The Carney government’s refusal to take the smallest steps against Musk’s CSAM microblogging site reflects the toxic mix of Carney’s strategy of not upsetting the US lest they punish us at the negotiating table, and his FOMO-driven AI policy.
We’re starting to see the fatal flaws in both strategies.

If Solomon and Carney can’t handle this slam-dunk — if they can’t even bring themselves and their government to stop supporting and using a CSAM platform — there is absolutely no reason to think they will do any better on literally any other file that affects US interests.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

Much better is this sober assessment of where Canada is, the stakes, the risks, the costs and the payoffs: independence with a lower standard of living to pay for the economic and physical security we’ve gotten almost for free until now, or the gilded cage of vassaldom/US statehood. Gift link.

Imagined victimhood is a foundational tenet of fascism. Persecution fantasies permeate conservative politics. Their great oppressors include racial diversity, science, drag brunch, children's literature, public education, N-95 masks, electric cars, medicine, the rule of law, empathy, and Ms. Rachel.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

This is factually wrong: Mark Carney won an election making this exact argument. And his policies were supposed to address this exact problem.
