Ha ha, thanks, Scott. I see this book as bringing me full circle from my first opus: Canada's Undeclared War: Fighting Word from the Literary Trenches.

@KenMcGoogan "Master of narrative history fires inkwells at local demagoguery driving world nuts so he can have peace of mind to research next arctic masterpiece..."
That's my take. Looking forward to it on 24 Sept.

[Ken McGoogan @KenMcGoogan]

It seems likely . . .

[Robert Priest @rpriestpoet]

@KenMcGoogan will you do an audiobook?

[Ken McGoogan @KenMcGoogan]

@sqwabb @jackermann @CityNewsVAN @DMPublishers Not synonymous, no. Not history repeating but rhyming.

[Ken McGoogan @KenMcGoogan]

Gotta say: this is one of the best interviews anyone has ever done with me. Beautifully edited. Two minutes and 9 seconds here.

You, sir, are a man of insight and good judgment.

[Retired. Vive le Canada 🇨🇦 + 🇩🇪 🕊 🇺🇦 @TPS_32Planner]

I'm reading this amazing book that shows how Trump and others are following the playbooks of Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, and others. The same cultish behaviour to make people lose their ability to think clearly. @KenMcGoogan knocks it out of the park.

[Ken McGoogan @KenMcGoogan]

OMG!!! You have got to be kidding.

[Max Fawcett 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 @maxfawcett]

Imagine how conservatives would react if a journalist wrote a highly favourable/flattering biography of Justin Trudeau and then announced they were running for his party.

[Ken McGoogan @KenMcGoogan]

Think France in the 1940s. Make no mistake: I celebrate The Resistance . . . .

[The Walrus @thewalrus]

This year, Tucker Carlson—who has called for a US invasion of Canada—was given several standing ovations in Calgary, suggesting that “a significant minority of Canadians would be ready to collaborate with any American occupation,” writes @KenMcGoogan.

Ha ha! I especially love this bit: "Mr. Trump’s profound ignorance – a vast mental wasteland of incuriousness, guarded by stupidity – is, like his bottomless vulgarity, his unalloyed corruption, and his refusal to abide by any convention of civilized conduct, his superpower."

[Andrew Coyne 🇺🇦🇮🇱🇬🇪🇲🇩 @acoyne]

My latest, on J D Vance as the dreaded “smarter Trump”: Turns out that makes him less of a threat, not more. https://t.co/U13NSQGW7m

[Ken McGoogan @KenMcGoogan]

One of the best newspapers going!

[Ken McGoogan @KenMcGoogan]

100 per cent!

[Ken McGoogan @KenMcGoogan]

It's a metaphor for the sharks. The sharks are the worst. One vote for the orange lunatic and presto! the sharks are gone. Oh, and no more tiresome voting. Like the sharks. The sharks don't vote. And they're doing fine.

[Andrew Coyne 🇺🇦🇮🇱🇬🇪🇲🇩 @acoyne]

Relax, he probably just meant that he … well, you know, it could just be a metaphor for … for …

@TeamPortia @thewalrus I'll say goodbye to you, Junior.

[Ken McGoogan @KenMcGoogan]

@TeamPortia @thewalrus You pathetic twit. I've published 17 books. That's more than you have read. When will you be getting out of high school, dolt?

[Ken McGoogan @KenMcGoogan]

@TeamPortia @thewalrus Right back at you, dumbo.

[Ken McGoogan @KenMcGoogan]

Yup. It is going to happen.

[Stephen Maher @stphnmaher]

I believe she is likely to win

Big shoutout to The Walrus, Canada's answer to The Atlantic. Why? Why, for running this excerpt from Shadows of Tyranny!
