sabotabby: gritty with the text sometimes monstrous always antifascist (gritty)

Let's go with It Could Happen Here's "The Canadian Election: NOTHING EVER HAPPENS," which is Canadian-born Gare's attempt to explain what just happened to ICHH's primarily American audience. It's nothing you don't know if you either live here or read my blog, but it's actually a useful reminder that the international media (including independent media) is framing our election very differently than we are. I don't really disagree with any of Gare's analysis, beyond that sometimes they screw up the names of political parties.

But you know. I've been going through a stressful time lately, and I'm often waking up sad and frustrated by my own wasted potential. And then I remember that Poilievre lost his own seat and it makes me happy for a good five minutes.

I get what you mean about devolved powers but also at a certain point provinces do need to lean on municipalities blocking housing (TORONTO) and feds need to lean on the provinces. There are things they can do, which we are seeing but... I do wonder if it would have been politically viable to meddle earlier, before we were in a crisis...
