We've now got the first interviews of Indigenous and Traditional peoples who are participating in the roll-out of the worlds first Green Basic Income project. Thanks so much to Beatriz Leandro and the Universidade Campinas Brazil for partnering with #Ontariotech to make this happen!

I think much of the issue is that most "developed" countries actually have a glut of PhDs. They have more than enough of their own scientists.

Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction
Haley Britzky @halbritz

AFRICOM commander Gen. Langley tells senators that China is "trying to replicate" USAID programs in Africa as the US scales back USAID.

"They're trying to use that as an extension of the Belt and Road Initiative to gain favor by the African countries," Langley said.

I had an excellent call with President von der Leyen about the road ahead for Canada-E.U. trade. Canada and Europe are strong, reliable partners. In a shifting global economy, that matters more than ever. We’re ready to secure new transatlantic business opportunities together.

A reminder: Biden-Harris were making huge investments in infrastructure and productivity which were successfully bringing manufacturing back the US. And Trump froze most of these programs only to apply tariffs. He didn't want billionaires to pay taxes to support the economy.

Timothy MacNeill 🇨🇦 @timothymacneill.bsky.social · 06/03/2025
Though I see that the blue states tend to subsidize red states with transfers, so there is logic in just a broadly applied counter-tariff would have more overall impact and, hopefully get him to back down faster. Although, honestly, he backs down incredibly easy already and our leaders know it.

It really seems you are just in the business of jumping on threads to try and promote your un-nuanced totalizing ideology.

Timothy MacNeill 🇨🇦 @timothymacneill.bsky.social · 06/03/2025
Further, why are you even here? The thread is from me asking ppl more familiar with US political/legal arrangements if it is better for Canada to support blue states while tariffing red ones. You came with economic lectures, and you are really not qualified to lecture me on the economy

Timothy MacNeill 🇨🇦 @timothymacneill.bsky.social · 06/03/2025
It is very established in evidence that there are two sources of coercive power: public and private. You did literally speak of private interests co-opting the US government. Claiming government is always good or bad would be a blanket ideological statement. That is what you did.

Timothy MacNeill 🇨🇦 @timothymacneill.bsky.social · 06/03/2025
But zero truth-enforcement works even worse. But maybe it shouldn't be the content that is policed, but the power. Root out fake/bot accounts and eliminate the for-profit pay-to-be-seen model. Social media should be public not-for-profit media since rational discourse is a vital public good.
030
Timothy MacNeill 🇨🇦 @timothymacneill.bsky.social · 06/03/2025
That is just a blanket ideological statement. Not rooted in evidence. As we've discussed. Without government, you have bare rule of economic elites and that's all. In fact, what you are describing is a weak government that is coopted by markets. All governments aren't as weak as yours thank God.

Timothy MacNeill 🇨🇦 @timothymacneill.bsky.social · 05/03/2025
What are your enormous insurance companies for then? It's private. You are really stretching the argument to the absurd here. Even so, it does not support your argument that governments cannot do as well as the private sector. Which is where you started.

Timothy MacNeill 🇨🇦 @timothymacneill.bsky.social · 05/03/2025
You are really stretching here. Canada is an entirely public system. It works much better and more cheaply. Before the US increased the public portions of it's healthcare, outcomes were even worse. It's about as clean a comparison as you can get. It extends to all countries with public systems too.

Per person health care cost Canada $6319 / US $12,555. Life expectancy Canada: 81.7 / US 78.8. Infant mortality rate Canada 4.5 per 1000 / US 5.8.

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

That's a theory, but not based in evidence. For example, why is public health care much more efficient to provide than private?

You just need to look at our relationship throughout history to know that we will always help. It will by systematic and many will willingly open their homes and pay their tax dollars to help our friends and allies who are in distress.

Trudeau: He has said repeatedly, what he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy. Because that will make it easier to annex us. First of all, that's never going to happen. We will never be the 51st state.

Well, that's actually not consistent with any evidence-based economic theory, but you be you.

Timothy MacNeill 🇨🇦 @timothymacneill.bsky.social · 04/03/2025
It's all in the details. There is good spending and bad. The spending multiplier is higher than the tax multiplier - especially if that spending supports high consumption or productivity-enhancing things. So redistribution, infrastructure, and R&D spending is both good for GDP and gvt balance sheets
100
Timothy MacNeill 🇨🇦 @timothymacneill.bsky.social · 04/03/2025
Seems like they intend an export tax though. Which makes sense. US needs it so much that an export tax will be paid by the US customers, not Canadian suppliers. (Low elasticity of demand). We seem to be focusing on that first, but also wine from California for example. Which prompted my question.
010
Timothy MacNeill 🇨🇦 @timothymacneill.bsky.social · 04/03/2025
Sure. That really seems to be the goal though. Along with cutting any fiscal stimulus or even gvt spending. And even without additional cuts in the US, Canada has a much lower debt/GDP ratio and more existing supports - it has much more wiggle room to protect its economy. Its banks are safer too.
100
Timothy MacNeill 🇨🇦 @timothymacneill.bsky.social · 04/03/2025
This is true. And it is why I am wondering about being more surgical. But retaliation also hurts the intended target in addition to the self. Canada has much broader safety nets than the US to safeguard the path through. The US is doing this amidst massive social spending cuts. That's suicide.
100
Timothy MacNeill 🇨🇦 @timothymacneill.bsky.social · 04/03/2025
To those who know more than me: why not target just the red states with tariff retaliation? It seems Canada could strengthen its relation with California, for example, as a strategy. What are the costs/benefits of that?

Timothy MacNeill 🇨🇦 @timothymacneill.bsky.social · 03/03/2025
I get the concern, but disagree. It's not a new precedent if Musk breached "the fundamental principals and values of citizenship". (Espionage or terrorism for ex). Do attempts to use power to interfere in Canadian democracy and undermine sovereignty count? That should be questioned publicly.

Canadians really need to know why Poilievre and the Conservatives were the only parliamentarians voting to block economic cooperation with Ukraine that Zelensky was asking for. And why Poilievre sounds so much like Trump when he speaks. youtube.com/shorts/fBSqC...

Yet again, Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives are turning their backs on Ukraine.
