I just want to take a moment to enjoy that the Canada Post thing is one of our country’s big political conversations. There’s a problem, and people have different solutions. Some of the solutions rely on false information or bad reasoning. Some of them are well-reasoned, but have different priorities to each other. The government will have to make a decision, and some will praise it, and some will criticize it, and it will make some peoples’ lives better, and some peoples’ lives worse.

But nobody’s using the Canada Post situation as a vehicle to hurt people they hate. People don’t seem to be moving in lockstep based on ideology and propaganda. Nobody’s been called a fascist over it because nobody’s been being a fascist over it. This is what politics should be like. It’s refreshing.

Headlines often change after publication. Everyone’s A/B testing these days.

You might disagree with the argument, but it’s not completely random. From the US, we gained most of the benefits of having nukes and spooks, without having to maintain them ourselves. Since we can’t trust them, we now have to decide if it’s worth developing our own.
