The nation-building project Canada actually needs is to double down on the care economy.

There are millions of care workers doing essential, low-carbon work that holds our society together. Our plan will massively expand and improve these jobs – for the benefit of everyone.

spent 30 minutes sifting through a bunch of people arguing whether a political party is disintegrating because of bullying or tacitly endorsing ethnic cleansing and anti-semitism and then remembered i spent a year seeing how interesting the entire world is and suddenly stopped caring

Again (and realizing this should really be a blog) I'm sympathetic and consider myself part of Dunkleman's project of making democratic governments responsive and functional. But you can't hand wave the accountability stuff. The argument can't be a "unitary exec theory - but for good!"

Lesson 6: If you have a theory of the Supreme Court that does not include political ideology, its going to be wrong. During the Biden administration it was all major questions because they did not like his policies, and during Trump it is mostly unitary executive, because they do.
