My wife says I should replace my toothbrush because it's old and gross. But why? We have a symbiotic relationship: I clean my teeth with the brush, and I clean the brush with my teeth. What's the problem?

I think I have figured out Musks's strategy. 1) deport labour, 2) re-domicile industry 3) sell autonomous robots to fill labour gap. My prediction: these robots will mostly suck, and have very little impact on labour shortages. Stagflation within a decade.

The US just declared economic war on Canada and Mexico. It will make these countries poorer, and there will be no measurable benefit to America. It's a negative sum move. Stable genius indeed.

Here is a bizarre headline from the National Post. How can a closer race benefit the party that previously had a huge lead? If the lead meant anything, then that was, by definition, the best situation, in spite of 'complacency'. Now that the lead has shrunk, they are worse off.

Excellent story from the Globe and Mail uncovering the (obvious) falsehood that Canada is a source of fentanyl to the US: www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Has the 'Great One' said a peep on the economic war his beloved president declared on his birthplace? Not so far. I hope Ovechkin breaks all your records you treasonous twit.

Low cognitive ability associated with high right-wing authoritarian orientation. It doesn't mean being right of center makes you dumb, but does suggest that there is a constituency on the right that is susceptible to misinformation.

When will a Canadian opinion writer write a column on how stupid Smith and Moe are for trying to deprive Canada of an important strategic option in a tariff war? Or how they are both scheming to ensure tariffs exclude oil and gas?

Prediction for the English language leaders debate in the upcoming Canadian Federal election: someone will ask Poilievre if he supports $ for $ tariffs. He will avoid answering the question, blame Trudeau, and promise that he will negotiate a better deal with the Americans.

Imposing 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico are treaty violations, and declarations of economic war. Between the jokes on late night and erudite editorials on the NYT and WaPo, it would be nice if more Americans acknowledged just how genuinely serious this is.
