For decades, I’ve been hammering the difference between spending & investing, especially in the context of wrong-headed austerity cutting. We do a bad job explaining how NOT spending on things that save money or have an established return-on-investment actually COSTS us money.
Carney gets that!

Strong leaders are not afraid of independent media.
CBC/Radio-Canada is a pillar of our Canadian identity.
We’re going to strengthen our public broadcaster with more long-term funding, and a modernized mandate — to deliver more local news and keep Canadians better informed during emergencies.

Made the first long-ish trip in our EV, 320 miles round trip, average efficiency 4.4miles/kWh. Surprising just how much stuff the relatively small car can take. Should be a good little workhorse

WA's biggest corporations (Microsoft, Alaska Airlines, T-Mobile, etc) are backing a campaign to push #waleg to not raise taxes even if it means massive cuts to public services. Yet WA voters have made very clear they want these taxes to happen.

My grandma was a Biafra war survivor.
So it’s likely certain survival instincts for me are kicking in about our current situation.
But from her I learned it’s possible for things to be a little shaky for a while, and then one day all of a sudden, your world is gone, and you have to leave.

This is technically a protected bike lane, but in my years living nearby I’ve never seen a bike on it. Vehicles fast and large give the impression that with just one text message they might roll over the rail onto you.

This is why you fight these cowards.

Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.
He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Nobody believes Canada will become the 51st state, but the relationship has changed. Canada should consider reorienting toward a sufficiency economy with a new social contract. “Enough, for everyone, forever.” lloydalter.substack.com/p/is-canada-...
Is Canada about to experience Rapid Unscheduled Degrowth?
This might be a good time to rebuild around a sufficiency economy.

What folks are getting a tough lesson in right now: Institutions are people. They are not abstract forces that exist as firewalls or safeguards. They are just people who play a role and who perhaps have abided by norms, but whose decisions minute to minute shape the role those institutions play.
