Angus: Well, Donald Trump, I’m going to say this once—and I might never say it again—I want to thank you. I want to thank you for bringing Canada together.

Carney: We are over the shock of the American betrayal, but we should never forget the lessons. We have to look out for ourselves and above all, we have to take care of each other.

There are two reasons why the Liberal Party of Canada won last night:
1) Trudeau did what was best for his country, not what was best for him, and stepped down to give Mark Carney a chance.
2) That asshole in the WH opened his mouth and attacked Canadian sovereignty.

Disinformation actors silence independent research on topics like climate, health, inequality, or information risks.
This is in an untenable position where researchers have to defend against their actions to remain independent.
We will not cede independence.
