An excellent summary of the Universal Ostrich Farm’s attempt to save its birds. The outbreak occurs after the flouting of infection control and regulations. A cull order is delayed for 10 months through a legal challenge and ends with the government doing its work.

In 2017, two developmental psychologists wrote to The New York Times arguing that comparing Trump to a child is unfair—to children. They asserted that most children show more honesty, empathy, and self-control than Trump.

The CPC's economic accounting methodology is basically ENRON's, with extra steps.
First impression of the CPC platform: they're booking a lot of projected future revenue from projected future economic growth.
The LPC platform explicitly did not do that. Neither did the CPC platform in 2021.

Poilievre's CPC are suppressing the press unless CPC1 can control who asks questions w/ no follow ups.
Anyone who thinks this will improve if elected is sadly mistaken.
