The Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston said the request came directly from the negotiations and was conditional on a final deal, which is a defensible way forward

Bernie’s position isn’t that people should be forbidden from owning multiple homes or that anyone who has money must give most of it away. His argument is about the rules of the system. Higher taxes on the wealthy, stronger wages, worker protections and making basics like healthcare and housing more accessible. “Why doesn’t he sell two houses and feed the homeless?” confuses charity with policy. He could sell them tomorrow and it would have virtually no effect on homelessness. If you want to criticize Bernie, criticize whether his policies would actually work. Owning three homes isn’t by itself a contradiction of what he advocates

Except he didn’t stop. Sanders has continued arguing for higher taxes on wealthy Americans and against extreme concentrations of wealth after becoming a millionaire himself. Becoming wealthy isn’t inconsistent with saying wealthy people (including yourself) should pay more. Criticize the policy if you want, but this ‘he became a millionaire and suddenly went quiet’ line isn't true and just isn’t a serious argument

"Alexander" was an incredibly common name in the Greek world. Even within his own family tree, he was technically Alexander III of Macedon. Using "The Great" was a practical necessity for historians to distinguish him from his father’s predecessors and the dozens of other Alexanders running around the Mediterranean. Plus his scale of impact was absurd! Charlemagne literally means “Charles the Great” because there were many Charleses. Finally, while we usually think of Julius Caesar, "Caesar" became a title used by every Roman Emperor for centuries. It eventually evolved into "Kaiser" and "Tsar". If you just say "Caesar" in a room full of Roman history buffs they actually will ask you to disambiguate which one you mean

This framing gets it wrong. It isn’t boomers vs. millennials. It isn’t immigrants vs. citizens. It’s ordinary people fighting over a shrinking share while an extraordinarily wealthy few accumulate more money, assets and political power than they could ever need. Stop turning class problems into generational wars. Tax extreme wealth.

If paying more tax feels like the Soviet Union, maybe the problem isn’t the tax

Supreme Court ruling was against tariffs under IEEPA. He is still able to use industry specific tariffs under Trade Expansion Act, that's how tariffs on Canadian auto, lumber, steel, aluminum sectors continue dispute Supreme Court ruling

Ned used to ruffs and boofs and play, now three small fluffs have claimed his day, he dares not move, he stays instead, a very warm and furry bed. Thank you Ned!

I guess the sentiment is everyday individuals and not the corporates and the wealthy. Financial benefits of advancements rarely seem to benefit common folks

you captured that quiet discomfort perfectly… like we’ve built a system we no longer question, even when it doesn’t make sense
