Cutting staffing is a provincial policy. You need to ask your premier this question. The federal government supplements each province’s system and the province decides how to spend it. Many provinces are with-holding funds to encourage further privatisation. Ontario is the perfect example.

Tuberville: “We just saw what happened in NY. We lost NY. It will be completely Muslim in 3-4 years. That’s what they want. And it’s going to spread throughout the country.”

Savvy, both in terms of the source used and conveying concern about GOP control, which obviously matters far more to Trump than Main Street suffering itself.
It's easy enough for Trump to blame the press when he's in a Q&A session about "affordability" with reporters. It's harder when he's hearing from a voter who is struggling. That's why I thought this was a savvy move by Fox's Bret Baier:

If you’re an Nvidia bull, the worrying thing about Jensen Huang saying that “China is going to win the AI race” is what’s left unsaid at the end of that sentence: “despite not having access to Nvidia’s flagship chips or wanting its nerfed ones” sherwood.news/markets/nvid... $NVDA
Nvidia slumps as Jensen Huang warns that China “will win” the AI race versus the US
What’s left unsaid is perhaps the most important....

Seems the IR subfield is so committed to the patron-client/proxy conceptualisation of allied relationships b/n bigger and smaller countries that it often can’t contemplate that the smaller state has agency and drives the relationship. Maybe that accounts for the failure to understand the Ru-Ukr war…

If you boycott elections, candidates logically ignore you and focus on the voters they can still get.
There’s a reason pundits keep nudging Dems to a mushy middle. Those folks are idiots, yes, but they’re idiots who show up to vote.
And that matters more to a candidate than your smart apathy.

Power is always enormously interested in truth. Especially in manipulating it.
Intelligence is about telling truth to power. If power isn’t interested in truth, what’s the point?

Authorities have arrested a Florida man for intentionally starting the fire that burned Los Angeles's Pacific Palisades. So why does it feel like the fire was started by a cat-eating immigrant from war-ravaged Portland, Oregon?

"Agribusinesses “are very capitalist except when it comes to hiring and paying workers...." Costa said. “They want the free market to prevail except when it comes to paying the workers. In that case we need government intervention immediately.”"
So this is funny.
The administration just issued a rule slashing foreign agricultural worker wages. And to justify it, in a public filing, Trump's Labor Department alleges that Trump's immigration enforcement has devastated the Ag workforce and caused a "risk of supply shock-induced food shortages."

Trump Labor Department Says His Immigration Raids Are Causing a Food Crisis
In a filing in the Federal Register, the Labor Department argues there are “immediate dangers to the American food supply” due to a lack of migrant agricultural workers.
