Projecting these types of numbers must be difficult. I just take issue with the fact this is presented as "new" when surely there's projections using more current info.

The trillionaire mark is just a milestone. Musk already had enough money to personally buy a whole company or single-handedly influence a presidential election. But we should consider what it means that one man has amassed so much wealth and power — and the speed at which he is doing so.

New from me at TVO, on the whole jet thing: www.tvo.org/article/anal...

One final point here for members of the PC caucus at Queen’s Park to consider: they are being asked this week to vote to make it easier for the premier to make decisions behind closed doors, and to lock those doors even more firmly. Government House Leader Steve Clark has presented a motion to whip the budget measures bill through the legislature without committee hearings, including the section that will eviscerate Ontario’s freedom of information laws. Many in this government find journalists and their insistence on factual answers annoying, fine. But the events of the last few days are a reminder that a culture of insularity and secrecy is bad for governments, and Tories might want to ask whether leaning into that dysfunction is really what they need right now.

Five years after the rollout of Covid-19 vaccines started, it seems the mystery of why the Astra-Zeneca and J&J vaccines led to a rare but deadly side effect of unusual blood clots and bleeding has finally been solved.   It's a fascinating case of molecular mimicry that may help make vaccine safer.🧪

Lesson 4: If you are peddling the "trust in govt" has dropped because of proceduralism, you either don't understand the study of trust or don't care. It has dropped in all countries and all institutions over the same time period. It is mostly driven by perception of politics not govt services.

Mr. Trump’s actions on deportation, tariffs and the use of military force in the Caribbean are almost certainly abuses of power. But they’re also a break from the public-sector incompetence that has helped erode faith in government to 22 percent, from almost 80 percent in the 1960s.

My argument isn’t that Democrats should ignore the law. Nor am I suggesting that we go back to the Moses era.
