It's a lot easier for everyone involved to beat on the panic-du-jour which is conveniently not their fault, rather than looking in their own wheelhouse to fix their own failings.
I'm disappointed that the press are going along with politicians and policing services on this one.
I tend to agree with you. He said:
“One can never categorically rule out participation,” he said.
“We will stand by our allies, when it makes sense. There’s a distinction between the offensive actions that were taken and are being taken by the United States and Israel, that were taken by them without consultation with Canada, with other allies, and we’re not party to those actions.
“But we will always defend Canadians, we will always stand by and defend our allies when called upon.”
The right answer would be to make like a Conservative and not answer. He can't piss off Trump, but he knows Canadians (outside of a few communities) aren't into this shit. Saying maaaaaaybe walks back most of his appeal from Davos.
Carney is not a great politician. He doesn't know when to shut up (hence his statement of support for the war in India). So far he's lucked into the right moment. I'm not sure what the next few years will bring.
Yes, but:
In the documents, the redacted interlocutor asks Epstein: “did you meet the Irvings?”
Epstein replies “No,” with the unnamed person then writing back that they’re not planning to work for “the crazy Irvings.”
A spokesperson for Irving, who now heads a health-care technology company, told Brunswick News on Monday the former oil exec never had contact with Epstein.
It's probably more a question of power and reach. Epstein saw nothing to gain by getting Canadians into his debt.
In jars, you say? The writers were ahead of their time.
There has been far more ink spilled about a shitty private company being shitty than our own justice system returning guns to a household dealing with mental illness.
The critiques of OpenAI are reasonable, but we need to hold our public safety officials to a higher standard.

CBC is supposed to tell Canadian stories. In an environment where everyone can make media, they should make room for Canadians to tell stories: stop including ads in their podcasts and online news platforms. Leave those ad dollars for new Canadian news outlets and podcasters.
After his Davos speech, I expected a bit better. Instead, he decided to put the sign in the window:
“Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security.”
Carney had prefaced that endorsement with a description of Iran as “the principal source of instability and terror throughout the Middle East, [with] the world’s worst human rights records.” He added: “[Iran] must never be allowed to obtain or develop nuclear weapons.”
If Carney were a better politician, he would have said "I don't have a position yet - we don't know the specifics of what is happening."
putting today's unaffordability issues at the feet of the workers
It specifically calls out Canadian companies failure to invest in improving productivity.
Workers should get a higher share of profits. But companies need to make investments so they'll make more profits. Our tax laws and culture don't reward that.
That's clearly a sheep.
