This is an idea I contemplate often, especially in the Canadian context.
What concerns me is how little long-horizon civilizational thinking exists in this country. What do we want to become 100 years from now? 500 years from now? Long after our own lifetimes have passed? How often do we even hear the phrase "22nd century" spoken with seriousness?
Instead, we optimize for timid managerialism within four-year election cycles, forgetting that we are supposed to be building a civilization here, not administering a Franco-British imperial inheritance indefinitely.
A serious people thinks not only about quarterly growth figures or the next election, but about what kind of civilization their descendants will inherit centuries from now.
Canada rarely thinks that way at all.

Foundations are always poured ahead of the structures going up. If we ain't putting things in place for the 22nd century then call that a sandy situation.

The same Russian network we identify in our report about foreign influence in the Alberta separatism issue: disinfowatch.org/foreign-interf…
EUvsDisinfo@EUvsDisinfo
The GRU-linked network known as Storm-1516 continues spreading fake reports falsely attributed to reputable Western media outlets. One recent operation claimed a stolen Paul Cézanne painting was seen in Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s office. Though obviously absurd, this kind of Russian FIMI operation is designed to frame Ukraine’s leadership as corrupt and indulging in luxury during wartime.

Piers Morgan asked if we are heading for a global recession. I said we are heading for a global depression.
What followed was one of the more honest conversations I have had on television in a long time.
Three economists. Three very different worldviews. And one question nobody in power seems willing to answer seriously.
The physical infrastructure of the global economy is being destroyed in real time. The financial markets have not caught up yet. When they do, the overreaction will be severe.
The clip is short. The implications are not.
Full debate link in comments.

@SpencerFernando Global phenomena. Requires global coordination. No human organization can implement laws and policies without the backing of a military and police force. That was a half hearted self-interested US, to a certain extent, but even that no longer exists.

The government-knows-best approach – particularly as it relates to climate policy and government overreach – has not worked well for Canada. In key ways, Prime Minister Carney has recognized this, with the cancellation of the consumer carbon tax, the reversal of the capital gains tax hike, the Canada-Alberta MOU, an openness to privatizing government-controlled assets, support for free trade, and pending regulatory changes that could speed up approval for pipelines and resource projects. These are real steps in the right direction, and Carney should build on those moves towards a more rational economic policy, rather than holding on to the heavy-handed, climate-obsessed approach that has left Canada poorer than we should be.

“The only democratic solution to this is that what happens to Canada is decided by all Canadians. Not by a group within it.
Or if I can really boil it down: You absolutely have a right to leave this country. It’s a free country. You have a right to leave Canada. You do not have a right to take a piece of it with you.” Well said @acoyne! 🇨🇦 Quote by: Andrew Coyne Canadian columnist.

Last week, I wrote about government plans to provide millions in tax credits for news operations of giants like Bell and Rogers. Now Culture Minister @MarcMillerVM says “it’s not a question of if, but how” and put a potential price tag on it. $6 BILLION?! x.com/mgeist/status/…

“A person afflicted with nationalism believes that his own country is the most civilised and humane country in the world while its enemies are guilty of every imaginable atrocity and vileness. Since they are so vile and atrocious, while we are so civilised and humane, there is no degree of vileness and atrocity which we may not legitimately practise towards them. This is the underlying creed of nationalism.”
― Bertrand Russell

🚨 Danielle Smith flew solo to Mar-a-Lago. Refused to sign the joint tariff statement. Cut the referendum threshold in half. Said nothing while Trump officials met Alberta separatists three times inside a classified US facility. Defunded Elections Alberta before any of it began.
Then 2.9 million Albertans had their data stolen. Her staff were in the room.
This is not incompetence. This is a plan.#abpoli #cdnpoli #CenturionProject #DanielleSmith

WTF? Trumps going after Canadians who criticize him now? What a weak man. In Feb the US Dept of Homeland Security ordered Google to hand over personal data on an unidentified Canadian including address, location history, banking and credit card info

Legacy media is afraid to touch this story about their buddy Michael Wolff. So I brought receipts.

I spent 6 months researching Michael Wolff's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, including 1,830 pages of emails in the Epstein Files. I never expected what I found. #EpsteinFiles api.omarshehata.me/substack-proxy…
