Nailed it, AB. There's men and there's boys of all ages in this world. Trump, for all his excesses, a dude among men. Coyne's nonstop arm-chair events management was so nauseating I had to block (and hadn't even followed him in the first place). Suddenly, he was there before us: little Andy, the insufferable boy nobody could stand in the classroom, the know-it-all who just wouldn't shut up.

Exactly. And thanks, Jodi. Sometimes, it really is down to "those who can, do."

And that man in the arena took it like a champ.

The Coynes of the world can keep clutching their pearls from their Rosedale backyards.

Spot on Alex! The call by the WH's mumble bum for calm and unity is a perverted joke, given his recent diatribe aimed at MAGA fans and his statement that, "It's time to put Trump in a bullseye." Fascinating that MSNBC today decided not to run its leftist cult morning show. It would be interesting to know who made that decision and why it was made.

Appreciate that, Ted, and whoever it was, they may be the lone employee there with any good sense.

Also has been incredibly rich to note all those who rightfully lauded Kevin Vickers for sending Zehaf-Bibeau straight to Hell, now giving Pierre the gears for being thankful an active shooter was put down. These people are simply incapable of breaking character, even in a crisis.

You forgot to mention Karen Pinder from UBC. My bet she keeps her job. 😡

I believe there are others hoping Poilievre gets the same! Aka Julie Roedding

Twitter links don't work on my antiquated iPad. my bad!

I got really pissed off at my old man today in regards to the news of the day. He fought commies and fled in '56 and the reason I grew up staunchly anti communist. But after mom died he hooked up with a retired Toronto civil servant who gets 10000% of her "news" from CNN. I have not talked to her in over a year.

Covid was the last straw, she is the literal embodiment of everything that I detest about this world. and yes she is also vax injured and recent cancer survivor, last time we spoke 7 shots in.

sorry rant over.

No worries! Honesty and anecdotes are always welcome. I'm sorry to hear of this situation.

Right? How quickly they flipped from “stochastic terror” to “political violence.” More comms slop from comms shops. All to be used as leverage against the public, when it’s more likely this was an inside job.

Well said Alex!

I also caught the not-so-subtle-hint of your prognostication:

"the 45th and 47th President of the United States"

I believe you are correct.

Take Care,

Cheers

Kind of you, Peter!

I’m not exactly known for my subtlety, am I? 😂
