So, the Monroe Doctrine is officially back. Hierarchy and coercion are the new foundations of the N Am relationship.
Would be nice if Canada had a coherent plan to address this sea change. Trade deals, housing, doubling down on oil and tax cuts are almost laughably insufficient to meet the moment.

None of this is surprising, but unsettling to read in a 33 page official document.
Without mentioning Canada, it clearly states premises for a potential CUSMA review, or any other agreement.
And Team Canada (whatever it is) is incapable of addressing such ⬇️ exploitation and domination threats.

Malone is now talking about the role of undocumented migrants in spreading measles.
There is no evidence of this. I am disgusted. The measles outbreak is American-grown due to declining vaccination coverage in response to disinformation.

This is the go-to position of public health and infection control leaders now, not because it's rational, not because of any basis in science, but 👉because it lets them off the hook👈.
They can rake in those enormous public salaries when times are easy, and when trouble hits, "that's not my job".

The reason the judiciary functions is because judges understand that despite everyone being human beings who hold grudges and have stupid opinions and peccadilloes and flaws, there is a sense that you have to justify what you're doing on more than "because I say so."
