Project 2025 author to give Carney’s cabinet a briefing on Trump Carney seems to think Trumpism is a coherent policy agenda that he can work with, not a naked exercise of US power. thestar.com/news/world/pro…

Duverger’s Law holds that first past the post, single member electoral systems tend to produce two party systems. Tomorrow’s federal election looks set to mark a return to the norm. #cdnpoli
