But we're all friends and we're together; we could talk about anything. Surely we can find something more fun, entertaining, and less depressing to talk about than f--king politics?

We hosted a BBQ last weekend and told the people we invited that political talk would be unwelcome. With people having strong opinions and living in different media realities, it’s pretty much impossible to have a useful discussion across political-cultural lines these days.
It was fine. Lots of things friends can talk about besides Trudeau, Kenney, Biden, and vaccination.
