I'm seeing a lot more "Yes, boycott us, make us hurt" the last couple of days than before, so maybe some USians are taking responsibility now.

So I'm a GenXer who grew up in the 70s and 80s with the constant threat of nuclear war. As a teenager I attended peace protests and anti-nuclear protests. I'm a little dismayed that I'm now at the place where I'm thinking "so what would it take to make a little dirty bomb." I hate this.

If you're wondering about the vibe in Canada right now, I just got served this ad for a brewhouse that is just a portrait of the White House being burned down. No text, just a bigass picture of the White House burning and a link directly to their menu lolol

Easy to lose this in the noise of the day, but the prime minister of Canada just said the US president, leader of the global hegemon, wants to soften us up economically so he can annex us. That is one of the most remarkable statements, and realities, in our history.

This is genuinely all there is to it. Somebody over dinner told him about the 1890s and he got the idea that government could be funded by duties rather than income tax. He wouldn’t listen to those who’d tell him otherwise — ie anyone who knows anything—and found excuses to do it

Teams and Outlook are down at work, and I can't access Sharepoint, so I guess that means I really do need to work on that article.

So I'm doing a thing! It's amazing to me what writing one article in @theconversationca.bsky.social in Feb. 2022 has led to. (And I'm just a biblical scholar, not an expert in Christian Nationalism, but here we are - public scholarship is needed in many areas, and sometimes we just have to step up.)

I really wish Americans would stop treating the continued existence of Canada as the sort of thing they can do amusing thought experiments about.

It’s a protection racket. It’s also the same extortion scheme the US has said it’s going to run on Canada: give us your minerals, or else. Forewarned is forearmed.

If you've ever used the Polity data, read this from Monty Marshall. tl;dr Polity is coding recent US events as an executive self-coup and an adverse regime change.
