Retry sure the ego above all others in America cannot be matched. And yet, the analysis is thought food for all of us. The shadow is present again,as the ignoring of it. And if I may add, STOP DANIELLE SMITH! Alberta under her is so relevant to all of what’s been described and analysed. 🫪 🫶 🇨🇦

A deep and thoughtful analysis, as I have come to expect in these pages. The nub of the issue, as I understand it, is the ego’s need to win. This seems clear and I will apply this observation to politics in Canada and the USA. American politics is more us vs them, red team vs blue team, the quest for power and influence over others. Canadian politics does not seem to be as divided. I think Canadians belong less to a political “team” and tend more to consider the policy platform of all parties before casting a vote. This doesn’t negate the need to constrain our egos and seek goodness for all - as that, too, is goodness for each.

That was supposed to be “pretty sure!”
