Understanding the position Charlie Kirk played in the MAGA movement is critically important for understanding how we got here, where we go next, and it might even offer some clues about why he was killed. https://www.bugeyedandshameless.com/p/who-was-charlie-kirk-anyway

I've been iterating this theme a bit, while on my book tour. Here's a few highlights:
On the Sunday Magazine, I talked about the last Canadian election and Mark Carney's new "elbows down" approach. https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/audio/9.6878076

I tried my best to recap the second Trump administration thus far, and to put the threat to the world order — Canada in particular — into focus. https://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/mark-carney-was-once-concerned-about-trump-now-things-have-gotten-worse-than-anyone-could/article_7f523070-fd9b-4996-9d8d-3fa10435e754.html

Given the choice between a president who rages against his own supporters on his conspiracy-lousy walled-garden social media platform, all because they expected him to live up to his own internet-popularized conspiracy theory; and a guy who makes fun videos of him on the street, talking to real people about their real problems, I suspect people will opt for the latter.

The rapid erosion of the rule of law in Israel and America, and their common cause with the groups we once considered "extreme," suggests we're heading into dark new territory. https://www.bugeyedandshameless.com/p/welcome-to-post-extremism

If you don't know Curtis Yarvin's name, you should. If you do, there's good odds that you don't know the extent to which he's influencing Trump's regime. (If you do, I'm sorry.) https://www.bugeyedandshameless.com/p/the-neo-reactionary-regime

Jonathan Pedneault might be missing from Canada's election debates, but he's right here on my newsletter. And he had some pretty interesting thoughts to share on a world thrown into chaos by Trump. https://www.bugeyedandshameless.com/p/the-jonathan-pedneault-interview

Everybody is sleeping on the Green Party of Canada. But they're got some smart ideas, and a co-leader who is uniquely suited to this moment. https://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/while-everyone-focuses-on-carney-and-poilievre-some-of-the-elections-most-interesting-ideas-are/article_fd884129-2468-4c2f-8b3d-feb137acee1c.html

“I think for the Conservatives in the campaign cockpit, every buzzer and alarm is going off and the plane is going: Bzzt! Bzzt! And it's like ‘pull up! pull up!’ […] You are going to have controlled flight into terrain.”

As Kamala Harris' loss shows, liberal/progressive politics fail when they're purist, condescensing, and unambitious. These are lessons that Canada's leaders don't seem keen to learn. https://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/theres-one-lesson-the-trudeau-liberals-must-learn-from-trumps-victory/article_c1d33780-a067-11ef-b4e1-5b2b64df03ae.html

For the past few days, there's been a buzz around the allegation that Canadian journalist David Pugliese is a Russian asset.
The truth is more complicated. https://www.bugeyedandshameless.com/p/so-youve-become-a-russian-asset

Canada is now formally alleging that Indian intelligence is responsible for "serious criminal activity" — including murder.
New Delhi just announced that it's closing its high commission in Ottawa.

My interview with Trofimova got a lot more attention than anticipated, and sparked a ton of debate, so I've unlocked the post and made it fully free to read. https://www.bugeyedandshameless.com/p/russians-at-war-anastasia-trofimova-tiff

Unable to recapture its own territory, Russia is resorting to a massive air assault on Ukraine right now. Nearly 100 Shahed drones, Kalibr missiles from the Black Sea, and an unknown number of missiles fired from more than 20 bombers/fighters.
