Historic - 95 percent turnout.

There are none so blind as those that will not see. That said, with a useless congress that spends most of their time picking their nose in partisan debate (shutdown) what alternative is there but to use EO - who is left to judge. Oh yes, the President's EO's are clearly outside the Constitutional norms. What if the Right retains the House? What if they don't? I can't fk'n wait to see the blowback ..................... from the losers. They're ALL losers.

'not as politicised'? That's like being sorta pregnant?

Your comments are specific to a ruling; my argument is broadly general in precedent. SCOTUS intentionally couched their ruling in legalese. The ruling raises concerns about the potential (ya think??) for abuse of presidential power, as (any) future presidents may(??) be able to commit crimes under the guise of official duties without facing legal consequences. SCOTUS just built a loophole for abuse......... and it is called immunity. What goes around comes around. Political hacks will definitely use and exploit this ruling - a get out of jail card indeed. and supported in Law - gold plated! Hell hath no fury as a President scorned - Carney, take note! J6? What's that?

................. relax - Carney doesn't have the nuclear codes.

Trump v. US July 1st, 2024 Scotus ruled that presidents enjoy ABSOLUTE immunity from criminal prosecution for any actions taken within their OFFICIAL capacity as President. It was a partisan decision, 6-3 Seal Team 6 was informed and recently Carney was told by security that he should be concerned. This is a sweeping decision without doubt and of course will apply to all future administrations. No doubt it was part of the calculus deciding on the Maduro raid. It does make sense. ............ holding a President accountable post term for actions committed while President - absurd.

July 1st, 2024, SCOTUS ruled in Trump v. US that presidents enjoy ABSOLUTE immunity from criminal prosecution for actions taken within their OFFICIAL capacity as president. Of course the ruling was decided along partisan lines, 6-3 . Seal Team 6 was informed and standby for direction - Carney take note!

I don't take direction very well................ at all?

A sitting U.S. President has never been removed from office despite being impeached ......... the bar is waaaaaaaaaay too high. (Senate) I expect the Left to carry on where they left off during Trump's first Term. ............ the list for impeachment will be long and checked twice - akin to Xmas. Net effect in practical terms? Nil In political terms? 2028 will tell.

............. True ........... I'd revise that to 'anyone with absolutely no experience politically can become president." Look at Obama - minimal time as a Senator before grasping the brass ring. Ironic that Joe's 47 years as a political hack worked against the doofus running against Trump on encore ......... Nod to Clinton (Hildebeest)................... gender and pant suites worked against her - nod to her husband. Truman is my fav ............... hardware salesman(???) ............. course that was before substantive Primaries.

............haha ............. the problem is women leading men ............. they always try to act like men and men laugh at them. Stick to shooting dogs, lady.

Every State controls their own elections - independent of the Feds. This is a strategy for the Feds to interject in this protocol .............. with an eye to influencing '26. All evidence collected in the Fulton County FBI raid is tainted. .................... but the 'Rolls' are the gold.

.............. at the risk of sounding racist? Likely better politically if Pretti / Good were black. The shootings were a success in terms of projecting / displaying power - but clumsy! Getting control of voter rolls will be a crucial objective leading up to 2026 midterms. Noem has the potential to becoming a loose cannon - dumb beotch........ it's rumored she has a heart condition? ........... rumored to make a good sandwich.

......... the guy will never be PM ........ love him in opposition. The Base is the oxygen for becoming party leader.

I'd argue most Canadians know more about American culture than America per se. haha Canada is more a product of global British imperialism than Canadian history - France / GB determined the course of Canada. (Rupert's Land - HB Company - Seven Years War) Suppose you could say that France determined to a huge extent U.S. expansionism as well. The U.S. developed Nationalistic feelings long before Canadian Confederation - Manifest Destiny was NOT just a phrase - it was pursued ............ vigorously??? Ditto Monroe Doctrine.

........... gifted political hack ......... problem is he scares the kids.

On the contrary The President has 'real' power - and immunity to any actions that he determines necessary. There are none so blind as those that will not see. The '26 midterms are absolutely critical to maintain Trump's agenda. Strategy? No river too wide, no ocean too deep and no mountain too high. Imagine a Left, House Majority .............. heaven forbid a Left Senate majority. The executive is fighting for it's life and I don't mean the political. Heads will roll if the Left get a fighting majority, beginning with the House.

Leaked to generate controversy .......... all normal. That said any question re: Separation would begin with a referendum of some description. The Premier (Smith) often described as a Nazi has condemned the suggestion ..... that said, she realizes that the question generates a degree of leverage with the feds. This beotch loathes Quebec and how traditionally Quebec has always been treated with kid gloves by the feds (electoral power). Alberta is a wealth of resources and she is demanding more support from the feds to get product to market - either U.S. or Asia. There is no support for Separation in 'Wild Rose Country' ........ but that is moot for Smith j- the controversy works for her.

Hope is not a strategy. The surest strategy to ensure global stability is to make the juice not worth the squeeze. Ironic that the Cold War - Post WWII was instrumental in maintaining Global peace.

The (Canadian) supreme court justices are appointed based on provinces. Three justices MUST come from Quebec, three MUST come from Ontario, two MUST come from the WESTERN provinces and one from the Atlantic provinces. The Prime Minister selects from a short list. Political? Oh, yeah. Both SCOTUS and SCOC (?) are political ........politically biased. The difference is the U.S. flavor provides for transparency.

.......... this type of thing likely gives the Quebec separatists ideas - not to mention Trump. Divide and conquer ............ Nationalist feeling are running high in Quebec. An independent Quebec would control the St Lawrence. ........... course they'd be writing their own cultural suicide

............ rule the Courts, ya rule the land with legitimate power. "John Marshal has made his decision; now let him enforce it!" Andrew Jacksons response to the Supreme Court ruling over disputed indigenous land. Andrew went on to state, 'light a fire under them, they'll move'. The point is, SCOTUS has NO real power ..........

..................rumor is they're all Quebecois - arguably that would give them immunity to prosecution. Kind of a Louis Riel thing - heard that traitor has his own statue on Parly Hill.

.......... the intrigue re: SCOTUS ruling on Trump's tariffs is building. Ya think Does he have the chutzpah to ignore a ruling? If not I'm sure he has a Plan B If not, by ignoring the ruling the demise of the Constitution is greatly NOT exaggerated.

.........unlike SCOTUS most Canadians would be hard pressed to even name the Canadian Supreme Court bench.
