3/ Appeasing Trump does nothing except embolden him. Canada should be in coalition talks with countries around the world who are being targeted or are outraged by US impunity. We are always stronger together.

I wonder if this is how it was described to Mark Carney before he decided to participate? (According to officials, of course.)

Yes, Carney fans are doing exactly the kind of rationalizing we've come to expect. There is no line for them.
I don't believe he is mulling it over. He is being vague for a reason. They still have to discuss things to agree on details. You don't rationalize with a crazy man through the media. Canada will probably give money to Gaza, but it will be humanitarian aid, not bribery.

I really hope he finally grasps the threat. Him being willing to join a "Peace Board" chaired for life by Trump kinda undermines that hope though.

Canada must not do this. It is a mockery of international political governance, legitimizing the idea that Trump can simply push aside other countries' sovereignty.

Black folks and immigrants have long lived in a "perogative state" when it comes to law enforcement, and maybe pundits at the largest national outlets should recognize that their past support for punitive policing and immigration enforcement laid the groundwork for the current moment.

This headline is misleading. The article does not say there are actual productivity gains from AI, only that richer countries are adopting AI at a faster pace. It says that *IF* adoption leads to productivity gains (desired, but by no means guaranteed), then between-countries inequality will rise.
New evidence shows a growing #AI divide: productivity gains are concentrating in richer countries and limited elsewhere. Without deliberate investment in access, skills, and measurement, AI risks deepening inequality rather than advancing the #SDGs.

This timeline is beyond absurd.
It's wild that European leaders are deploying troops to Greenland to "demonstrate they are serious about ensuring the security of Greenland against China and Russia", when it is blindingly obvious that the threat is emanating *not* from China and Russia but from the United States.
