Credit to the US for making the point the conference was trying to make about US foreign interference in European democracies for them, and bringing more attention to the conference and its themes than they could have possibly hoped for. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

3 All signs point to Canada withdrawing from the conference due to US pressure. Even in normal times, the US complains about a lot of stuff. What is the Carney government’s threshold for deciding when to appease Trump? After almost two years, and contra the speeches, it seems to be very low.

I was reading about the housing protests in Spain yesterday and thinking about how the left around the world is still stuck in national thinking: blaming this politician or that, when it’s the economic system that’s bringing the same shitty results everywhere it’s being tried.

One thing that Trumpism has made clear over and over again is that the global far right understands itself to be in a ideological alliance the helps itself across borders, and the center and left largely do not.

It’s disheartening that Canada’s future depends on the slow education of one man in the ways of the new world as he (hopefully) realizes that his prior assumptions no longer function, that he will recognize and “reconcile” the contradictions between his policy and the way things are.

Something I’ve wondered: Could we ever do progressive property taxes (akin to progressive income tax)? Have tax percent increase depending on the (inflation adjusted) price that you payed for the property.

How did the privatization of airports in Australia work out? How did the privatization of parking in Chicago work out? How did the privatization of rail in the UK work out? I could go on. In every way, privatization leads to profits for investors and worse, more expensive, service for the public.
