Foreign nationals (and some Gazans) were finally allowed to leave Gaza today (CBC)

A leaked plan suggests that ACTUALLY, Israel would be fine if everyone left Gaza, willingly or otherwise.  They can go to Egypt or whatever country is accepting refugees at the moment. (CBC)

Stephen Miller and John McEntee are hard at work on the TFG 2024 transition team, identifying lawyers that will be more compliant with couping, norm shredding, and outright illegal and unconstitutional behavior (Vanity Fair)

If you live somewhere where anti-trans legislation was passed, chances are Toronto psychologist James Cantor was involved.  He hasn't had the same impact here in Canada as Jordan Peterson but was recently granted standing as an expert witness for a nurse in BC facing a disciplinary hearing for making transphobic comments while representing herself as a nurse. (CBC)

It should come as no surprise that the right will champion experimental, unproven technologies that may help the environment while largely preserving the status quo of oil and gas extraction, but take a much starker black and white approach to the cost/benefits of renewables and electrification. (CBC)

Bonus Content: Meet the rooftop solar contractor that got into an argument with Alberta premier Danielle Smith after she was rudely informed by a room of experts that Alberta would have no issues electrifying to net-zero by 2035. 

Imagine the uproar if state or local government officials removed the US flag from press conferences.  That is what is currently happening in Saskatchewan, where the Canadian flag has been absent from the provincial press room for almost a year. (CBC)

Political discussion welcome.
