Moving the Goalposts: Danielle Smith’s Referendum Narrative Starts to Collapse Under Its Own… There’s a point in politics where delay stops looking like diligence and starts looking like design. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith may…

Nailed it!
“When a Premier claims that delays are caused by a proponent’s inconsistency — and that proponent can demonstrably show otherwise — it doesn’t just undermine the specific argument. It erodes trust in the entire process.”

Mark Carney would likely keep his majority if an election was held now, polls suggest Prime Minister Mark Carney would likely keep — and possibly enlarge — his new-found Liberal majority if a general election was held today, according to the latest projection from The

Polls peg the Liberals’ chances of winning a majority of seats in the House of Commons at 96 per cent, while the Conservatives under Pierre Poilievre have a one per cent chance of securing power, and only as a minority government.

This is insane. Trump & Netanyahu regimes are bad faith actors. There is no trusting either with serious negotiations. Clowns are sent to “negotiate” while a completely unfit war criminal imbecile ( #PeteHegseth) fires top generals & calls the shots. Global catastrophe looms nearer. #IranWar #Iran

Two bankruptcies, six jobs before ICE hired him Among the new hires is Carmine Gurliacci, 46, who resigned as a police officer in Richmond Hill, Georgia, to join ICE in Atlanta in December, according to a resignation letter obtained by AP. He filed for bankruptcy in 2022, saying he had no income and had been unemployed for two years after moving from New York to Georgia, court filings show. He said he was living with a friend and doing chores in exchange for housing, listing tens of thousands of dollars of unpaid loans, bills, child support and other debts. He also had filed for bankruptcy in 2013 in New York, when he listed $95,000 in liabilities, records show.

Really good reporting from AP. They took 40 people who had listed their new ICE job on LinkedIn, then looked for red flags.

A diagram showing the VDA framework and the Arc of Democracy. At the top, three icons label the essential elements of democracy: Verification (tick), Deliberation (speech bubble), and Accountability (magnifying glass). Arrows descend from each through three horizontal bands representing the arc: Substantial (truth tested, voices included, power constrained), Performative (forms remain but substance is weak, rituals without consequence), and Simulated (appearance maintained but functions inverted: propaganda as verification, polarisation as deliberation, scapegoating as accountability). A vertical arrow on the left marks the arc's direction: improvements, decline, collapse. A column on the right maps counterpublics onto the same three states: functional counterpublics act in a substantial way, hollow counterpublics in a performative way, disordered counterpublics in a simulated way. The bands shift from grey through pink to red as democracy moves toward simulation.

A society that runs on this stack doesn't stop holding elections, or debating, or running investigations. The forms stay, but what goes is their capacity to constrain power. The arc bends toward simulation, carried out in the language of defending democracy.

It's also worth being clear about who's doing the arguing. Palantir sells operational software to defence, intelligence, immigration & police agencies. These 22 points aren't philosophy floating in space, they're the public ideology of a company whose revenue depends on the politics it's advocating.

Healthy accountability is triggered by evidence, points upward at power, and happens in public. Disordered accountability protects insiders and aims its punishment outward. What the document does is argue for the second while calling it the first.

Nuns who broke back into their Austrian convent ‘are step closer to being able to stay’ Plan for three nuns who escaped from care home last year to go to Rome thought to be positive sign of Vatican’s decision

Three Austrian nuns in their 80s were sent to a nursing home against their will.

So they escaped, hired a locksmith, and broke back into their own convent.

The Vatican just invited them to Rome, and they may even meet w/the Pope to discuss them being able to stay in their home.

Parents of the 168 children murdered by the US government have written to Pope Leo. They wrote of their children and their deep grief.

Gas prices to rise 9 cents on Saturday, says affordable energy president Dan McTeague, president of Canadians for Affordable Energy, says fuel is expected to rise on Saturday.
