Canadians are lucky to be led by such a clear-eyed leader

“We know the old order is not coming back. We shouldn’t mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy… The powerful have their power. But we have something, too: the capacity to stop pretending.”

— Canadian PM Mark Carney at Davos, basically announcing divorce from America and receiving a standing ovation

Last year in Boston was Jetway with a handheld device. Last month in Hawaii, handheld device on a stand as you swipe your boarding pass.

It’s been a pilot program for a while. I had the same happen to me last year (under Biden) leaving Boston for Europe. Same last month leaving Hawaii for New Zealand, tho there were no CBP agents present and the camera was operated by gate agents. It’s what we do now.

CARNEY: “.. You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination.” 🔥

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

I feel like I’ve gone insane. He’s trying to set up a world government. Is there no one in the Republican Party who will say no? There was a time they were all about saying no to world government…

Did Ukraine get invited? Probably not. That’s all you need to know about this garbage project

It’s about racism and fear. FWIW, that man is apparently an American citizen.

Eff all these people

Brian JM Quinn @bjmquinn.bsky.social · 3d

He learned that particular trick from Mitt Romney et al

Brian JM Quinn @bjmquinn.bsky.social · 3d

Uh. No. No such luck for them.

Brian JM Quinn @bjmquinn.bsky.social · 3d

Putin’s bitch. 🍊🤡

Brian JM Quinn @bjmquinn.bsky.social · 3d

As former Governor of two (!) central banks, I think he might have thought about this question before…

Brian JM Quinn @bjmquinn.bsky.social · 3d

Nope.

Brian JM Quinn @bjmquinn.bsky.social · 3d

… because the sheer volume of other insanity between now and mkt open will simply drown out the impact of this attempt at national suicide?

Twice?!

Brian JM Quinn @bjmquinn.bsky.social · 5d

If you put it that way, it seems bad.

Brian JM Quinn @bjmquinn.bsky.social · 5d

It’s very sad what has happened to my country in such a short amount of time.

Brian JM Quinn @bjmquinn.bsky.social · 6d

I dunno. That letter seems very sternly worded.

Brian JM Quinn @bjmquinn.bsky.social · 7d

I think he means the overreach and the incompetence are so glaringly obvious that it appears inevitable that the effort will fail under its own weight. Not guaranteed and will take work on our part still

Brian JM Quinn @bjmquinn.bsky.social · 7d

Too bad. Too bad. There used to be a little heft to the corp law. No it’s only money/power. I can’t even make fun of my con law colleagues anymore!

Brian JM Quinn @bjmquinn.bsky.social · 7d

Seriously? So pathetic if true.
