Roberge’s sculpture is a strikingly apt expression of the human condition.

Because the last year was just jokes and f-ing around.

The populists would have us believe that we inhabit a world careening toward collapse. Unsurprisingly, they have it exactly wrong. We are not at the beginning of the end of western democracy; with the election of Carney’s majority government we are end of the beginning of Canada’s greatest era.

Here’s a troubling future contingency

This @dandrezner.bsky.social analysis is correct and it is difficult to imagine any action Trump can take in the next week that would change it, except some actions would have an immediate, immense human toll, military and civilian. Other actions (a “deal”?) will still impoverish and harm millions.

(6) drive up the value of oil shares.

This very well might provoke the US to economically punish Canada. Carney is being utterly pragmatic.

The fact of the matter is that Canada is profoundly economically vulnerable (and will be for at least 5 years). Carney is buying time. His remarks are a stopgap measure.

As to The PM’s unfortunate remarks supporting the attacks on Iran, it seems that Carney is just saying what he has to say to protect domestic Canadian economic interests. If he comes out not supporting the US —I.e., if he takes the properly moral position—he risks angering the US.

You (perhaps) adequately explain Israeli involvement. You do not explain US involvement. Why is there US involvement at this moment? Suggesting the war is escalated because it is war is a tautology with little explanatory value.

Trump will get richer, Gaza will become a resort, and the poor Palestinian people will either become slaves in their own territory or exiled to the global hinterland.

In some quite undisclosed conversation, an agreement was reached. The US degrades Iran profoundly, and Trump gets control of Gaza. Israel’s war with Iran will continue for years, the US will backstop it with arms and military support for Israel.

My hot take on Iran: this has nothing to do with a nuclear program, terrorism, or any of the stated US policy goals. It does have everything to do with Israel, and the fact that Netanyahu needs a state of constant war to maintain in political office.
