Could his appalling mishandling of the East Palestine train derailment be curtains for Trans Pete, that is, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg? His mismanagement has become the occasion for a rare demonstration of dissension within the Biden administration, which usually marches, nay, goose-steps, in proudly authoritarian lockstep. But could this be fey Pete’s last dance?

Trudeau’s international reputation will never be the same
A major part of Justin Trudeau’s appeal to progressive voters in Canada is his international reputation as a liberal golden boy.
But Trudeau’s use of war-time measures to crack down a peaceful working class protest has shattered that image. It made him look weak, hypocritical, petty and mean.

Quebec Embraces Two-Tier Healthcare
Demonization and scapegoating of unvaccinated Canadians continues, and the credibility of Canada’s supposedly ‘universal’ socialist healthcare system crumbles even further.
It amazes me that the revolution will begin, and maybe has already begun, in places like Quebec, New York, and California. I should have realized that the first people to start feeling the pain personally would be the ones ruled by authoritarian socialists.
