It’s weird that liberals have become afraid of “the carceral state” that they’d let someone with an infectious disease (TB) and under multiple isolation orders just go free.
Would it be different if he had covid and wasn’t wearing a mask?

Everyone's letting them have it for this (and with good reason), but I do think it reflects a fairly widespread view in Canada — viz. that harsh criticism of public institutions amounts to an act of lèse-majesté.

CBA President Bianca Kratt, K.C., warns that recent media commentary questioning the impartiality of a sitting judge of the Ontario Superior Court risks undermining public confidence in the judiciary. 🔗 Read the full statement: bit.ly/4sQV4Pi

I’m sure that the Lina Khan Center For Lawyers Who Can't Math Good will be a boon to society.
Elizabeth Warren@ewarren
This is a big deal. Lina and Lev are inspiring the next generation of antitrust lawyers and economic policymakers.

If writing accurately about what the courts are doing risks undermining confidence in the judiciary, the problem just might be the judges, not the people who are reporting what the judges are doing ...

1. This is so vague & provides no names or links, that one cant actually see what the supposed criticism is and is left just having to take their word that its bad.
2. The idea that no one should ever critique those making decision affecting Canadians is deeply illiberal

Grant Tremblay@astrogrant
“I have two versions of outlook and neither of them are working” is actually a generational NASA quote now. Not quite One Small Step but every generation lives in a different world

The blue line misses Ottawa dumbass
Élie Cantin-Nantel@elie_mcn
There is a railway that is effectively a straight line from Toronto to Montreal. Shown in BLUE. Building high speed rail along it would make sense. Instead, the Liberals propose a boondoggle of a line, shown in RED, that goes through all these communities they need to win.

"Now is not the time for train-timid Toryism."
Who else on the right agrees?
The first from @ksm_wilson in @WDiminishment, writing a robust defense of high-speed rail between Toronto and Quebec City, urging Conservatives to uphold the legacy of Sir John A. Macdonald and the CPR.

I am center-left, but the idea that “we shouldn’t build anything on the Moon because it will offend some indigenous people” is my least favorite type of leftism.
The Walrus@thewalrus
The moon has long been a shared locus of imagination and significance for Indigenous peoples. With the return of lunar missions, it is now a frontier for industry. Writer Michelle Cyca explores the economic and colonial logics shaping this transformation. thewalrus.ca/with-the-artem…

This is why we need to bring more STEM education into the arts. So you don't end you with employed adults like this unable to understand the beauty of the world around them.

We went from protecting taxis from Uber to protecting Uber from Waymo. The irony of yesterday's disruptors becoming protectionists is very public choice coded.
Andy Masley@AndyMasley
More and more politicians are suggesting that Waymo and AVs more broadly should be legalized only after studies can show that they won't impact ride share jobs. This is a reasonable-sounding rule that would also ban buses, bike lanes, and car ownership in general.

Honestly at this point they should just go back to the general store format (you ask for your items at the counter).
Phil Magness@PhilWMagness
In less than a decade, we've gone from self-checkout being the main way to buy stuff at CVS to almost every item requiring a staff attendant to open an anti-shoplifting cage just to retrieve it from the shelf.

Because Lewis has spent the past 10 years dumping on the economies of Alberta and Saskatchewan that the provincial NDP supports.
Buy I wouldn’t expect someone from the otter side of the country to understand.
The Koopa Guy 🍁🦫@TheKoopaGuy
A day later and I'm still trying to figure out why the Alberta and Saskatchewan NDP decided to dump on Lewis as leader. I understand intra-party beef is a thing but surely keeping it under wraps so as to not make the party look dysfunctional was the play?
