  • Mr. Carney is a brilliant man, and the channels of communication are more open between the two of us than they ever were with Mr. Trudeau. But there is a chasm between the way he sees Canada and the way I see Quebec. The idea he’s promoting—that there is one Canadian economy instead of 13—is not true. The Maritime economies are different from Western Canada’s, and theirs are both different from Quebec’s. It doesn’t mean we can’t negotiate together against Trump but, at the end of the day, uniformity won’t serve everybody. It’ll transform Canada’s regions into colonies at the service of Ontario and the West for oil, gas, cars and steel.

    This is what we need, governing should be both collaborative and adversarial.

    I like that he can both stand up for what’s best for Canada and still hold firm the important things for his home province.

    I thought he was great in the debates.



  • There are a few theories of invisibility and they depend on the mechanism of invisibility

    The first type of invisibility is all cells are transparent, sort of like a jellyfish. In this case the digestive system would be visible if you’d eaten food. Not ideal, visible poop.

    Second is light bending, like the predator. In this case poop would be visible and you wouldn’t be.

    Third is magic true invisibility, and in that case it depends on the wizard.

    Fourth is illusionary where the viewer is tricked into not seeing you, and in this case the poop is visible.









  • Billions of people vaccinated with MRNA technology, nobody grew extra arms or turned into The Thing, and by all (credible) accounts very little harm done, especially compared to having COVID.

    We finally have evidence of a vaccine for HIV/AIDS. One of the most notoriously difficult diseases to treat that we have.

    But “it could harm some people” is being weaponized by the willfully ignorant as a cudgel. If we pushed so no harm to its absolute we wouldn’t be able to do any medicine, it’s why for thousands of years we’ve had experts use their judgement to determine what would be worse for the patient.

    Realistically there were a few people whose heart conditions were affected, we did studies and it was a low amount. But that’s why we do studies, and that’s why doctors prescribe these things based on risk factors.
