Investing in people and in social goods: smart and moral economics for PM Carney's "major projects" push

On Premier Smith’s courting of election influencing from Trump: a question first of morality but also of criminal law
The Chief Electoral Officer of Canada denies she engaged in any wrongdoing under the Canada Elections Act. It is a different matter under the Foreign Interference and Security of Information Act.

Just posted, “An Age of Authoritarianism and Aggression,” which you can click to read below.

The lead image is of a draft Executive Order circulating in the US administration. It would have Trump designate fentanyl as a Weapon of Mass Destruction.

Laughing even when it hurts. Geopolitical satire and cartoon commentary will sharpen our awareness like little else. @zezvaz.bsky.social's Tiananmen Man Stopping Tesla Cybertruck Tanks deserves to go viral (maybe it has, and I am late to the party!).

What is happening via the Trump, Musk, Vance trio (add in as many support players like Rubio) is far from a laughing matter. But we need to laugh even if it is as schadenfreude. See: Tesla Cybertruck spinning in the Montreal snow: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrKC... Poetic justice. Small victories. Etc.
