we are about to lose our preferential trading status with the united states, because we tried to approach the negotiations as building a common front with mexico, who then stabbed us in the back, because they realized we were being fucking idiots about it.

any political leadership with the slightest bit of knowledge and experience would have realized that we should have gone into this trying to  isolate the mexicans.

and, why didn't we do it?

because trudeau didn't want to lose the votes of hispanics by appearing as though he was racist, which is an important voting block in california, but one that simply doesn't exist in canada. it's like 4%.

everything about this is utterly moronic. i screamed and yelled - look at my posts. but, there's little evidence that they have the slightest idea of what they've done wrong.

trudeau's individual lack of intelligence aside, what the fuck happened to the party?

and, if you're living in canada, it's hard to overstate the importance of this trading relationship. if trudeau goes down in history as the guy that ended free trade with the united states, that's going to create some pretty brutal biographies. that is an astronomical fuck up. and, from what i can see, it appears to mostly be his own fault.

that's one example.

i'm not writing this essay right now. but, there's a lot of examples. and, it's becoming clear enough that the more time you give him, the more examples he'll create.

i never thought he'd be making decisions - i never thought he'd be the decider. he was reading fucking cue cards at the debates. he seemed totally scripted. i would have voted for mulcair, if i knew the party was going to bail, or be purged, or whatever happened - and that isn't yet at all clear.

he's a complete idiot, he doesn't realize it and he's running the country into the ground by making stupid errors that shouldn't be being made by the holder of the office he holds.

if you want the deep, surreal analysis, the actual truth is the following: justin trudeau is canada's george w. bush.

actually, that doesn't appear to be the building i thought it was. google was a little presumptuous.

bad google.

i actually don't see any information about this building online anywhere at all, other than that it's recently been up for sale.

you know, i tried to get these people to call me back several times, and this is what they get for being stupid.

four sweaty indian guys in a one bedroom apartment.

bet the floor smells great.

& they wonder why disease spreads so quickly in india, right?

management is unlikely to allow this. what a headache, though.

hey, they had a good long term tenant interested but they picked this instead.

the thing is that i only have a finite amount of time - and a finite amount of space - to wait for people to grow up in.

i am a liberal on speech, this is true - it is possible to create harm with words, but the bar needs to be set extremely high.

and, it's frankly a little concerning to hear a liberal prime minister show such disdain for basic civil liberties.

i'm not exactly sure that trudeau should apologize for what he said. that bar is set higher than what he said, too. but, i think he should review the response by his security team.

i think this issue is a distraction, so i'm not going to get into it too much.

i actually agree that trudeau sounded like an idiot - but he has always sounded like an idiot. he has this kind of airheadedness to him that what you could call 'cultural liberals' (frequent liberal voters that don't know much about policy, but hold to a core of hat could be called libertarian values) see as a virtue - but almost everybody left of centre, from the liberal base to the anarchist fringe, has always found horribly cringey. this was as bad as any of the cringe we've heard from trudeau over the last ten years or so. but, i think we might, to an extent, be getting used to it.

they talked about low expectations during the last election. we may have internalized these expectations as startlingly low...to the point that this kind of thing doesn't phase us any more...to the point where he can sound like the tenth grade drama queen if he wants and people will just shrug it off.

but, i want to push back against this:

"I think Mr. Scheer should be careful of who he chooses as a champion for free speech. You don't want to choose the alt-right, you don't want to choose white supremacists and white nationalists and anti-immigration racists as your flag-bearer for free speech."

i'm going to take a chomskyian view on this - these are exactly the people you need to stand up for, because if they don't have free speech, then nobody else does, either.

and, on this point, you need to look at the action. there was no organizing, no marching, nothing of the sort - it was really legitimately a harmless question, and she was really legitimately roughed up for it.

it is the most unpopular speech that needs the most protection.

and, his father would have understood that.

i had 09/2015 just about updated before i fell asleep, and have now finished it, as of this morning.

again: minimal updates.

hopefully, i can keep this rate up.

barring an act of god, it seems like i'll be here until oct 1st.

08/2015 updated very quickly as well....
