Q: Was Howard Lutnick's involvement in the last days an impediment to getting a deal?
Carney: It's a question for the US administration. But I will say this, the Canadian team, unified, everyone knows what our objectives are. You cannot say that about the US administration.
Q: Why does it feel like today Mark Carney is going to war? Trade war.
Carney: Because we were attacked. You're at war when you get attacked. We got attacked. That's fine. We've got the reserves. We've got the resilience. We've got the plan. We've got the focus. We will respond.
Mark Ruffalo links Paramount to Oracle’s ties to the Israeli military
“They are crushing workers and consolidating the wealth of the world for their own power and concentrated dominance.”
Ruffalo criticized Larry and David Ellison while opposing Paramount’s Warner Bros. deal, arguing that Oracle’s role in Israel’s war effort should be part of the conversation around the merger.
Paramount called his remarks “antisemitic” and “a bridge too far.”
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
Here is the problem with mark carney. Is he incredibly fiscally conservative and selling out our public sector. Yes. But holy when he goes band for band with the states I cant help but lib out. Very dangerous.
BREAKING: Canadian PM Mark Carney suspends all trade negotiations with the U.S. after “unfair, uneconomic” last-minute changes to the deal.
At midnight the U.S. will implement a 50% tariff on ~$28 billion of Canadian goods, and now, Canada will match it dollar-for-dollar.
“We will not allow any nation to determine our future.”
I love how he talks about it as if it were some kind of natural disaster that befell them through no fault of their own and couldn't possibly have been avoided.
Huge difference between what's happening now than in 2008.
In 2008, people were losing their jobs, that's why they were missing payments.
We fully employed now and people are missing payments.
This is going to be far worse.
ELI5: Moderna made a cancer vaccine that is custom for every person.
Doctors read the DNA of your tumor, find what makes it unique, then make an mRNA shot that teaches your immune system, “Attack cells that look like this.”
They combine it with Keytruda, a drug that helps stop cancer from hiding from your immune system.
It just succeeded in a Phase 3 melanoma trial.
Not a cure for all cancer. But a pretty huge idea if it works for other cancers too.
Its crazy how MAGA turned the most progressive sports league in the world into this garbage. Now WNBA teams are apologizing for defending their transgender fans and pandering to losers who don’t even like the sport. Trans rights matter more than MAGA chuds wants 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
He did. We as a society have just decided that Watergate-level scandals no longer require any sort of accountability when the people caught up in them are rich enough.
