Populists like Smith don’t just win by mobilizing their base — they win by convincing everyone else that their base is bigger and more mainstream than it actually is.

👉That’s the core of the populist playbook: make a small, loud group look universal so everyone else stays quiet.

So ridiculous. I recently saw a video of someone in a Costco holding up the label of their beef tallow proclaiming that it was a source of protein. The label clearly said protein: 0g.

Anything to hop on a trend.

It also discusses trade implications when a government does not properly contain an outbreak, something I haven't seen mentioned in any of the discourse I've seen.

This is a great Q&A, including answers about why an ostrich farm exists in the first place and how much the CFIA reimburses the affected farmers when a cull is necessary. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

....but the story of what can happen when a conflict devalues human life so thoroughly that murder becomes policy, and silence becomes strategy."

Have we learned nothing?

What an absolute ghoul.

We are all reeling from the news of Dr. Markland's death. He was the best of humanity and reminded us to care about others and the bigger world around us. His loss is immeasurable. So I guess Makis was right about one thing - they were the exact opposite.

I think these predatory sites scrape news of deaths and post fake obituaries. They then try to get people to purchase flowers, or a popup tells them they have a virus, etc. Its horrific they do this. But they do have to scrape it from somewhere so it probably came from a private post.

Surely they realize that this is best handled in a one-off manner, much like the new fairness in girls' sports rules? It's so un-libertarian, if that's what she still claims to be. What's that expression - using a sledgehammer to crack a nut? LET THE PARENTS AND TEACHERS SORT IT THEMSELVES!

Jaws?? I haven't read it in a while but I don't remember anything book-ban worthy?

As for the Handmaid's Tale, maybe they'll move it to the non-fiction list soon anyway.
