Anaximander's Elbows Up Tardigrade Brigade 🍁🇨🇦🇺🇦🇬🇱
I believe in humanity. Skeptical about humans.
liberal democracy is the best humanist system of government so far devised.
I am centrist because I eschew ideology in favour evidence-based decision making. #factsmatter

- As they say, history may not repeat itself, but it often rhymes. I stumbled upon John Denver in the Mitchell Trio's 1966 recording of "Your Friendly Liberal Neighborhood Ku Klux Klan." It speaks to so many things happening today that it gives me new respect for John Denver.
- There's zero chance that Trump will ever accept anything other than a GOP win. He can't, if MAGA loses control, Trump goes to jail. America is no longer a functioning democracy.

- This is exactly it. We have terrible "expert" commenters on the air because they answer the phone and are always available. It's why the so-called "Canadian Taxpayers Federation" can continue their astroturf grift, or why "Democracy Watch" keeps making itself look credible (when he's really not).
- Here is my latest. Sylvain Charlebois, Canada's beloved commentator on the food industry, thinks that not giving us access to raw milk is communism. noraloreto.substack.com/p/canadas-fo...

- Layoffs just hit their highest start-of-year total since January 2009 — the height of the Great Recession — according to data tracking firm Challenger. Meanwhile, CEO pay and corporate profits continue to hit record highs. Does anyone still believe that trickle-down tax cuts create jobs?
- "ICE has offices in 5 Canadian cities" No, not really. They are HSI offices, not ICE. #factsmatter #cdnpoli
- As I responded, back in 2015, to a loud mouthed American who was banging on about George Soros' using dollars to influence American politics, "America needs to just get big money out of politics". Entirely feasible, no. It's a process not an end-state. #uspoli
- The $305 million raised by the main super PAC supporting President Trump comes almost entirely from megadonors: 96% of its funds are from donors giving $1 million or more. bit.ly/4t8PBDU
- One of the fundamental problems with traditional economics is that the models (generally) ignored the economic impacts of production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services on the environment and people. #economics
- One of the reasons that I oppose nuclear fission power generation: (tbc: nothing has changed in 3 years) #climatechange #greentransistion
- William Nordhaus received the Nobel Memorial Prize for these flawed economic models, and Bjorn Lomborg built a highly lucrative career on them. They told rich and powerful people what they wanted to hear. While helping to consign us all to catastrophe. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

- NEW: A public servant got a bizarre voicemail after complaining about Ontario’s return to work policy The voice was unmistakable: Doug Ford Ford shared advice passed down from his mom: “You don’t like it, go get another job” And then he hung up From @emmaarkell.bsky.social and @ericwickham.ca 👇
- A public servant texted Doug Ford's number to express concern with his government's return-to-office mandate. They received a voicemail suggesting they "go get another job." pressprogress.ca/public-serva...

- This, 👇🏽👇🏿, is how you react to possible pedophile pornography, @evansolomon.bsky.social and @mark-carney.bsky.social. If you actually care about protecting children more than protecting tech billionaires. #cdnpoli
- It's also white nationalism. Self-imposed rage against the delusional theory of "white replacement" by forcing women to have more babies.

- I've been making jokes recently about #theMadKing 's plan to build a stadium for the WWE. Which resulted in a few blocks. With all that's been going on in the USA, making fun of Trump's feigned support for faux wrestling is going too far?! The world has truly turned upside down and inside out.

- Also, this is just an other invented grievance, which conservatives in Alberta love to do, and then claim that they are being oppressed because they're not getting something that nobody gets in the first place. Call it out, as just that.
- Truth is, #theMadKing is not a diplomat. Not a world leader. Not a national leader. Trump is simply an extortionist. #USADarkAge #uspoli

- Here’s a top CDC official claiming that the U.S. losing its measles elimination status would be “the cost of doing business.” We are governed by the dumbest people.
