Didn’t Become a Hero. She Just Became More Dangerous.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is not having a “moment of clarity.”
She is not awakening.
She is not evolving.
She is not suddenly sane, sober, or safe.
She’s just temporarily mad at Trump.
And in the modern Republican Party, that’s all it takes to be recast by the media as a “reasonable conservative,” a phrase that now ranks just below “unicorn veterinarian” on the list of things that no longer exist.

Yes, MTG broke ranks with Trump over the Epstein files.
Yes, she dared to question his Argentina giveaway.
Yes, she suddenly discovered the words “toxic politics” after receiving threats, the same kind of threats she spent years stoking, cheering, and monetizing.
And now, because she called out the orange overlord once, half the country is stumbling around in shock like:

“Wait… is Marjorie Taylor Greene the sane one now?”
Let me help you:
Absolutely not.
This is the same woman who blamed forest fires on space lasers, who confused the Gestapo with gazpacho soup, who believes all Democrats are pedophiles, teachers are grooming children, and that Bill Gates wants us all eating synthetic meat grown in a “peach tree dish.”
This is not a leader.
This is a Facebook comment section wearing a blazer.
And the terrifying thing, the part no one wants to say out loud, is this:
Marjorie Taylor Greene isn’t distancing herself from Trump because she’s “changed.”
She’s distancing herself from Trump because she thinks she can replace him.

You can feel it in her language.
You can see it in the choreography.
You can hear it in that newly disciplined, PR-laundered tone her handlers are feeding her.

This is not repentance.
This is rebranding.

This is the birth of MTG 2.0:
“Reasonable,” “anti-corruption,” “America First but politely,” “I’m sorry for toxic politics,” “I’m calling for transparency.”
These are not apologies.
These are auditions.
Make no mistake: Marjorie Taylor Greene is running for something.
Maybe not tomorrow.
Maybe not in 2026.
But she’s building the scaffolding right now.
The martyrdom.
The victim narrative.
The “Trump betrayed me” storyline.
The “I stand up to the establishment” shtick.
The “I left the cult because I love America more” mythology.
She’s positioning herself as the heir to MAGA after Trump collapses under the weight of the Epstein files, the indictments, the lies, or his own cardiovascular system, whichever hits first.

MTG sees the throne wobbling.
She sees the king collapsing.
She sees the base fracturing.
And she wants the crown.
Only in America could a woman who once claimed straight people were going extinct, who posted a photo of herself with a gun next to “The Squad,” who believed a plane didn’t hit the Pentagon, and who called Pride flags “hate America flags” suddenly be floated as a “responsible Republican.”

Marjorie Taylor Greene is still a threat.
She’s still dangerous.
She’s still delusional.
She’s still one temper tantrum away from calling for a holy war over a school board meeting.
The only difference now?
She has ambition.
She has strategy.
She has a national platform.
And she has spent the last week test-driving a new identity:
The “reasonable” face of extremism.

A Trojan Horse with a CrossFit membership.
So don’t be fooled.
Don’t be seduced by the temporary distance from Trump.
Don’t let her rebrand herself as the rational cousin at the family reunion of fascists.
Because underneath the fresh coat of sanity-colored paint, Marjorie Taylor Greene is still what she always was:
A conspiracy theorist in heels.
A demagogue in waiting.
A danger looking for an opportunity.
And now, finally, she thinks she sees one.
