About 100 pages into the Buckley bio and I am enjoying it almost as much as the Caro books on LBJ(another must read for any political nerd and let’s hope Caro gets the last volume done). His connection to the Honeymooners is funny. When not reading that I am plowing through the 5th S A Cosby book. Just discovered him this summer. Amazing writer.

That Bricker/Ibbitson lens on how shifting demographics and economic realigment are driving the current volatility is really sharp. I picked up Breaking Point last month and the polling data around regional fractures was pretty eyeopening, especially on how the suburban/urban divide maps differently in Canada than the US narratives usually frame it. The Carpay book also feels incredibly timley given how many peopel still dunno what happened with Charter protections during mandates.

It will take some time, but I suppose eventually you will be forgiven for not including Dead Wrong: How Canada Got the Residential School Story So Wrong
