And perhaps with a splash of racism and viewing lives as expendable. Regardless, it is tragic that humans can treat each other this way. Damn the evidence-based decision making if it’s inconvenient and/or impedes profit.

"Alberta’s economy produces about $200,000 in gross domestic product for every employed worker, the highest in Canada. But the average worker gets only about $70,000 of that. So how federalism affects Alberta’s economic pie may be less important than how it affects each worker’s slice of that pie."

In one tweet Zelensky is completely undermining global solidarity for Ukraine. Holding up Israel as any kind of example when it's a perennial violator of the same international law Ukraine is invoking against Russian aggression is not only wrong, it's self-destructive.
