MAID by snu snu might prove to be very popular.

Clearly you didnt check out ye old National Post. https://nationalpost.com/opinion/mic...thout-benefits

The first sentence

All of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s big talk about standing up to Donald Trump was exposed Tuesday as a bombastic sham.

But when the president talked about shutting down the Canadian car industry and refusing to buy our steel and aluminum, the prime minister was silent. No push back. No standing up for Canadian interests.

Ah yes, the true clear vision of Donald Trump is definitely a thing, what a dork

Carney rode to office on the back of a nightmare, whereas at least Trump gained the White House with a vision about where he wanted to take his country.

What a ridiculous take by them. Do they assume that the press conference was the only discussion that was had? That Carney didn't bring up those points in private?

The writer has been squirting out a steady stream of far right clickbait hit pieces on Carney. His opinion seems to be that everything he does is wrong, even if Carney is just in the vicinity when someone else (like Trump) does it.

Vandalizing the election process, making it hard for voters to vote and vote counters to count.

Perhaps a better word to describe it but thats what came to mind.

It doesn't accomplish anything beneficial to anyone

I'm really not that fussed. But it doesn't matter if I like it.

We need more joke candidates, not less. Give me Lord Buckethead or give me death.

I’m sure they would manage. Worse case scenario it would take a little longer(like hours maybe) to get the results. I’m sure that our democracy will survive.

I think labelling this as vandalism(sabotage probably would have been a better word but in any event) is over the top sensationalism given how inconsequential it is to the end result.

There’s plenty of other far more pressing things on the list of stuff that needs to be addressed in this country. No sense distracting from those problems by focusing on a nothing burger issue like too many candidates are running in an election. Just my thoughts.

It is an alphabetical ballot, not that hard to find your candidate of choice, maybe another 10 secs

Counting, yeah I’ll concede that, but they aren’t doing anything illegal.

Ya, the list of his headlines starts to look like Carney has taken up residence in his cranium.

Michael Higgins: Carney has brought Project Fear to Canada
Michael Higgins: Button scandal but the latest example of Carney's failing moral compass
Michael Higgins: Carney's new Project Fear is to scare Canadians into voting for him
Michael Higgins: Carney is taking a page out of Machiavelli's playbook
Michael Higgins: Does Mark Carney also admire China's 'basic dictatorship'?
Michael Higgins: Mark Carney has no idea how to respond to Donald Trump
Michael Higgins: Carney gives comfort to Hamas terrorists
Michael Higgins: Mark Carney and the truth don't get along
Michael Higgins: Mark Carney follows Trudeau's anti-Israel lead
Michael Higgins: Emperor Carney acting like he's already in charge

I get that this is your job an all, but can you write about anything other than Carney or the Pope?

Oh, is that what you're worrying over? You don't even know if it's going to happen in one riding in a byelection.

You might as well stress about the heat death of the universe.
