But I am pretty sure a Prime Minister Polieivre isn’t going to be in everybody’s face 24/7

I actually left off part of my original comment – the fix is attached
Your positions have shaken the pedestal I had you on, so I am a bit disappointed in what feels like a good degree of TDS. I also think I could find a degree of hypocrisy if I compare some of your previous writings to these positions. I try to assess a persons’ policies and positions rather than their personalities and I do have the feeling that finally, someone is standing up to say enough is enough and calling a spade a spade.
I have always valued opinion and will continue to appreciate it.

Thank you for your comment. I encourage criticism and am often my worst critic.
I quietly welcomed the shift away from the dangerous left-wing social agenda, moreso in Europe (although I am also a Canadian living in both Manila and Brussels). I held my nose with RFK Jr, but the recent attack in Trump’s speech at the DOJ was the breaking point. This man is too dangerous and democracy may not survive unless people stand up. Most people are too afraid to stand up.

I have rarely read a post that makes so many points that I disagree with! Maybe it is because I am a Canadian who spends winters in the U.S. and am actually experiencing what life is like in these two countries vs just reading opinions about it.
