Another way to put it is, whose money are they trying to save? Not ours.

And they all *really* hate smart women.

They hate and fear educated people, they hate the idea that facts could undermine their "moral view" on everything. Harper had scientific libraries destroyed. They made the census worthless by making the "long form" optional instead of compulsory for 20% of households.

I was a research scientist for the Canadian Gvt for 30 years. They are doing more in two weeks than what took 9 years for Harper. Humiliate public servants, make their life miserable, add layers of control and restrictions impeding their work, put sycophants in position of power. 1/

This is the peril of allowing weapons of mass destruction to exist. Sooner or later, men like Trump and Putin realize they don't want to use them for deterrence. They want to use them to do whatever the hell they want.

Multilateralism cannot co-exist with Might-Makes-Right.

We need to choose.
