if this is true, its an incredible play. I am very skeptical!
Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built.

Genuinely shocking moment when Singh did not want to intervene in this law, that would make it illegal for him to serve as a public official
they have in 2019. Quebec banned visible religious symbols on public officials including teachers. So basically excluding Sikhs and women who wear head coverings from teaching

Cyclists say the green posts make bike lanes like Bell Road too narrow. HRM says the posts are temporary while permanent fix is planned.

"Hey so we want to be bailed out by growth and also we want the population to go down, particularly for mobile high productivity labour"
PM describes net migration of 205k as "a step in the right direction". His govt has no public position on a sustainable level of immigration is, nor any known process to decide what, why & how. Starmer is now implying he wants it significantly lower

I just rewatched SHATTERED GLASS (and reread the article, which being by Buzz Bissinger is great) and it's really a portrayal of a very specific moment - that brief period when people didn't realize that the internet let everyone factcheck, but before rampant shamelessness.
Honestly the combination of the alleged source betrayals and secret recordings and the way this has rolled out has just fundamentally fucked us all in a way that’s bigger than the Stephen Glass scandal by a significant margin, and I think everyone is grappling with that in real time
