Danielle Smith is playing fast and loose with the future of the country. It seems like a long shot that Alberta would vote to leave, but who knows what happens once you start down this path. It’s a live-ammo outing now. Utter insanity.

and to be clear, this is good a complex society with mass affluence and freedom only glides down the tracks because of the grease of social trust without it, and without the legal-civic order that makes social trust reasonable, the whole thing will grind to a halt

I find “people don’t actually know how things work” has a lot of explanatory power. I don’t mean this in a holier-than-thou way. I’m only vaguely aware of how my microwave or the car radio work. A lot of modern life is assuming the functioning of complex tech and models.

Danielle Smith turns her back on Canada at the worst possible time
The Alberta Premier’s efforts to prepare for a trade war with the U.S. have been more self-serve than public service

Article seems to argue: 1. Liberal “rules-based order” was a hypocritical mask for US hegemony 2. Trump will scrap the pretense of respect for rules, which is good because… 3. it could allow US, China, global south et al to arrive at “fair, common standards” ??? www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

Opinion: The improvement Trump could make to U.S. foreign policy
Donald Trump's first term, with exits from the Iran nuclear deal and Paris climate agreement, hardly showed good global governance. But here's something he could get right.

As a government, a basically good agenda pursued timidly and ineptly if at all. As a man, arrogant, vindictive, pettily corrupt and mediocre to his core. His own time has actually been pretty kind to him, if only because Trump, the UK cons, and Poilievre are so much worse.
