To be fair it was an open competition with many contenders and he won due to his experience producing ventilators. Right?

Some guy who had to bid fair and square for government contracts without the safety net of a full-time government bureaucrat's salary and benefits, apparently :)

I think that's the nice thing about Canada election finance rules, he really can't inject money into his campaign, and even if he's got a lot of rich friends they are limited as well.

It was funny seeing Kevin O'Leary try and get into the CPC leader convention and then have big debts that he had to fundraise to cover because he wasn't allowed to pay it himself.

When you look at the campaigns and realize that a 'warchest' in Canada is measured in tens of thousands of dollars, compared to tens of millions in the US, really levels the playing fields, and keeps some of the more obnoxious practices out of play. Harder to corrupt people at $1k a head.

What are the odds that at the same time both the Canadian PM and the POTUS are each thoroughly garbage to the extent they both should resign to save their party, but instead are hanging on for dear life. And both have some nefarious connection to China.

The radical left is falling like a house of cards across the globe. It's a wonderful sight.

Nothing wrong with retiring before age 55. There's a lot to be said for loafing. :)

Worse things than retirement,

Public instances of threats and intimidation of women in public life have intensified in recent weeks, with significant examples of abuse targeted toward politicians — most recently, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland — as well as activists and journalists.
