Émile L.-D.

The literacy crisis is real. A friend sent me this: this is an essay that successfully got someone admitted to Harvard.

Pierre Poilievre: "Do we want a political aristocracy or do we want economic meritocracy?"

If you have a degree from a fancy University, but believe: Money printing doesn’t cause inflation; Net-zero policies create prosperity ; Governments can pick winners and losers better than free markets; Then you have been badly educated. Remember, lots of world leaders with impressive degrees have inflicted great harm on their countries. Carney’s diplomas can’t cover up the fact he had a terrible tenure at the Bank of England. Or that he is giving Canada the worst economy in the G7.

We support it, we’re upset about it, we think it’s bad, but also, we might join in. -PM Mark Carney, the last 72 hours

PM Mark Carney says the U.S.-Israel war against Iran is a failure of the international order. "The current conflict is another example of the failure of the international order." "The United States and Israel have acted without engaging the United Nations or consulting allies, including Canada."

You misunderstood parts of Carney's Davos speech. It was a call to realism and to put Canada's more narrowly defined interests ahead of universalist principles (which we have too often failed to do in the past). Deal with the world as it is, not as you wished it were.
