We've arranged a society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science and technology.
And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces.

Per pool report, Trump is on the roof of the White House above the briefing room. Press has come outside to take pic and shout questions. This image from Bloombergβs Kate Sullivan seems ripe for meme-ing.
Bonnie Critchley faces tough odds in this election, but she's in there giving it her all and I wish her the best. 22/ #canpoli #BattleRiverCrowfoot #PierrePoilievreforUnelectedCitizen
Pierre Poilievre, the leader of a national political party with over 20 years of political experience, ought to be extremely accomplished and skilled. Instead, a rookie politician running a grassroots campaign is riding rings around him. 21/ #canpoli #BattleRiverCrowfoot
Pierre Poilievre has no vision, no plan, no executive ability, no political instincts. He's nothing but a self-serving troll who curries favour with the worst elements of Canadian society and slings mud at those who are trying to get something worthwhile done. 20/ #canpoli #BattleRiverCrowfoot
Poilievre has been called Canada's Donald Trump, but he's actually Canada's J.D. Vance. He lacks Trump's savant-like ability to market himself and build a cultish following. The more people get to know him, the less they like him. 19/ #canpoli #BattleRiverCrowfoot #PierrePoilieveforUnelectedCitizen
But no, Poilievre thought he deserved to be party leader and Prime Minister. So he stepped into the spotlight, and then people began to get to know him, to disastrous effect. 18/ #canpoli #BattleRiverCrowfoot #PierrePoilieveforUnelectedCitizen
Becoming a national figure has been a huge mistake on Pierre Poilievre's part. He could have warmed a Conservative seat for all of his working years and reaped big rewards for it despite accomplishing nothing for Canada. 17/ #canpoli #BattleRiverCrowfoot #PierrePoilieveforUnelectedCitizen
Another cheering possibility is that if Poilievre wins but performs significantly worse in this election than Damien Kurek did, it might convince the CPC that PP's a loser candidate and that they should dump him as party leader. 16/ #canpoli #BattleRiverCrowfoot #PierrePoilieveforUnelectedCitizen
Of course... if Bonnie Critchley should somehow manage to win this election, it would mean that Pierre Poilievre's political career has come to an utterly humiliating and definitive end, so.... GO BONNIE. 15/ #canpoli #BattleRiverCrowfoot #PierrePoilievreforUnelectedCitizen
