Lawyer in St. John's, NL. Interesting and sophisticated. Agreeable to be celebrated. He/Him.
Much as I enjoy Taylor Swift, and I do, there's something really enjoyable about just listening to CRJ and vibing without feeling the spectre of a massive industry machine looking over my shoulder.

Just a fundamental unwillingness to see what is happening in their country, and the reaction elsewhere as a result.

Most of this type of commentary feels like people watching a TV show. Why worry, the villain will be stopped by the end of the hour and they'll all go to the malt shoppe after.

Canada has a hybrid legislative requirement and Constitutional convention (i.e. an unwritten rule/policy arising from our Constitution) requiring regional/provincial representation on the Supreme Court of Canada.

A much better approach than "an Ivy League judge with favourable politics".

Smooth move, Poindexter (laudatory)!

Damage was done already, but this is more confirmation: America isn't like this because he is President; he is President because America is like this.

A plurality of Americans want this. We don't have a friend in America anymore, and flipping the House/Senate/White House ain't fixing that.

Totally agree. Meg's drumming was quite literally the soul of the White Stripes. Pretty sure Jack has said that many times over. I love Jack White, both his solo stuff, the Raconteurs, etc etc. But the White Stripes were special largely because of Meg's style.

He’d probably convince Trump to bomb Cambodia again.

I’ve been going through a similar journey myself. Though I remain of the view that such oaths are constitutional (saved by Section 1).

Now, whether they are necessary to become a lawyer, that’s another story.

I’d like to think I’m bona fide.
