5,133,667 | [0, 0, 0, 0] | The evolution of humankind from small hunter and gatherer tribes to states based on agriculture, with the accompanying urbanisation, social stratification, exploitation, empire-building, and development of advanced civilisations, is also one of the fascinating watershed events of history that still affects us, and that happened in many different parts of the world.
But then the more recent watershed event that has influenced pretty much the whole world is the development of modern science and technology, which led to industrialisation, and that only happened in a very specific part of the world, northwestern Europe. That led to the social developments of modern democracies. And those are developments that impacted the rest of the world in profound ways, too, including culturally. Which is why the whole world now is learning English, not Chinese or Hindi. etc. | 4 | Um, no, I don't , what would make you think that? Unless you think I'm somawhat playing the same game you are, of trying to "prove" "My civilisation is intrinsically "superior" to others? I'm not. That's your game. Like some kid playing "My dad is stronger than your dad."
But the fact everything depends on something that came before is hardly news, is it? And all that is well known to anyone with a basic education. But so what? What's interesting is why it was Europe that used those mathematics and gunpowder, etc., to explore the world in such a way that the Americas and other remote areas became integrated into its trading network, and that changed the history of the whole world in a way China or Japan or India never did.

John writes that the jury is still out on the Liberals' handling of refugee claimants crossing into Canada illegally. It seems to me the jury has spoken and the majority of Canadians are concerned about and opposed to these crossings. Recent news that 50% of these refugee claimants have criminal records will only increase public concern.
Crediting the Liberals for continuing the trade policies of the Conservatives that they vehemently opposed in opposition is praising brazen hypocrisy and opportunism.

In other words, the government withdraws money from the economy. That is appropriate when the economy is hot, producing as much as it can, with all resources employed. That is not the case now. In the current state it is entirely appropriate for the federal government to run a deficit, as long as the ratio of debt to GDP doesn't change much.
We should all stop obsessing about the budget deficit, and ask about other deficits: Infrastructure deficit, health care deficit, education deficit. How is the money being spent? Are those other deficits being addressed, or is the money wasted? In the long run it doesn't matter if the federal debt is 5% of GDP more or less. What does matter is whether we have adequate transportation networks and health and education systems.

On Monday, Merkel made a remarkable speech in which she expressed at length her regrets over how her handling of the refugee/migrant crisis of 2015 had panned out. She wished she could turn back time. She accepted responsibility. She acknowledged mistakes. She regretted that her catchphrase "Wir schaffen das!"—"We'll manage"—had become an "almost empty" and provocative formulation.
There have been many, many both on- and offline accounts of Angela Merkel expressing regret, especially after the pasting her party took after the Berlin elections. | 4 | AhiPoke, where do you get this information on Angela Merkel?

The liberal war on science:
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-liberals-war-on-science | 4 | There are a few things wrong here. First, science denialism has no political affiliation. There are plenty of ideas dear to the political left that make fine examples of science denialism, and these ideas range from the denial of the role of biology on human behavior (just like religionists') to permitting the spread of malaria. Secondly, science relies mostly on inductive and abductive reasoning, and as such, "the unknowns" are not known, and this is why facts can be revised over time. While the components of a model may proven, the logical entailments between them can be lacking. Also, the peer review process may have been at one time what Mr. Box describes, but that is no longer the case, there is a lot of inducement in the current enterprise of science to lead scientists to collude.

No doubt Bashar has used it as pretext to also work towards to exterminations of groups that are not his supporters just as Turkey uses the opportunity to weaken the Syrian Kurds.
But in the context of an article on Mélenchon these are sideshows. He is an accomplished demagogue without any semblance of a workable program whether of the left or far, far, far left.
French socialists are rooted in a tradition owing much to marxism but the DSK/Hollande type of politics leaves them out in the rain. An unfocused purely reactive policy that neither effectively protects what the people have now nor lays the foundation for a more promising future was not what they expected from a socialist after 5 years of Sarkozy's political pirouettes. Macron is the continuation of Hollande, Hannon is Melenchon Light but it is him they chose in their primary -- Montebourg would have been a more inspiring choice. | 6 | "Mr. Mélenchon is a pro-Russia demagogue who blames the five-year-old Syrian civil war on President Bashar al-Assad’s bid to block pipelines aimed at easing European dependence on Russian oil and gas, rather than on Mr. al-Assad’s suppression of anti-government uprisings during the Arab Spring."

Now THAT would be a risk to impartiality.

There's a very real possibility of a conflict of interest and a biased ruling, in that case.
But exactly how many cases is he going to rule on this year that have any spectre of involving Trump, the Republicans, or the US Federal Government or Trump voters, given that he's an Ontario Provincial Justice? Conflicts of interest typically require a possible biased ruling. If that biased ruling isn't even truly a possibility due to context, there's no possible compromise to the justice's impartiality. It's unprofessional, of course, but this wasn't going to have any real world impact on his cases. Nor could it.

5,156,708 | [0, 0, 0, 0] | There are elements of real truth in the concept of Strength in Diversity. We didn't follow the American model but let's not get carried away. We have our own overriding national myths; not as compelling, perhaps not as strident, and not as strong as that of the Americans but there are there. How did a group of disparate British colonies find their own way to a political union in the north. The federal government's commemoration a few years ago of the War of 1812, one seminal "Strength in Diversity" event in the early history of such a union, was greeted with derision by many in the opposition. The inference being the failure of that American assault on Canada played no role in what followed. If Canada had been swallowed up there would have been no Confederation, no Canada, no Strength in Diversity. We would have been just another blip in American Manifest Destiny. We have to recognize how diversity has manifested strength in our history. | 4 | …da.
But this isn't a failing of the country, it is the very thing that makes it the greatest country on earth.
