Apply Hanlon's Razor for sanity: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." Hitchens for efficiency "What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence." Use Occam for the rest.
Roadtrip prowl. Last week of Sept, a 5-7 day loop in southern Alta. 1A from Canmore, motels stops not pre-planned. Any favourite interesting spots I'm likely to miss?

Hmmm, it makes quite the list of changes.
Wariness.
No one-career focus on education.
More awareness of the blurriness of the world: gender, sexuality, your choice of culture, etc.
Randomness of outcomes. "do X and it causes Y". Good plans can fail, bad succeed. It's still a bad plan.

I want my DEI back ! Now!
Come on. Doesn't have to be a black VP ( eye liner doesn't count) or even a gay Transport Secretary but please, please, . . . maybe somebody who loves ballet or figure skating.

"Why not end the uncertainty that is paralyzing both sides of the border and that is also costing us jobs today," Poilievre pledges an immediate renegotiation of CUSMA trade agreement if he's PM.
I'm not sure which Lucy scenario best depicts his delusions.

Here's the protest in a Turkish city of about 500,000. Likely most just walked over to it. A USA city of that size gets a couple hundred people, maybe, to a Tesla dealers. That's why Harris lost. That's why Trump is easily getting fascism accepted.

Taking advantage of this needs to be part of the economic renewing that the government is planning on, even if we need some serious squeezing-in at first. Energy, industrial, agricultural and intellectual powerhouse.

Ekos poll. Maga, RfD germany, our Cons - low income people vote for a party that is fully against their interest simply because they're given somebody to blame (elites, immigrant, jews, color, etc). It works. Always has.
PP has voted against most social programs that help them.

It's summed with this quote from DanielIe Smith -
"I'd say, on balance, the perspective that Pierre would bring would be very much in sync with, I think…the new direction in America,”
Yes, we all know that,but it helps to get a current (March) confirming comment from his friend.

MacFarlane on Non-Fox media -" treating every lunacy coming out of the White House as if it’s ordinary politics, or framing stories as if journalistic objectivity requires presenting ‘two sides’, even if one side comprises nothing but baseless lies."
Our media. Same price to pay.

A social setting is usually easy to explain/understand. A planned support-showing action is , er, a lot tougher.

HillTimes headline. Hmm, did Britain keep ordering German equipment in 1939? Errrh, of course it hurts us and is minor to the USA. Big picture: don't rely on those who may be on the other side, whether battle or coercion, to keep us in parts and functioning. What am I missing?

Fox News level gaslighting. A reporter reading the comments about Rosie accusing the PM, in England, of lying ( "...hard to believe") and twisting it to be about some bad, good, or stupid question/s. A statement is NOT a question.
Do better.
We need good journalists.

Vassy ( CTV) is Rosie Barton's role model. Here's Vassy on the PM trips to strengthen allies and talk trade. "... there'll be a lot more of what we're seeing over the last 48 hours, uh, trips kind of acting Prime Ministerial to convey .." er, 'acting' is when you're NOT the PM and faking it.

Was this the crowd around Schumer's house before the vote? No? Why not? Let's not hear anymore about what the Dem's are doing or wish to do or .... , when they're not capable of doing simple things like this.

Long before Carney, it was always rather amazing that people thought this guy had any skills to be a political leader that could represent Canada at Nato, G7, etc. He's the type of politician you use as 'the enforcer' in a hockey game, the attack dog for the leader. Carney just makes it obvious.

Hold it. These Liberal leaders didn't listen to the Ian's Kevin O'Leary advice about what to do when your countries under attack. Ian, Brodie ... get on the phone , straigthen them out. Tell them it's just a comment, a proposal ..

The David Moscrop idea for the show was alongs the lines that would be useful and reflect the countries feeling on the matter. I was hoping 'the gap' Ian bragged about was that he'd spun the show in this direction. WHY I thought Ian would I can't explain. David got a lot of likes.

Odd. Frum thought he was being invited to discuss a topic that could have served some purpose. Leading to "How do we respond? act in the meantime? etc"
Did they misinform his or did he just assume decency and rationality from the CBC?

Set aside the sane-washing, the bothsiding, the normalizing and just review it, as we always should, from the sense of "Did the host reveal any personal bias by the question, the format, the callers allowed to speak, the guests, the handling of all those, etc?" Interesting and necessary exercise.

Here's a guest that should be on instead of a Maga promoter. She understands the danger and stands up to it.
"I truly believe that we must stand up, use our voices and try to protect ourselves… no - we should express our outrage in the face of any abuses of power."
It applies here

“As I’ve said unequivocally from the beginning, there’s not a snowball’s chance in hell that Canada will EVER be the 51st state.”

No.No, JT. Too soon. Too definitive. Ian H wants us to discuss Trumps proposal on Sunday. cheeesh.
