Article here. The gist of it is that writing styles are identifiable, and the more prolifically a person publishes stuff (on the web, presumably including comments), the more easily identifiable he is.

Yep. They'd need a supermajority (probably 70% plus) of residents, and they'd probably need to go through the same exercise the US did by enumerating their non-trivial grievances openly.

He has switched having to deal with opposition parties to secure a majority on any issue to having to deal with his LPC MPs to retain a majority on any issue. Dealing with opposition parties, he deals with one person for each: its leader. Dealing with LPC MPs, he has to suffer every one of...

The process highlights why negotiated separation is not really something anyone should waste much time worrying about. Separatists can't seek outside (foreign) assistance to get their projects rolling and there are multitudinous impediments GoC would insist on (cultural legacies, share of...

The NDP will take the issue over and demand dynamic pricing be used to increase prices for customers profiled as having higher incomes, and to decrease prices for those profiled as having lower incomes.

Oh, come on, it sounds like fun. It'll be like haggling in a third world bazaar.

If by "Canadians" he means "all Canadians", there'll have to be a lot less squeeze for aboriginal Canadians. An easy way for Canadians to share in profits is to buy stock.

"(on the basis that most people chose to attend a speech by a pedophile, rapist, and traitor, and are thus complicit)" Yeah, hard to figure out who was giving that speech.

To expand on my brief comment... A conventional sovereign wealth fund itself is basically an ordinary investor, using capital from particular sources of revenue* or, generally, from net surpluses. The capital is mostly untouched (not withdrawn); the RoI is reinvested or becomes another source...

Be interesting to find out if it's going to be properly a sovereign wealth fund, or just a kind of bank.

Budget deficits are a problem for future taxpayers in the upper quintile, and possibly anyone exposed to the return of surtaxes if debt servicing becomes a problem. For the most part, no-one else has to worry.

Seems rather arrogant himself. Everything is expressed as an extreme: no, not, no-one. A bit of concern trolling thrown in. Great monologing, though.

I have difficulty imagining that because pretty much all of these crimes involve someone who is at least a little off kilter. They don't present as very bright - at least not in the context of the crime - and they often have been telegraphing their descent on social media for some time. A...

It's good to take a light-hearted view. Across the line, Trump supporters are poring over and re-publishing every instance they can find of a Democratic politician or supporter or presumed-to-be-supporter who publicly advocated some kind of "resistance" or "you'll be sorry" or "any means...

The risk isn't people merely believing that government "by the other side" is against them. The risk is people who win government and manifestly use it to impose cultural dominance. IOW, it isn't paranoia if they're really out to get you. The cure is to limit the power of governments to do a...

Now, about having a ballroom on WH grounds behind the WH property line...

Traditional NDP constituency to NDP: "We own you." NDP: "Yes, you do."

I suppose standards depend on what you're used to. I was just really happy to move up from the bus driver suit to the duck hunting jacket, and from the old tri-service to the DEU. You young people...luxury.

Damn...I'd forgotten about applying indigenous ways of knowing to the transportation problems...

No need for "if..." Here: "It is estimated this will provide over $2.4 billion in total tax relief that will ease the pressure of high fuel prices on Canadians in 2026." (That is for a four-and-a-half month tax holiday.)
