In the Trudeau era, we used to say it makes sense for the Liberals and NDP to merge; now it might make sense for the Conservatives and Liberals to form one large governing party.

They constantly attack Europe over and over again and as soon as Europe starts getting pissed they whip out this little nugget? Anyway I have no idea what this shit means. What noble legacy did Athens and Rome have that we need to embrace to ensure we don't decline? Is he aware both Athens and Rome did, in fact, decline?
My read is that basically they'd like the "US a leaders of the West" relationship to continue, only Western values should be "white nationalism" instead of "freedom and democracy", and Europe should be paying more money to the US (or more to the point, to the US oligarchs who have captured the politics of the US).
Their white supremacy has a foundational myth of "the West" that originates in Europe, and they'd really like to reshape current Europe to conform to that myth.
Yes, and I think it goes deeper than that. The fascination of the right with all things Greek and Roman and the notion that European nations are the direct cultural descendants of those ancient civilizations is deep rooted. One need only look as far as DG's post to see it.
Quote from: Grey Fox on Today at 03:34:25 PMI don't think the byelection will be competitive. Terrebonne is quite the BQ fortress and without the PP threat will the Liberal voters still feel mobilized?LCN does not have a lot of leg to criticize the Liberal right now. I'm sure they'll find something to rant all day long for the old people listening to QUB, but will it stick?
