Americans are like Hobbits.
You can learn all that there is to know about their ways in a month, and yet after a hundred years, they can still surprise you at a pinch.

Having a nuanced conversation on racism should not include space for excuses or justifications.
Racism is a choice, and the full responsibility of it falls on the person making the choice.

The most admirable aspect of the American protests is their unwavering clarity that there need to be, for a people to be free and equal, "no kings".

When the Komagata Maru arrived in Vancouver they were met with rejection because of who they were and where they came from.
What followed was one of the darkest chapters in our history.
We become better when we learn from the mistakes of the past & ensure we do not repeat them.

Prediction: India will expand on the practice of having an Opposition Chairman of the Committee on External Affairs, and Shashi Tharoor will become the first Opposition Minister of External Affairs.
This would be a step forward. Politics stops at the water's edge.

A functioning immigration system requires policy stability. A range of solutions from guest worker status to full citizenship can be the right answer, but that answer cannot change mid-flight or differ for each person as the result of a black box process.
Trust and transparency first.

This bears repeating. Housing supply, even if not designated "affordable", increases the affordability of housing through chain effects.

@canadiangreens.bsky.social are confronting the myth of the "wasted vote" head-on. This is refreshing and a much-needed dose of nuance.
A healthy democracy needs more than two choices. Green MPs are vital for holding the government accountable and making sure every voice is heard.
This election, vote for the future you want to see. Vote Green.

Once you vote early and enjoy the convenience of no line-ups, you will never want to stand and wait to vote again.
Get it done on a weekend for maximum convenience.

I have been a Canadian for almost the entirety of my adult life, and this is one of the better plan I have seen from any federal party. It's not perfect, but it's very, very good.

This is nothing. Canada could have printed thirty years' worth of white papers about trains in this time.
Workers in a small rural town in Arida, Japan, built a new 3D-printed train station overnight, in what the railway’s operators say is a world first. Here's how they did it in six hours. nyti.ms/4ju9Bvj

The S&P 500 fell 49% from its peak (P/E 44) in 2000, 57% in 2008 (P/E 27) and 34% in 2020 (P/E 23).
It's only 17% below its peak today with a P/E of 25. It has room to fall still at these valuations.

It is refreshing to see that we can still produce leaders with the intellectual, professional, and cosmopolitan mettle to advance Canadian interests in a complex and hostile world.
@mark-carney.bsky.social is the leader Canada needs, and, if you believe in this country, the leader Canada deserves.
