In the era of social media, the fact that left-liberal/center-left people find it infinately more interesting to debate each other than they do to engage conservatives is, I think, objectively, very detrimental to our democracy. I don't know how we change this. I'm also guilty of it. It is a problem

I’ve been saying this for most of my adult life — I don’t know why we put so much weight during political campaigns on candidate debates. I was a competitive debater when I was young, & altho I value those skills, they don’t overlap with the knowledge and skills I want in good leaders and governors.

The fear among academics and lawyers now talking on the record on just about any topic that involves the federal government or the White House is really extraordinary and worrisome, and getting worse, it seems to me, every week. Dissent by an establishment figures becoming verboten in the US

Upcoming Canadian tariffs on books coming from the US will hit independent Canadian bookstores hard since many of the books, including by Canadian authors, come through publishers and warehouses in the US. Cdn govt looking for feedback here: forms-formulaires.alpha.canada.ca/en/id/cm7upm...
