Separation is justified if you think (1) progressive taxation is wrong (2) social programs are wrong (3) the resources that lie within the boundaries of the province should benefit those - and only those - 1/3

It follows from this that every girl/woman after puberty has a duty to try to get pregnant every month (except for those months in which they are already pregnant).

Mike Johnson: "I was the product of an unplanned teen pregnancy exactly one year before Roe. A lot of people tried to convince my very young parents that they should just take care of that problem. But I am eternally grateful that they allowed me the chance at life."

“Canada lives because of the United States” (Trump). Yes Canada lives because throughout our history we have chosen not to be part of the United States, to understand ourselves as different from the US, to follow a different path than the US, and to play a different role in the world than the US.

If we had any doubts before, the statements today by the leader and deputy leader of the Conservative Party enthusiastically supporting the American actions in Venezuela make clear that the federal Conservative Party as currently constituted must never hold office in this country.

End speed traps and roadside breathalyzer, since they don’t give drivers a fair opportunity to evade the law? What about police use of fingerprint and DNA evidence which are unfair to criminals, since it makes it harder for them to escape punishment? www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

The active element of the CPC - the base - is hard right, even extreme and will no doubt continue to dominate nomination meetings, and leadership races. A moderate CPC leader would have won a clear majority. Still more than 40% voted for a Cdn version of the Republican Party.

I'm seeing the opening of the wonderful @grahamisador.bsky.social's play, Truck, at Factory Theatre next week! Now more than ever I think a lot of us can relate to the fear of tech stealing our livelihoods. It runs the 26-30th! Go support the arts before they're gone! www.cbc.ca/arts/truck-p...

If the Conservatives had a different leader - and not someone whose entire life has been about partisan attack - the time might be right for a unity gov in Canada. The country is under threat. The welfare of the country mattered to past Conservative leaders. It is not part of Poilievre’s agenda.

The cdn economy will be disrupted in ways that are significant and painful but over time it will reorient itself. Canadians, though, will never again regard the US as a good faith actor.

Trump Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: "It was supposed to be a unifying and bipartisan church service ... everybody there was shocked and mortified by the disturbing comments from this bishop who chose to weaponize the pulpit ... she spewed lies."
