Danielle Smith is playing fast and loose with the future of the country. It seems like a long shot that Alberta would vote to leave, but who knows what happens once you start down this path. It’s a live-ammo outing now.
Utter insanity.
Utter insanity.

In the late 1970s, the corporate tax rate was the same or lower in Quebec than Ontario. But corporations and head offices were going the other way - from Montreal to Toronto.

I find “people don’t actually know how things work” has a lot of explanatory power.
I don’t mean this in a holier-than-thou way. I’m only vaguely aware of how my microwave or the car radio work. A lot of modern life is assuming the functioning of complex tech and models.

Article seems to argue:
1. Liberal “rules-based order” was a hypocritical mask for US hegemony
2. Trump will scrap the pretense of respect for rules, which is good because…
3. it could allow US, China, global south et al to arrive at “fair, common standards”

Opinion: The improvement Trump could make to U.S. foreign policy
Donald Trump's first term, with exits from the Iran nuclear deal and Paris climate agreement, hardly showed good global governance. But here's something he could get right.

disney gave a girl a lightsaber and now america is going to invade canada
What might explain this? A strong candidate is views about gender equality, which have changed just as dramatically as political orientation in recent years. Boys increasingly believe that "gender equality has gone too far".

As a government, a basically good agenda pursued timidly and ineptly if at all. As a man, arrogant, vindictive, pettily corrupt and mediocre to his core. His own time has actually been pretty kind to him, if only because Trump, the UK cons, and Poilievre are so much worse.
