They face huge risks, especially during economic crises, when dictators choose to financially extort or #purge their business allies. And yet, despite their power to disrupt, business elites rarely switch sides.

Looking forward to the new one.
Why is this man, who clearly has no sense of remorse for acting in a way that endangers fellow citizens, being given a sympathetic ear instead of being jailed?

An ancient photograph shows four fresh-faced teens seated at a table as they pose for the camera. They don't believe time will come for them, but it will. HARD. One child pretends to be asleep as he flips off the camera. He is not as cool as he thinks he is.

2) As you'd probably guess, I'm a bit more skeptical about the larger impact on Canadian attitudes. Last fall we saw the first uptick in a while in anti-refugee sentiment, coupled with a much bigger uptick in anti-immigration sentiment. www.environicsinstitute.org/docs/default...

1) I like the population decline point. I think you imply the equivalent in a few places but to make it explicit - church groups can use it to offset attendance declines.

Yeah, @mattpolacko.bsky.social and I have been puttering around something about accountability and provincial politics. Not there yet, but we should have something this fall. A good measure of provincial political knowledge would be great.
