it's actually quite striking to me how much the illiberals are starting to argue, quite directly, "we want a fragmented chaos on our frontier, so we can dominate it more easily" feels like decadent roman empire frontier management tbh here's one about canada:

Now its Danielle Smith's turn. She looked positively giddy the whole time Carney spoke.

To be straightforward, I’m very worried about loss of sovereignty over currency and monetary policy.

I get the impression that what concerns us re our relationship w EU might be different. Giving up sovereignty to save our sovereignty seems bad to me. Greater mobility of capital and ppl sounds good, along with greater cooperation on tax. But our constitution kinda makes things “challenging”.

This made me chuckle. I’ve seen the craziness first hand

Good read! For some, this piece paints a potentially flattering picture. For others, it’s concerning. While I want to be optimistic, I’m a bit worried.

I dunno. 1) Guess it depends on what “associate member” means. 2) I personally would prefer to live in boring times.

The last time we saw something similar was under Harper and we’re literally still paying for it re tech infrastructure and payroll.

The piece paints a picture of someone shaped by corporate elite culture and Bay Street fantasies. It worries me that the elephant metaphor is terribly accurate and that the fixation on “efficiency” and long hours will backfire.

What a leaked Canada-EU summit document reveals about Mark Carney’s turn to Europe

Yeah, the comments from “some American officials” in this article make it clear the threats to Canadian sovereignty aren’t going away anytime soon, and that the US admin really doesn’t like Canada’s pivot twd Europe. www.thestar.com/politics/wha...

thestar.com

The document reveals that the EU chief and Canada’s prime minister plan to launch a “Canada-EU Alliance for the Future.”

This is foul. A reader reached out and told me the first google result when you search "kamloops unmarked graves discovery" is residential school denial. I did the search myself, and I found the same thing. The first non-sponsored result is the Fraser Institute's residential school denial.

Google search result for "kamloops unmarked graves discovery" has, as its first non-sponsored post, a publication from the Fraser Institute.

It reads: "No evidence of 'mass graves' or 'genocide' in residential ..."

"Feb 12, 2024 — ... Kamloops narrative are either false or highly exaggerated. No unmarked graves have been discovered at Kamloops or elsewhere-not one. As of ... Read more"

Another screenshot shows the only result before the Fraser Institute result is a sponsored post from Angus Reid, affirming that the Fraser Institute result is the first non-sponsored one.

Screenshot shows the intial response Google provides to the search "kamloops unmarked graves discovery"

All you can see on this first screenshot is the AI overview (barf) and the sponsored result from Angus Reid. However, as the other screenshots show, that Angus Reid result is followed by the first non-sponsored result: residential school denial from the Fraser Institute.

My point is simply that it's easy to oversimplify what sounds good on paper and not address the reality of the impact.

American exodus: why do so many US NHL stars want out of Canada?

Come on. It’s simple. MAGA players wanna go back to 🇺🇸. They don’t like Canadian fans criticizing them for pro Trump posts and comments made at the WH. www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/s...

Players across the league are leaving their teams up north to return home. It’s prompted questions around money, tax rates, geopolitics and respect

If it’s ok to vent, it’s infuriating that some ppl only learn when it affects them. They seem incapable of learning that the stove is hot w/o touching it. They can’t understand that the standard(s) they set for the most vulnerable is what they set for themselves.

We really need to rethink the usefulness of behavioural remedies and corporate representations, as they often prove unenforceable or too costly to enforce.

This is pretty shameful! If you cause generations worth of damage, and you have a moral obligation to make it right. This isn’t some abstract nonsense. There’s overwhelming evidence.

The National Post is using language that seems wildly irresponsible and dangerous here Citing ancient “Jewish law,” it labels Avi Lewis as a “rodef” The ultranationalist extremist who assassinated Yitzhak Rabin rationalized his killing on the same basis: www.theguardian.com/world/2020/o...

None of this applies, however, when a Jewish person presents a clear and present danger to the Jewish community. When that happens, Jewish thought is much more forceful: you must prevent the perpetrator from
causing harm.

Jewish law developed two character sketches to describe such scenarios. The first is known as a "mosar" — a Jewish person who informs to oppressive
authorities, potentially leading to the imprisonment, torture or death of community members. The second, called a "rodef," refers to a Jew who is actively pursuing another with the intent to harm or kill them. In both scenarios, the law is clear that a Jew is duty-bound to step in. Protecting the community and its members is the most important thing.

It was around then that Yigal Amir, an earnest law student, made up his mind to kill the prime minister. Later he would insist he was not swayed by extremist rabbis; he had reached his own decision that Rabin - through his willingness to cede territory and to allow the creation of a Palestinian Authority, with its own armed police force - was a rodef and therefore a legitimate target. He got a weapon easily enough. With his brother, Amir was working on the creation of an anti-Palestinian militia. Nor was access difficult; on at least three occasions before the rally, Amir attended public events where Rabin was present. He was waiting for the right moment: he didn't want to shoot and miss.

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

Sadly, the truth won’t actually pierce the right wing bubble. Fox et al will push their spin. It’s an alternate reality.

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

You see, according to the racsist dog whistle, “white ppl don’t commit welfare fraud because they’re not lazy”. The anger at the ad belies the race neutral rhetoric, and proves that Lee Atwater was right about how leverage and hide racist messaging.

I’d love to have a recurring coffee date with a tax economist and a tax lawyer. I love to bounce all my stupid questions off them and hopefully would learn a lot.

An essay about wealth tax and capital flight/mobility. There’s also a tiny nugget about increased tax enforcement and hints at alternative tax policies.
