If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

People are making too much of Trump "winning" for the Liberals. Carney won for Prime Minister. If he were just another Trudeau he wouldn't have won. He was clearly the most competent leader and neither side wanted Poilievre's shitty rhetoric. That's all.

WTF is up with the conservative obsession with cancel culture??? It's bizarre. It felt out of meaningful liberal discourse some time in 2022, no? In the meantime, US Conservatives moved on to legislatively erasing people, careers, identities, etc. anyway.
