Premier Tim Houston has a hate on for ‘special interest groups’ but won’t say who they are. Here are the actual special interests in Nova Scotia. www.halifaxexaminer.ca/dismantling-... by @joanbaxter.bsky.social

Houston’s recent rhetoric is right out of the conservative, populist right-wing playbook being used by autocratic politicians the world over.

Staff are explaining to councillor White that one of the downsides of a reallocation of lanes plan is that it might make driving suck so bad people would start to take the bus and achieve councils mode shift goals.

Gang, at this point I’m too disillusioned to expect all of you to mask always (even though you should), but for the love of GOD, please at least mask at airports and on planes when you travel to events!!!

. @maryharris.bsky.social Thank you for this morning's podcast on Guantanamo Bay. You've filled in a lot of gaps in my knowledge. I have huge worries about it, which I wrote about Tuesday: www.halifaxexaminer.ca/morning-file...
I first became aware of Timothy Snyder in 2014, when I happened upon a podcast of his lecture at the London School of Economics. Snyder has a lot today to say about autocracy, and how to oppose it (read his Substack). But at that time, in 2014, I was struck by part of his argument, which is that the most systematic of the killing by the Nazis, the death camps, was on the edges of the regime. To be sure, there was plenty of violence against and murder of Jews in Germany proper, but in the national jurisdiction there was at least the semblance of a justice system, of bureaucracies and red tape that provided some (limited, but still) protection for Jews. So the wholesale slaughter of Jews necessarily involved exporting them outside the area of (limited, but still) protection, to the death camps in occupied Poland. That’s the reason the death camps were primarily in Poland, because there, there was no legal process that could intervene in the killing. Which brings me to Guantanamo Bay. The Gitmo camp was created precisely to evade the structures and protections of U.S. law in order to torture Muslims. That’s it. There was no other reason to place the detention centre somewhere that wasn’t in the U.S. proper. And there it sits, the last handful of Muslims living out their tortured last years outside the sight of U.S. courts and (with some very few exceptions) media and civil society organizations. Now, Trump is turning Gitmo into a concentration camp for immigrants. It is an extralegal process, a camp that is again being used to evade the structures and protections of U.S. law. It will not take much to turn from a torture camp to a death camp — what’s going to stop it from happening, the decency of the Trump administration?

Following the CDC's removal of critical health data and the potential approval of RFK Jr. as Health Secretary, it is crucial to access accurate health information from independent sources such as the WHO, Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins University, and peer-reviewed journals.

Starlink should be seen as a threat to national security here in Canada.

Anything linked to people actively sabotaging a current government's communication infrastructure and casually talking about annexing our country should have no place carrying any of our potentially secure communication.
