This is an act of self-harm to Canada. Especially coming at a time when the United States is destroying its own statistical capacity and reliable data has never been more needed.
It's another signal that this Liberal government sees no value in the work of government. Utter, utter foolishness.

I‘ve been a long time wondering when most of the people I know would acknowledge that the world has irrevocably changed. I thought all the shocking climate reportage would do it; nada. Then, Covid; written off, boring, we‘ll just keep pushing the documented ill-effects down the road.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

I don’t think folks appreciate enough that the reason Minneapolis was prepared for this moment is because of all the organizing from (and before) Black Lives Matter.

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

it might seem foolhardy for a regime to launch an illegal war of aggression in a bid to restore legitimacy it never had in the first place, but people also say that about couples who fix failing marriages by having a new kid, home invading their neighbor, and setting the whole subdivision on fire
