The Neoliberalism Shock Doctrine playbook: An external threat (Trump's threat to annex Canada) Causes a hero to be elected (Carney) Who institutes 1) privatization of public goods (airports etc) 2) corporate tax cuts (Mega-Deduction) and 3) removal of regulations (gutting climate policy)

I think as well that the American ethos of “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore” will not wear well in this situation against the Canadian national ethos of “You will not believe how long I will take this. I am going to tolerate this thing like no one you have ever seen before.”

If you've been lapsing in your commitment to buying Canadian, it's time to triple down. As much as 'no deal is better than a bad deal' is true, this is gonna hurt.

If your response to being annoyed at USA chants is “It’s not political, get over yourself”, I would just politely respond that you can fix your country and we can come back in 25-50 years to have this conversation, supposing humanity lasts that long.

I'm in the Star today with a piece on the Carney government's handling of relations with the United States. Last year, Canadians gave Mark Carney a mandate to disentangle our country from the empire to the south. By any reasonable standard, he's done the opposite. Link in first reply.

There are very few God-given rights we have as Canadians but one of them, for a good long 75 years, has been that anyone with an antenna or an internet connection should be able to watch hockey on Saturday night for free on our taxpayer-supported public broadcaster. This shit sucks

So bizarre to see Jalen Brunson (rightfully) achieve absolute lifelong legend status in New York, and realize 90% of hockey players don't seem to want that. Like, hockey stars actively flee from it. He's living their worst nightmare right now.

A Canadian making $70k a year will save $11 a month. This will reduce contributions to the plan by $3 billion. A year. I can't even fathom the thinking that went into this. Carney keeps doing these tax breaks that don't do shit for individuals but cost the government billions. It's pathological.

Catherine O’Hara Could Do Anything
And she pretty much did everything. The only tragedy is that it feels like she was just beginning to get the recognition her decades-long career always deserved.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
