I think this is absolutely part of the market for regeneratively-raised animals mentioned in the article.
It's also important to note that most non-meat sources of protein are incomplete, so folks need education if they're going off of meat proteins. That's not something that gets mentioned enough

This. This is the precise problem. It's not like the US was a flawless entity that was easy to deal with before, but there's been a state change (in the physical sense of the phrase) now that has made it not merely impossible to trust the administration, but to trust the voting body as a whole.
New in PN: Trump blames Canada
"It isn’t just Trump that Canada can’t trust. It’s us, the American people. Trump may have low approval now, but his numbers were even worse after J6 and we still returned him to power. At this point, no one can have faith that everything will go back to normal."

Exactly. People keep talking about “TACO,” but the “CO” never lasts for longer than a few days before he doubles down again.
Mentally declining and also never having inclined old man starts to freak out over bad “public relations” about the murder squad he assembles, then sees things on the tv and shown things online that get him Mad, yelling at the tv, engaging in yet more whiny fascism, rinse repeat
Trump is clearly distancing himself from the bad pr of noem and miller, he’s not calling Alex Pretti a terrorist he’s calling him an insurrectionist who had it coming.

I don't have the kind of time I had a few years ago to investigate and write on this kind of question, so if anyone has a good resource that addresses how these things fit together, I'd love to see it.

There's also a disconnect on what Build Canada Homes is really intended to do. Its mission is to increase housing supply, but it seems to have no involvement in regulation of new development/redevelopment, which is frequently cited as a major blocker to addressing the housing gap.

That's a far cry from the 60,000 units cited by other local housing advocates, which I understand to be a number raised by CMHC. So I'm not sure how those two numbers get resolved, even considering they're not talking about quite the same thing.

A disconnect I'm seeing right now, and maybe I'm going to try to dig into in the next while, is housing demand in NL. Listening to The Signal from the other day, one of the guests stated she thought that 500-1000 units would make a significant dent in the need.

The American dream is not to be at a protest. The American dream is not about being in conflict with the government. We're providing a way out of that. As of yesterday, ICE has moved at least 9 people out of the protest movement PERMANENTLY.

It hadn't even occurred to me that the whole Venezuelan oil thing could be an end run around the need to involve the US Congress in funding for Trump's actions, which is a good reality check on how well I understand what's happening south of the border. But wow, that's got terrifying implications.

I feel like there's a catch-22 there in a sense, in that if we as a society had the empathy for our neighbours to use riches to make lives better for the people around us we'd probably also have the empathy for the people we exploit around the world to never be this rich in the first place.
