  • Restricting democratic positions based on an undemocratic process isn’t good. If a corrupt government wanted to keep someone from being voted out they could just deny security clearances to their political enemies and suddenly the people can’t vote for who they want.

    Like others have said, Poilievre could get security clearance if he wanted to. He’s not a foreign agent, he’s just an asshole. He’s currently arguing that those who read the classified documents detailing interference by foreign spies are doing nothing to fix it. He loses that argument if he reads the documents, because now he’s just like everyone else.






  • Not an expert, but here’s my understanding:

    A beam of white light contains many wavelengths. If it hits something that bends the light it causes the different wavelengths to bend at different angles. The light ends up coming out as a rainbow with each wavelength being bent to a different degree. Not all of these colours might hit your eye.

    If you have a whole bunch of prisms in the air, they all separate and scatter different colours of light in different directions. The red light from one prism might hit your eye but the other colours coming from that prism might not. The orange light from another prism might hit your eye but the other colours do not.

    A rainbow is a pattern created by red light from some prisms, orange light from others, yellow from others, etc. You only see one colour from one prism, but together they form a pattern. If you move the rainbow moves too. Prisms that were sending red light into your eye are no longer doing so. Others that missed your eye are now hitting it. The pattern stays the same but it’s being created by different prisms now.
