A Canadian member of parliament called Nelson Mandela a terrorist on the floor of parliament.
The "harm reduction we just have to get him elected and then we'll push him left" blue maga president everyone.
Weird, I could have sworn there was an extra 4GW of climate neutral generation capacity around last winter. Strange that these horribly toxic coal plants need to get fired up just for 2GW. Where did those 4GW go I wonder...
What I got out of this was learning that there was a "Nazis in Canada" investigation (Deschênes Commission) in the 1980s which came up with specific names, and those names have not been declassified to this day. The commission also decided the Galician wasn't responsible for war crimes, even though other nations had already found the SS as a whole guilty in previous decades.
Yet most of the criticism detailed on the Wikipedia page is from Nazi apologists who seem to think that the KGB was making some immigrants in Canada look like Nazis when they supposedly weren't.
Fiction: In the Name of the People by Zhou Meisen. It's a really fun political thriller detailing the case of a corrupt cadre in a Chinese city. It was made into a TV/streaming series in the last two years and was apparently very popular in China.
Non-fiction: American Exception by Aaron Good. It's surprisingly readable for what is essentially a PhD thesis, and very interesting both in terms of history and what it means for the present and future.
I don't have any books that I'm necessarily hesitant to start, I just have such a long reading list it's hard to prioritize.
Politico's corporate owner Springer likely got seed money from the CIA, in exchange for an uncompromising pro-US perspective.
