Carney is asking Canadians to accept foreign institutional ties while calling the result sovereignty. He does this by replacing the argument that would justify the trade with a history that makes the trade feel like the continuation of a story.

@rupasubramanya @MarkJCarney The Buchenwald oak and the Vimy acorns are what makes the speech legible as the recovery of something old rather than the acceptance of something new. The point of the sentiment is to make the policy unaskable as a question.

I look forward to an evening of laughter

My mother was born in Somerset, as was her mother. My mother's father was born in Queensferry in Wales to parents from Newcastle. My mother and her parents moved to Canada in the 1950s. That is where she met my father. My father's mother’s side were Scots who arrived in the mid 1700s; his father’s side were Irish who arrived in the late 1600s. I was born in Canada. What does all of this make me in the eyes of immigration debates? A mutt.

@oldcanadaseries That's a peculiar land acknowledgement.

just watched the original ghostbusters for the first time, scattered thoughts

- 1984 in NYC, no asians or latinos, handful of black characters, some background hasidic jews

- i continue to wonder if characters make more eye contact in older movies, there's a bunch of subtle-for-2026 eye contact stuff going on that i feel like just used to be normal and has mostly disappeared?

- bill murray's character is weirder than i expected, felt like he was possibly ad libbing in a few places? does some stuff that would be somewhere between sexual harassment and sexual assault now which is interesting

- don't see slime like this anymore. there was a period where pop culture was obsessed with slime that just totally disappeared like it never happened

- sigourney weaver is amazingly charming, does a lot with just a few smiles, but also her character is super passive and pretty much just a trophy, i guess it makes sense why people rebelled so hard against this sort of thing

- feels like guys like dan aykroyd don't exist anymore. don't think we know how to make guys like that anymore. i hope that's not true but 42 years is a long time for culture to shift

- there's a moment where they casually quote revelations and suggest that the climax of the movie is judgment day and another moment where a bishop or something casually swings by to advise the mayor. there is this like casual background air of christianity that i'm not sure exists anymore

- how did i not know that one of the lines of the ghostbusters theme is "bustin' makes me feel good"???

We Hindus are indeed pagans (if you mean religions outside the Judeo Christian tradition), and proudly so. Our Vedic tradition stretches back at least to the second millennium BCE, making Hinduism one of the world's oldest religions.

Hinduism survived centuries of invasions, Islamic conquest and, in Goa, the Inquisition, when Hindus were killed for being Hindus. Yet Hinduism didn't merely survive, it flourished through it all.

Like Judaism, Hinduism is not a proselytizing faith. It does not depend on converting the world in order to justify its existence. We believe that there are multiple paths to the truth. Hinduism doesn't denigrate someone following a different path because it sees the sacred in everything.

A civilization that has survived for millennia while accommodating an extraordinary diversity of gods, philosophies and ways of worship should not be regarded as a threat to the West. If anything, it's an asset to the defence of Western Civilization. Hinduism in my view can remind the West of things that it risks losing: the importance of pluralism, tolerance, and of the fact that religion is perfectly compatible with rationality and science.

Yes, my friends, it is that time of year: the leaves begin to change colors, the temperature cools, and the time-honored tradition of rooting for your favorite chonky bears at Katmai National Park & Preserve begins.

The trade imbroglio with the United States is escalating and ramifying in ways that are potentially dangerous. The Carney government refuses to release the final offer or produce the conclusive evidence that would settle whether the prime minister was reacting to provocative American attempts to change the deal at the last minute. As long as that doubt exists, it is going to be difficult to conduct the war that Mr. Carney has instigated. Juvenile acts such as booing and shouting down the American national anthem are stirring up unprecedented hostility toward Canada in a country of 350 million people with a GDP of US$32 trillion.

There has never been one word of justification for breaking off negotiations that still offered this country unequalled access to by far the greatest and most swiftly growing market in the world. Of course we must pursue our national interest, but with this uneven correlation of forces it is poor tactics to escalate the disagreement. Mr. Carney seems to take himself for the global David firing his slingshot at the orange-tufted Goliath, overtly trying to hurt Trump in the midterm elections while bandying recondite asides about the ancient Greeks. This is not Finland resisting Russia in 1940; it is more like Romania declaring war on Germany in 1915.

Canada is completely dependent on the United States for almost 70 percent of its exports and for its military security. Leaping into the arms of the Chinese who conducted a form of genocide on the Uighurs, meddled in Canadian elections, and proudly continue the legacy of Mao Tse-tung is not an acceptable answer. Nor is continuing the helter-skelter policies that have put terrible pressure on housing costs, produced a fertility rate of 1.25, and made us the suicide capital of the world. If our cause is righteous, this could be a chance for Canada to demonstrate moral strength and a mature nationality. Self-impoverishment and primal-scream therapy will not achieve it.
