🔴 There's an expression that Grandpa Steve loved to say, all the time. I thought of it today, for some reason: “The goose is cooked.” 😌

🔴 “Keep the fight alive.” 😂😂 🤦🏻♂️ When you have no security clearance. And therefore know NOTHING, about anything… And somebody hands you a microphone 🎤:
🧵 1/3 🔴 The political culture of outrage encourages a false choice: either you are furious or you do not care. But calm can be a form of resistance. Calm allows you to notice jurisdiction. Calm gives a correction time to arrive. Calm also makes political communication more persuasive.
🔴 Dear Canada, Can you imagine having somebody like THIS 👇🏼, in charge of our nation's public health? Thank you so much for not voting for Poilievre to be Prime Minister, in the last election. 🙏🏼
🧵 1/5 🔴 EXCERPT FROM FUN TOM'S "THE GREAT CANADIAN POLITICAL PLAYBOOK" 📖: “The country is broken. The system is rigged. Nothing works. Everyone is corrupt. Freedom has vanished. Canada is unrecognizable. The next election is our last chance. These claims are powerful because they are difficult

🧵 1/4 🔴 It's really simple. 1. You accept the realities 2. You develop a strategy, 3. You gather the right team and then you get to work 4. You ignore the noise, the naysayers, the constant critics, the obstructionists, the trolls. 5. You remain laser FOCUSED on the job at hand. Any other...
🔴 You can be a serious troll. OR you can be a serious candidate for Prime Minister of Canada. You cannot be both. He's now polling at an all-time LOW of 18%, and he still doesn't get it.
🧵 1/2 🔴 Dear friends on the far right 🍁, Why not try love and happiness? As you can see it's working well for our great former PM, Justin Trudeau. The man is glowing, and looking 10 years younger. That's what can happen...
🔴 I was on a date the other evening. It went well. We were set up by some mutual friends. She's someone that I've had been aware of, just through mutual circles. I knew who she was and she knew who I was, but we’d never spoken. Anyway, it was a simple date... open.substack.com/pub/funtomwr...

🧵1/2 🔴 There are two types of leaders. The RELEVANT and the irrelevant. While Mark Carney is out meeting with and listening to Canadians, in order to be a BETTER leader ... that other guy, Pierre, is in a basement somewhere, making...
🔴 Thank you, PM Carney, for aiding Canadian farmers. 👏🏼👏🏼 🍁 More than 200,000 Canadians go to work every day thanks to canola, and the trade arrangement with China is delivering stronger returns for Prairie producers, putting more money back on the farm and into our rural communities. #Leadership. ✅

➡️ This one 👇🏼, has gone ALL IN on being a rage-farming, basement bro. Full throttle MAGA. He clearly has abandoned the fantasy of ever being Prime Minister of Canada. He’s placing all his chips on a future in Alberta politics. Good luck! 😌
🔴 Supporting Canadian families and children remains one of the most meaningful investments in our country’s future. Thank you for continuing to prioritize their well-being. 🍁
🔴 No wonder our former PM, Justin Trudeau, is looking so happy, so young, and so filled with joy lately. Why wouldn't he, when he has such an inspiring, TOP QUALITY girlfriend? 👌🏼 Well done, both of you. Canada supports you! 🍁✅
🧵 1/2 🔴 A TALE OF TWO LEADERS... There are different and distinct approaches that leaders choose, to engage with everyday Canadians. For instance, a certain Liberal leader will play hockey with young Canadians, and invest in youth sports. While a certain Conservative leader will...
🔴 WOW... De Adder does it again. ✅ Brilliant cartoon that captures the present moment.
🔴 Donald Trump’s latest 50% tariff threats on Canada, are the mutterings of a madman. I've lost count of the number of times I've felt the need to say that, over various issues... This is a reckless, unhinged attack on our workers, our businesses, and our... open.substack.com/pub/funtomwr...

🧵1/2 🔴 America today, is a weird place. There was a time when an American President who makes an insane post boasting about the death of (just) 18 soldiers, would cause widespread protests and probably impeachment. Not these days. This madman is...
🧵 1/2 🔴 Prime Minister Carney knows that Canada's children are the future. Investing in kids is investing in a prosperous tomorrow. 🍁 That's why the PM has strengthened Canada’s Early Learning and Child Care program. ✅ Meanwhile, that other guy, Poilievre, has gleefully voted ...
🔴 As expected... Trump refused to get out of the frame when Spain did the traditional World Cup Trophy lift. FIFA's Gianni Infantino tried to steer him away him, so that the Spanish Champions could have their special moment. What a foul, embarrassing man. Not an honourable bone in his body. 😒🤦🏻♂️
🧵 1/3 🔴 I can't imagine anything worse than trying to enjoy a world cup final game, in the company of Donald Trump. 😑 What a hellish condition it must be for the last year and a half or so, for our Prime Minister Carney and Mexico's President, Claudia Sheinbaum, to have to try to deal...
🔴 Is it ethical (or even legal) to be undergoing a personal campaign to be Premier of Alberta when you are being paid to be the federal Leader of the Opposition and benefitting from the perks, including expenses covered by taxpayers? This one 👇🏼, Pierre, has all the ethos of Hydrogen sulfide.
🧵 1/2 🔴 Quality leadership is easy to recognize. So is toxic leadership. One inspires confidence, earns respect, and brings people together. The other thrives on division, chaos, and fear. Donald Trump is toxic to the core.
🔴 The Right Honourable Prime Minister, Mark Carney... A trailblazing leader and captain for all seasons, who champions Canada's skilled workers with passion and ease. That other guy, Pierre, is only at complete ease with far-right radicals. 😌
🔴 There are two types of leaders: 1. Those who whine, and whine, and live lavishly off taxpayers for 22 YEARS, and then whine some more... ⛔️ 2. Then there are those who win the faith of Canadians, buckle down to do the hard work, shut out the noise, and get BIG things done. ✅
