Can the arts business model survive AI? Perhaps the best guide is to look at how the arts survived past tech revolutions Take music—internet piracy and then streaming killed the lucrative CD market, but musicians mostly saved their jobs by focusing much more on live concerts

Section 35 is about more than personal rights, it’s about title as well and relationship with the crown and land use. Basically all right derived from the relationship with the crown from contact forward, placed into the constitution and basically impossible to ever remove.

For indigenous groups in Canada giving up on section 35 rights or “transferring” them to the EU would be a non starter. My guess is they would ask for the Treaty of the European Union to be amended but that might not be enough.

So it would appear that the White House has banned the importation of Crown Royal, Canadian Club, and all other Canadian whiskeys/scotches. Stock up if they're one of your favorite brands, because the U.S. might not get any new supply for the next couple years...
