Beware those who promise tax cuts of freezes ( a cut by another name) Tax cuts are spending, spending that takes away programs and services instead of building them. The small amount you save is more than eaten up in extra fees and reduced services.

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

These people are insane
Fragmented, smaller Canadian statelets are much easier for the United States to dominate through closer economic and geopolitical integration, including the COFA arrangement. Such indirect domination is preferable to a straight-up annexation, which will likely lead to a protracted and costly occupation as the presence of the U.S. occupation enflames Canadian nationalism and leads to widespread.

I offer two potential policy options to facilitate this fragmentation.The United States should consider covert support for PQ ahead of the election. These include (1) overt financial support for PQ in the election and (2) psychological operations to foment Quebecois and Albertan separatism, (3) behind-closed-doors trade negotiations with the PQ, where the United States commits to offering lower tariffs on Quebec than on the rest of Canada.Instead, the primary focus should be to weaponize the “reconciliation” process to demoralize Canadian elitedom by delegitimizing the very existence of the confederation. If heritage Canadians are led to believe that their confederation is a sham, they will lack the energy necessary to keep together a fracturing confederation. These efforts include (1) covert litigation financing for indigenous land lawsuits, (2) State Department funding for Indigenous scholars in Canada, and (3) psychological operations to marginalize “denialism” of indigenous claimsDARC

Fragmentatation as strategy in the northern Monroe Doctrine.

On January 3rd, the United States launched its smash-and-grab operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro, securing control of the hemisphere’s largest oil field in a four-hour operation. Just a week later, Canadian Prime Minister Carney visited Beijing to pitch him on a major trade deal, opening up the hemisphere to a flood of Chinese investments in key sectors like automobile and energy.

Carney’s trade deals directly undermined the administration’s National Security Strategy, which aims to ensure a “Hemisphere that remains free of hostile foreign incursion or ownership of key assets.” Just as Washington closed off Caracas’s oil from Chinese access, Ottawa signed away another source of oil in the Western hemisphere to Beijing. No surprise that Chinese propaganda hailed the visit as an opportunity for Canada to assert its “strategic autonomy” from the United States.

These recent events demonstrate that Canada’s desire for strategic autonomy poses a serious national security problem for the United States. The United States cannot share the longest undefended border in the world with a country so eager to court hostile great powers in our hemisphere.

At the same time, Canada today is more splintered than it has been in decades. A wide range of centrifugal forces–specifically provincial separatism, a record-high foreign-born population, and indigenous grievances–may soon precipitate the total fragmentation of our northern neighbor. The United States should exploit the soon-to-arrive fragmentary moment in Canada as an opportunity to drastically reshape the North American environment into one more amenable to U.S. interests.

To fully take advantage of the coming fragmentary moment, the United States must reel in its annexationist desires to the north. Given the obv…
