I called my senators today and told them I want Cory Booker to be the senate minority leader. We can’t hold hearings. We don’t have subpoena power. We can’t pass budgets. But we CAN filibuster, and we CAN change party leadership.

Bhattachatya also completed a PhD in economics at a program that allows master’s level credits to count toward core economics requirements (micro, macro, econometrics) for the PhD. It’s not even a PhD with the quantitative rigour required to conduct credible research in core economics.

That’s called free trade. We had it before Trump began this charade.

Cory Booker sets a record with marathon Senate speech. Mr. Booker took to the Senate floor on Monday evening, saying he would remain there as long as he was “physically able.” More than 24 hours later, the senator, a former football tight end, is still going. #MomSky apnews.com/article/cory...

Cory Booker sets a record with marathon Senate speech. Will it rally anti-Trump resistance?

New Jersey Democratic Sen. Cory Booker has held the Senate floor with a marathon speech that lasted all night and into the evening.

It was no error. The Trump administration openly flouted a court order.

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

It was just shared commiseration and an expansion on my thoughts. He apologized, unrelated to my comments, but it was a problematic apology.

Trudeau significantly moved the dial on formalization of coercive control and gender based violence in family law. On that, Canada can be proud. But losing that momentum is not acceptable.

Safety is sufficient grounds for cancellation of all school trips to the USA. As the US is now illegally detaining and incarcerating Canadian citizens without legal basis, it is foolhardy to send vulnerable children there under this administration.

I have…ahem…copious thoughts about Carney’s treatment of the Polytechnqiue massacre and its survivors. There is zero awareness of gender based violence there after a Trudeau government that was world-leading in its advancement of research and programming in femicide.

I understand what the argument is. It doesn’t work for the reasons I’ve outlined.

Stay true to your values. If you are living in alignment with your goals, power to you. If not, lovingly and gently evaluate where you can readjust to develop habits that support your goals. Either way, you are worthy of respect, compassion, and self-love. You are enough.

Thank you!!!! There wasn’t even the courtesy or forethought of a change management communications plan to explain how different identity groups would continue to see progress. It was deeply disappointing.

“Far more intelligent than you” Wow. That’s not acceptable in any civilized conversation. I can see this is not a good use of my time.

Correct, and Toyota and Honda are Japanese analogs to the Detroit 3 and are located in North America to supply the local auto market.

Strongly agreed — we already have national security screens for foreign ownership of critical resources. We might have to reevaluate what those criteria include.

010

RevivalCare 🇨🇦 @revivalcare.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

You are conflating resource ownership with processing and distribution facilities.

Reminder: All of the people deported to El Salvador and imprisoned were given that treatment illegally and against judicial order. Trump and MAGA are now disregarding court rulings. Rule of law is not optional. 🚨 Impeach. Him. Now. 🚨

For those whose faces fit Vitacore Canadian-made respirators well, so much the better!

Vitacore. They frequently have 440 mask boxes of 3M Auras on sale, and they’re an official 3M distributor.

For those polite enough to engage like they would with an actual person: Negotiating on an industry-by-industry basis is losing proposition for Canada. All discussions to preserve trade should be made on a portfolio basis with countermeasures to offset negotiating positions.

RevivalCare 🇨🇦 @revivalcare.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

That’s a rude way to ask. Try again if you’d like a productive engagement, please.

Formulating a plan to salvage the most easily substitutable part of the industry on a fixed capital basis by removing the industry’s existing protections would hasten the loss of free trade well in excess of doing nothing. This is worse than inaction.

RevivalCare 🇨🇦 @revivalcare.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

As to parts, the reason for fragmentation is twofold: because that creates an embedded incentive to maintain free trade, and because JIT manufacturing requires specialization. Consolidating that makes it easy to cut Canada out of parts. Everything you have suggested is entirely wrong.

RevivalCare 🇨🇦 @revivalcare.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

Also problematic with your argument is that Canadian finished vehicle manufacturers are Canadian subsidiaries of almost entirely US owned companies. If there was a market for Detroit 3 vehicles in Asia or Europe, the firms would already manufacture there, not sell Canadian made carbon copies.

RevivalCare 🇨🇦 @revivalcare.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

Automotive sales are constrained by population. The US is a North American centre of gravity because it is the population centre. Parts go into vehicles and are proprietary, so markets matter. Overseas markets don’t want garbage North American cars.

The allocation of funding between fed and prov is another policy decision that is movable, not static.

It also sells a higher share of products with price inelastic demand.

Absence of domestic capacity in strategic topics intersecting with discounted labour.

What you’re describing is backward looking. What I’m proposing is a deliberate policy change on a go-forward basis.

RevivalCare 🇨🇦 @revivalcare.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

Not mutually exclusive goals if there is policy and political will.

100

RevivalCare 🇨🇦 @revivalcare.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

Incorrect. Most vehicle content goes to the US. What you describe would hasten the onshoring of US manufacturing, not mitigate against it.

110

RevivalCare 🇨🇦 @revivalcare.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

Why? Because Canada recognizes its potential and is making a break from past policy decisions. The mistakes of the past don’t have to dictate the future.

010

RevivalCare 🇨🇦 @revivalcare.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

That’s a policy choice. It doesn’t have to be the default.

RevivalCare 🇨🇦 @revivalcare.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

Exactly. Now is the time to be bold.

Providing more sustainable funding to Canadian talent isn’t mutually exclusive to attracting global talent at a discount. We can walk and chew gum when we invest strategically in high value verticals.
