Oh right also ICYMI Modi had a government agent monitoring Singh and it was very likely there was an assassination plot against him

I was reading through some of this earlier today, and looks like he's written quite a lot on pre-fab housing. Might be a place to start! www.construction-physics.com/p/50-things-...

Doug Ford when asked if Lutnick will back off steel/alum tariffs: "He has to bounce it off the president, but I'm pretty confident he will pull back. I'm not speaking for them. I'm not speaking for the president." Adds Canada will respond dollar-for-dollar if new tariffs go in.

Ford said Canadian Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc will also be in the meeting with Lutnick tomorrow in Washington. (I haven't immediately confirmed this with LeBlanc's office)

The threats to the auto industry make the least amount of sense. Tariffs will bring the auto industry to a screeching halt. Which is why I think Trump will eventually carve out an exception for cars, alongside oil and potash.

Not really. Europe, Asia and South America all have large, competitive domestic steel industries. We also import a lot of steel from the US, so theoretically we could replace some of that production domestically. But only if those companies stay solvent.

But the industry is concentrated in specific cities. Hamilton and Sault Ste. Marie would be devastated. Ontario will obviously survive, but the damage will be immense and long-lasting.

Hopefully this doesn’t escalate. But if it does, there are so many @ubyssey.ca alumni like myself who will go to bat for them against this garbage.

I also spoke about Canadian drug policy's shift right on CBC's Front Burner podcast, including some of the misconceptions that have led people to feel fed up with progressive ideas: www.cbc.ca/listen/cbc-p...

and for @filtermag.bsky.social, here's more on Alberta's forced abstinence plan—a breach of civil rights that can also greatly increase the chance of overdose. Indigenous people are already vastly overrepresented in Alberta's drug deaths. featuring @drugdatadecoded.ca: filtermag.org/alberta-forc...

In the second half, there was some cursory talk about partnering with Indigenous peoples on resource projects and on the Trudeau government’s focus on more procurement from Indigenous-owned businesses. But it didn’t go very deep at all.
