that's why the democratic establishment made sure he became our senator

I think it's simpler than that: traditional Democratic national politics, which is performed from a defensive crouch. This Senator from California has to be seen hanging out in "the one province that isn't boycotting California wines", even as his message is that he doesn't like Trump's trade war.

Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, he walks into mine. A very odd choice indeed given all that's happening right now between Canada and US. Strange focus and misuse of resources.

The California wine industry claims it generates almost $85 Billion in 'economic activity' and is in a serious slump. Don't discount how much this is actually about wine🍇

other countries have politics?

I have a feeling that if Schiff lived somewhere else, he would be a Republican.

So he met a secessionist right before a secession vote

You can be damn sure he wanted to meet with Carney, especially ahead of 2028 campaigns…

This is why we're angry at Americans. It's not just Trump, it's not just Republicans, it's not just Congress…the entire place is full of ignorant enablers content to let this all continue.

And domestic: Ontario and Okanagan (BC) both produce lots of wine. We get the tax revenue and the jobs. So stupid. Instead, spend your time visiting Republican Senators and getting them to force the Big Dumb Boy to shut up and repeal the tariffs.

"Ah, sparkling entitled arrogance — the champagne of tone-deaf, blinkered nationalisms."
