I think he's resigning mainly to save face because he knows that the Liberal Party is pretty much screwed and there's a very good chance that the Conservative Party is going to take over. If that's the case, then maybe Trump won't have to invade Canada because the new government might as well just hand it over to him to annex. Hell, maybe they'll become allies and form a super state to invade Mexico, Greenland and Panama. /s

I mean, we're pretty much screwed no matter what we do. There is no point in resisting because the military will destroy us if we even try to protest. Bring on World War Three. Hell, there's a good chance nothing will remain in four years, not even us.

It was time for Trudeau to go but unfortunately, we're going to a get a Prime Minister, in Pierre Poilievre, who is "friendly" with the far-right, and he's going to get a majority government (according to the polls).  The government has been prorogued until March 24th.  Once the government is back, a no-confidence vote will be held which will officially topple the Trudeau government and kick off a new election.  The election will probably happen in the spring.

Trudeau has been the face of attacks for so long now, and the politics that he preached (inclusion, diversity) are now a pariah. I'm surprised he has lasted this long.

It's more interesting to me to see how the far right are trying to cope with Trump and his fascist clown car. Doug Ford was very openly aggressive against Trump's threats, whereas in the UK, Nigel Farage is cowering in fear, Ted Cruz style, of Elon Musk.

Doug Ford has been saying a lot of right things when it comes to standing up against Trump.  I'm not a Ford fan, but if I had to choose a Conservative Leader, I'd choose Ford over Poilievre. 

I believe so.  Think of it like Congress sitting empty for 3 months.  That's what's happening to the Parliament.

North Carolina is getting more and more dangerous and is becoming a clearer and clearer corrupt state where the hateful state GOP do anything they can for power.

    • The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)
    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits. 
    • It pisses me off that the other Duprees are making this incident all about them as well. They are playing a family of victims, acting as if Ted cheated on all of them. They should be supportive, but not like this. I have a family that makes anything that happens to me personally all about them, and seeing the same thing on TV is rage-inducing.
