Mostly lurking, in accordance with the robustness principle. In this house we believe distortionary and redistributive issues should be separated, the notion of a "fiduciary" is essential to the future of democracy, and fascism must be destroyed.

As I have said long time, the court really did take over the job of social issue response with pressure relief votes as legislature deferred. Executive agencies really did take over the job of creating legislation as the legislature became evermore calcified.
Everything is the legislature breaking.

In effect, Grok has answered the question: What sort of logically internally consistent worldview does it take to produce content that won’t routinely offend MAGA sensibilities. And the answer is “a Nazi worldview.”

here's a serious thought: if things go to shit in the US (full Orban style hybrid regime, if not worse) - the US is likely to turn against Canada in an attempt to establish "cultural security" as a result of American emigres seeking refuge here
this is why Canadian political thought needs to think deeply about what a hostile NatCon power on our southern border means for us

You guys need to wise up, you’re not dealing with conservatives or libertarians trying to implement conservative or libertarian policies. You are dealing with fascists trying to destroy the idea of the truth and replace it with the exercise of power.

Canada could make a big move into health research and health system improvement by recruiting top minds from US universities and hospitals. But this would require vision, leadership, and investment from the feds and provinces.

As annoying as the Hashtag Resistance was, they understood how bad stuff could get, whereas the Anti Resistance "don't be hysterical" types have proven themselves to be complete morons every day for 10 entire years
personally i think one should just ignore anti-anti-trump academics who have done nothing but obscure the reality of the situation facing the nation in favor of grinding axes against people they don’t like

We can debate what to do with powerless nazis in a liberal society. Maybe they should be tolerated, maybe they shouldn't. But when nazis take power, there's only one thing to do. Don't hesitate.

trumpism is stupid and it is not deep, there is nothing of interest in it and nothing to say. this creates a problem for the Take Economy, resulting in people making dumber and dumber arguments for the sake of producing their Takes
We are actually seeing people argue “well, at least Donald Trump isn’t an imperialist” as he publicly contemplates using economic and military power to coercively expand America’s de jure control of territory for purposes of national and personal aggrandizement.

That’s true in recent history! In other times the price of fuel / the means to cook (wood fire etc) was much higher and exhibits economies of scale (ie once you make a fire it can cook lots of food for bunch of people). AFAIK In Ancient Rome only the rich could afford to cook at home.
