@CTHW Hmm, yeah, she might be one GG who would actually have the confidence to stand up to a PM in defence of the constitution.But now you've got me imagining an alternate reality where it was PM Louise Arbour, defender of human rights, appointing internationally-respected former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney as Governor General. That'd be nice, although I can't imagine a situation that would have ever get her into partisan politics, so here we are: the people I'd want making big decisions are at best getting appointed positions.I do wonder at the woman who get bored with being a Supreme Court Justice accepting a position that is all ceremonies & diplomacy & little direct impact. But it's only a 5-year term & she's a couple decades older than when she left the court.

@Pepijn I have been in the Houses of Parlement, London, twice. House of Lords. I have been outside Berlin, but at that time the gov was in Bonn. I have been outside De Binnenhof, The Hague, as a child, same trip Madurodam.

@jwcph @pluralistic You speak wisely

@WarnerCrocker good thing that 60 day counter reset!

A political movement that seeks to enshrine religious law as civil law, controls women's bodies, persecutes sexual minorities, merges religious authority with state power while branding dissenters enemies of the nation. Most Americans reading that will picture a country that is not their own. Every feature described is a documented position of the Republican Party. https://readuncut.com/the-american-taliban/ #AmericanTaliban #Christianity #Politics #Theocracy

@ChrisMayLA6 Just been trained on the BBC.

@wanwizard @ChrisMayLA6 I sat on my employer's pension committee for 18 years, and I agree. DB pensions, whether state-run or private, are truly pensions. DC "pensions" are not. As you say, they are tax-advantaged savings schemes. Same for personal retirement saving schemes. (In Canada we call them Registered Retirement Saving Plans or RRSPs for short.) But the downside is that they are costly and carry considerable risk and uncertainty for the employee. And they are lucrative for the financial services industry. Plus, as I have said elsewhere recently, they presume a level of financial sophistication that most workers simply don't have.

Republican Rep. Roy says they are driving the country into bankruptcy and the government is spying on the people #politics #news #Congress

@holdenweb @ChrisMayLA6 @BrianSmith950 For me this seems to be the death throws, like so many apparent tragedies, of the outdated systems of domination and colonialism. Alternatives are available but people are more afraid of those unknowns, not to mention the lifestyle changes which will need to be made. We, what 'we' is a whole other question, cannot continue with this insanity of inequity & downright cruelty and continued decline into barbarity.To say we have some difficult decisions is an understatement.

@ZenHeathen @MikeImBack 26 that we won't actually receive as they'll keep delaying the order but the contract will require us to keep making payments... and even if we do receive them we have to buy their 6 figure ammunition (per shot) from the US.This just keeps us bound to the US and does nothing to enhance our sovereignty. We would be better off funding building our own development crown corporation and developing an equivalent system; maybe in partnership with other nations who want to divest from the US on the basis of every partner getting all the specs to build them domestically

@JaredRutecki any demonstrations at haymarket square site?

@Edent I'm a little surprised to find out that they have open source repositories given how opaque the organisation generally is to the public.

@lordmatt True, and there's likely much of that in play. Managers also don't like risk, or damage to their reputations, so they often want to keep negative news out of the press. Even when disclosure leads to better long term outcomes.
