An election was fought and won on "elbows up" without ever defining what we meant and now Canada appears poised to outsource drug decisions to foreign regulators. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...
The Carney government is about to give up a vital bit of sovereignty. Worse, it could harm Canadians’ health
The lessons of the tainted blood scandal appear to be forgotten.

Minnesota should get the Nobel peace prize.
People in Minnesota are now using their key fobs to trigger their car alarms from the safety of their homes when they see ICE walking around.

Wrong. Completely wrong. Canada *does* need to be 'performative'. It's called leadership. Upholding democratic norms is done by vocal support and action, not going mute when things get tough out of cowardice and self preservation.
Canada doesn't need to be performative. The EU is making a statement because they need to demonstrate their unity and strength.

It's very funny and makes 100% sense given what we know about how and why men do violence in public.
Consciously or not, they're doing it for approval and acceptance from their in-group, so when their in-group rejects them, the expected reward becomes a punishment.

When I lecture to students about how the apparently thriving economy of the 1920s was really a house of cards just waiting to be knocked down, one of the points I stress is how much a small number of the very rich were essentially propping up consumer spending in unsustainable ways
The top 10% now account for nearly half of all consumer spending.

Trump likes “Donroe Doctrine” but it’s really the “Darth Vader” doctrine: "I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further.” Whatever government thinks they've reached an agreement with the US is deluding itself. These agreements are not worth the gold embossed napkins they are written on.

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.
They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

It's weird that the administration is pushing Americans to have more (white) babies at the same time it's putting Stephen Miller on television, when scientists have proven that listening to his whiny shit-weasel voice for more than thirty seconds will make any adult sterile.
Miller: Denmark is a tiny country with a tiny economy and a tiny military. They cannot defend Greenland… Under every understanding of law that has existed about territorial control for 500 years, to control a territory you have to be able to defend a territory…
