So, having given vent to my political id lately, why quit?
I have many contrary thoughts.
(I have no Indigenous blood, yet the concept of certain difficult people being valued as ‘Contraries’ has long resonated with me; I read of it ages ago in relation to a then-extant plains/southwest people; I feel one of them.)
Anyway, the contrary thought.
We know the #CBC has turned shit.
It’s been pumping out #Poilievre garbage without shame for weeks now.

<p>Host: "Let's State the obvious, Canada is not in Europe, would it even be possible for this country to join the EU?"</p>
<p>Frederic Menard (political scientist in Montreal): "In theory, yes, and let me get an obstacle out of the way: Oftentimes people will say ‘Canada is not in Europe and to be part of the European Union it says that you have to be a European country’ — which is true — except that being a European country is not defined anywhere."</p>
<p>So we can join because of a technicality? Excellent.</p>
