“Because conflict is often justified through historical narratives, and because cultural heritage is tied to identity and homeland, stories around cultural heritage may be purposed to either legitimate or exploit geopolitical aims.” —Mischa Geracoulis, human rights journalist

Yes Scott Stirrett! In 🇨🇦 16=taxes, keys to machines that kill, criminal responsibility, consent. Let’s solve for #DemocraticResilience earlier. La recherche montre qu’étendre le #vote à 16ans assure la participation informée + donc notre sécurité #Vote16Canada www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Communiqué de la SDJ de l'AFP à propos de ses journalistes à Gaza : "Depuis que l’AFP a été fondée, nous avons perdu des journalistes dans des conflits, [...], mais aucun de nous n’a le souvenir d’avoir vu un collaborateur mourir de faim. Nous refusons de les voir mourir."

Great leadership from the UK. We need to solve for democratic resilience earlier in the cycle, and research shows this is a winning path. C’est le moment pour le Canada de se joindre à cette évolution qui renforcera notre sécurité et notre bien-être! On y va #Vote16Canada 🇨🇦

For forty years or more we've lived with the "more market, less government" nostrum. Now that ethos is running on stilts, at exactly a time when demographics, climate change, AI, corporate concentration and rising geopolitical tensions are demanding more government, less market.

2) Beware of certain complaints about our single-member plurality system. It's *perfectly valid* to prefer PR, but there's no such thing as "wasted votes" and remember, it's 343 separate elections, not one giant prime ministerial one: if your party can't win many seats they needed deeper support.

Very nice piece. Monopoly point is especially trenchant. A business prof, of anyone, should recognize the problems of barriers to entry, rent-seeking, suppressed innovation, capture, etc that have direct analogies here. DEI is antimonopoly and both efficient for general welfare and morally just.
