This is worthy and important read. Thanks to Michener Foundation for making it possible for Justin Ling to travel during the election. Important to read Carney’s responses that take us beyond the sound bite lines we had from him via media coverage. Equally important to wrap our minds around the Applebaum takes on autocracy and “hybrid” regime. The comparison to Hungary is very apropos. The question is whether we have to be “takers” of what is meted out by the US regime, or whether we can “shape” a response that keeps democratic decay at bay for Canada. Well done Justin!
This is an extremely important topic all Canadians should be aware of. One issue you haven't yet mentioned in this slide to autocracy is the influence of the IDU, chaired by Stephen Harper and subscribed to by PP. Harper has endorsed both Orban and Trump. I suspect there is more influence (in the shadows) for this autocratic slide, especially in the US - influencing Canada.
Carney's Crisis was promoted for Liberal political gain.
Until 1987, Canada did not have a free trade deal with the U.S.. Canada survived. Consumer durables were manufactured right here in Canada. We can do it again. Yes, there will be a period of adjustment where jobs change, just as happened after 1987. Our production will more align with our consumption.
To all those under age 40, THE SKY IS NOT FALLING.
Not o put too find a point on it, I want to receive your missives like I receive the National Post and the Financial Post: together. Shows you how much of a dinosaur I am, eh?
As a paying subscriber, everything *should* be arriving in your inbox seamlessly. But splitting stuff into this new section was a bit of an experiment — I may do some things differently if I try it again. The tech is also a little wonky, so it's not just on your end.
Going forward, though, everything should come through Bug-eyed and Shameless, per usual.
I do not discount the possibility that I have not mastered the tricky ways my computer software tries to preselect or block information streams; so, as I say, it is best to make it easy for those who are prepared to pay for it.
Just make sure on a go forward basis that the technologically challenged folks who value and PAY FOR your views, get them automatically, and they do not have to search somewhere else, or locate them via some non-obvious link.

The crisis is about democracy not ‘consumer durables’. Reading the article before you post is always a good idea.
