Today's news: Comments on the passing scene

Its been a crazy day, eh? 

Patrick Brown is out:

So arrogant he doesn't even show up to debate other #CPC hopefuls, this after likely eliminating Patrick Brown. @PierrePoilievre so confident he's got the #CPC Leadership, he is skipping the Calgary leadership debate, will attend party with Brett Wilson.https://t.co/SbrOV0jZMc

Patrick Brown is out of the running for the CPC leadership. The CPC wants PP. That's fine. The Liberals and NDP want to run against PP too. https://t.co/44Pbl3isLp

...this is probably good for the Tory Party in terms of general election posture in 3 years, because with Brown out of the race, it basically stops Poilievre from having to continue his tack right. 

It’s now not the case that he has anything resembling a threat to the leadership, and if he’s smart, he can tone back the negativity and the anger and start a more fulsome pivot to the centre, which will enable him to avoid any more quotes or moves in the leadership that end up fucking him in the General. 

Wise advice, which is why I wouldn't expect Poilievre to follow it -- he'll say something stupid again soon.

Ha. Didn't know Coyne was now a comedian. https://t.co/ao8DGuROfU

And here's the morning "media take":

"not since Erin O'Toole have we seen such a visionary leader." https://t.co/McwFG5gkxQ
