Interesting choice for a would-be Canadian prime minister to be cheering what Trump is framing as the start of an effort to assert U.S. dominance across the Western hemisphere.

Check out Justice Eddins’ complete repudiation of the Roberts Court here. It’s worth reading in full. It’s quite brave—and exceedingly rare—for a sitting judge to speak so candidly and scathingly about SCOTUS’ partisan contortions of law, history, and fact.

There is genuine mismanagement, and then there is Ford underfunding school boards and then blaming the trustees for not balancing their books (on the backs of special needs children primarily), and he doesn't differentiate between the two while he centralises authority over education.
Doug Ford says people ‘done’ with school board spending scandals as his education minister considers axing trustees
"There's some good and there's some bad ones," the premier said Wednesday morning after an announcement in Caledon.

During Covid, this was true. Since Covid, even more true. It’s a reflexive selfishness, a rejection of the social compact, of shared community and purpose, of citizenry, and often of reality.
Conservatism is fundamentally childish. “I don’t wanna and you can’t make me!”
