Absolutely fucking disgraceful. Beyonds words how sycophantic and disgusting this is.

Oh just f... off...."with some regret". Where did Cpt Courageous go?

Au moins, une bonne nouvelle ce matin.

I swear to god, if the USA and Israel attacked the moon, Western leaders would welcome this as a step towards stabilising Earth moon relations.

Carney, Anand and the entire Canadian govt are pathetic.

Leonard should have stayed with the Raptors. With them, he had a chance of winning 1 or 2 more championships. www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...

My essay on socialism after AI has triggered quite a debate - so much so that I wrote a much longer second essay. That same issue of The Ideas Letter also contains two lengthy responses to my original piece www.theideasletter.org/essay/the-so...

Lol, quelle surprise ! Comme disait mon grand-père: "chaque torchon trouve sa quénille!"

New Brunswick, an east coast Canadian province of about 900,000 people, will no longer use billionaire Elon Musk’s social media platform X for routine government communications, its leader announced

I'm not sure how much such a poll is worth. We're a long way from a referendum campaign and the dynamics of campaigns can have their own logic.

Great news for the Liberals, I suppose. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

Well, there are far worst ways to spend a day.

Au moins Drainville a le sens d'humour.

Westad is always worth reading, I think. But I wonder if the pre-1914 period really is the most apt comparison with today, if only because of the differences in rhe nature of war. Greenland, America and the end of Atlanticism - giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/... via @FT

Well there goes the social capital he gained at Davos, at least in Québec. I'd like to know which skilled group of advisors wrote this speech for him.

The cumulative horror of current events means it's easier for things to slip from our attention. Since genocide was re-branded as 'ceasefire,' the world has moved on - no marches, only small, isolated protests. While Greenland trends, the map of Gaza has shrunk by half...

A joke for the history buffs: Germany’s satirical newspaper @der-postillon.com titles: “Vienna Academy of the Arts offers Trump admission as a student — They don’t want to get blamed again“

Far Side

Quite frankly, it’s outrageous that Mark Carney is cutting Statistics Canada. If he was Stephen Harper or Pierre Poilievre, I feel like this would be getting a lot more backlash. Carney of all people should know the importance of high-quality data and information about the country.

This was predictable, though I thought he would wait a bit longer. His political legacy will be one of failure. Aside from managing the COVID pandemic fairly well, It's difficult to point to anything positive that the CAQ govt had done. Good riddance.

Le premier de plusieurs j'imagine.

Le maire de Matagami, René Dubé, estime que la région du Nord-du-Québec perdra un grand allié avec le départ de Denis Lamothe l'automne prochain. « Il a fait de l’excellent travail pour Matagami et pour l’ensemble de notre région », affirme-t-il. | #Abitibi #Témiscamingue #polqc #Ungava

Does Blair have any redeeming qualities?

Der #Januarstreik 1918 war einer der größten Massenstreiks in der deutschen Geschichte. Seine Interpretation ist bis heute von Mythen und Fehlurteilen begleitet, wie Benjamin Ziemann in unserem neuen Blogartikel schreibt:

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth. The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%. Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

I truly hate the CAQ government.

I expected this to happen but no so quickly.

I suppose the question now is not who is on the list but who isn't.
