Good thread. A test for any editor accepting any column or op-ed about the oil and gas industry should always be "Does this ignore the global oil price crash in 2014?" If they do, as Keller does, then it should be sent back.

Today's jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.

"In Canada, every provincial premier, of every political stripe, is guilty of adhering to the new climate denialism. It is now clear, however, that today, our country’s leading practitioner is Prime Minster Mark Carney." #CdnPoli
The essence of the idea is this: while conventional climate denialism simply refuses to accept the reality of human-induced climate change (think Donald Trump), this new form of denialism sees our political leaders assure us they understand and accept the scientific warnings about climate change — but they are in denial about what this scientific reality means for policy and/or continue to block progress in less visible ways. Others, perhaps more kindly, call this “all-the-above policy-making,” the inclination of political leaders to tell the public that we need not make hard choices. Whatever term one uses, the result is the continuing sorry state of Canadian political non-leadership on the defining challenge of our time.

How Doug Ford’s health plan costs taxpayers billions — and privatization is making it fail www.thestar.com/gift-redeem?...
“Private clinics will bring the province’s surgical backlog to normal levels,” Ford promised in 2023. Yet past experience says otherwise: Ontario funded nearly 1 million cataract surgeries between 2017 and 2022. A 2024 Canadian Medical Association Journal study found that when the province shifted funding to private, for-profit cataract facilities in 2020, operations for the wealthy surged 22 per cent, but fell 9 per cent for the lowest-income patients. Far from clearing the backlog, the shift to private facilities resulted in 93,000 fewer cataract surgeries than expected.

Linda Greenhouse
By Linda Greenhouse

Ms. Greenhouse, the recipient of a 1998 Pulitzer Prize, reported on the Supreme Court for The Times from 1978 to 2008.

Chief Justice John Roberts has accomplished so much of his agenda that it’s not easy, as he begins his 22nd Supreme Court term, to think of what unfinished business might remain.

Affirmative action is dead. Roe v. Wade is a fading memory. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is in shreds, rendered incapable of serving its original mission of preventing states from undermining the political power of minority citizens. The executive branch agencies known collectively as the administrative state have lost their independence, with the president now able to fire nearly all agency heads for any reason or no reason at all. Federal judges are no longer to defer to an agency’s interpretation of its own authority, instead being told to decide for themselves the validity of agency regulations. Historical claims that fly under the banner of “originalism” have frozen the government’s ability to regulate the ownership of lethal weapons.
