It is notable that Anne Carson is the fourth Nobel laureate whose work has included serious engagement with Thucydides, and the second in ten years: Albert Camus, Czesław Miłosz, Peter Handke. (More debatable in the cases of Winston Churchill and Bob Dylan).

Clearly, the UCP does not support Canada. Danielle Smith is running a separatist party. How many other UCP MLAs are voting to rip our country apart? Smith must be clear with Albertans on this. We've already done just that. Every NDP MLA has signed a pledge to oppose separatism.

The majority of the UCP are separatists. Danielle Smith runs a separatist party. Separatists helped her get elected, and she’s giving them what they want to try to save herself. A proud Canadian would fight for their country, not fight for separatists.

We did okay ish for a while could have been better but repuglicans constantly chipped away at Scientific research over the years Then you came in and 𝙊𝘽𝙇𝙄𝙏𝙀𝙍𝘼𝙏𝙀𝘿 the whole thing cancer research and a whole slew of other programs slashed Scientists quit and left for better offers in other countries

Top section (from “MAHA Action”):
“China is now eating our lunch.” RFK Jr. warns the U.S. is losing its edge to China in medical research and drug development. “They got more drugs approved last year.”

Below is a photo of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. speaking at what looks like a congressional hearing, seated at a table with a microphone, people in suits behind him.

Bottom reply (from Dr Terry Simpson):
“Yes you chased away a lot of scientists, you defunded many programs, and censored others. You are the problem”
