Digital divides and sparse transport options plague both Global North and South. But the South has a surprising advantage: most people are not car dependent, and informal transport already serves them.

If the President ignores the U.S. Constitution and no one enforces it on him, does that mean it is now for all practical purposes defunct and states can do as they wish?
There is more at stake with a President who defies the U.S. Constitution than one person or one law. It is the system itself.

He has to watch out - if the Adelaide coach doesn't use his press conference to talk about how fortunate they were to never get pinged for holding the ball in the crucial goals they scored, then people (not me*) might accuse him of hypocrisy #afl

The reason I know that Pierre Poilievre is lying about why he refuses to apply for the normal security check to receive the normal security clearance for anyone in his position, is the fact that he started his answer with the part (see below) that was literally the easiest to fact check as a lie.
Pierre Poilievre was asked in the #LeadersDebate why he still refuses to get the normal security check & clearance. Poilievre lied as usual in his answer, starting with the lie that he “already got one so there’s no problem with that.”
10 years ago.
That’s not how clearances work and he knows it.

That’s not how clearances work and he knows it.
Reminder: Pierre Poilievre STILL refuses to apply for the normal, usual security clearance, the Canadian media is STILL under-reporting that, and I’m STILL choosing to assume under these dangerous and scary circumstances that it’s because he knows that he wouldn’t pass the security check.

@Bandersnatch @DemocracyMattersALot Remember Tesla lies, outrageously. They just tried to claim they sold thousands of cars in Canada they didn't. There will be lots of that in the upcoming earning report. We'll have to read analysts to find out what's actually going on.
