Carney: The new world order will be built from Europe. Canada is the most European of non-European countries, and we are transforming our cooperation with the EU ... In a more dangerous and divided world, Canada has chosen to build and work in partnership with Europe.

This looks important. 👇 The summary thread makes a couple of interesting point. One of the key points, in my opinion, is the focus on old social media users — rather than the obsessive focus on youth.

Must-read from my colleague @scharfbillig.bsky.social with @lewan.bsky.social et al. Democracy depends on a certain degree of shared reality. The attention economy delivers ever more bespoke realities. The report sets out why and proposes how to deliver a pro-democracy information space.

1) This public attitudes to science report contains troubling (but familiar) insights about public relationships with science. It reinforces what I and others have been saying about a deteriorating relationship between science and society marked by conflict, ambivalence & uncertainty. pas.ipsos.com
