       Fellow Americans, if you suddenly have opinions about the Canadian political system, when you never have before, maybe it's a good idea to interrogate why that is, and where those opinions are coming from.

       @evan related, also ponder why you probably know more about UK politics than Canadian, and certainly know more about either of those than Mexican, even though Mexico and Canada are vastly more important to your day to day lived experience as an American than the UK.

       @mpjgregoire Sure. But if the first thing you ever learn about the Canadian political system is that Mark Carney is the prime minister even though he's never stood for election, you're starting in the wrong spot, and you might want to wonder why.

       @evan @mpjgregoire the King never stood for election, but we have an old deal where the crown let's us run the show most of the time in exchange for not killing them and their family. It's all explained in that scene in the Holy Grail.

       @johnefrancis @evan @mpjgregoire Strange women lying in ponds, distributing swords, are starting to look like an increasingly viable basis for a system of American government.

       @fcktheworld587 @johnefrancis @evan @mpjgregoire You’re fooling yourself. We’re living in a dictatorship — a self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes…
