Is “market” money national?

No, but deciding what sectors to invest in, or NOT invest in is a decision by a national agency, and should be in line with the govt’s stated values.

RT = Russia Talk

“there’s a good idea somewhere” So many shows don’t know how to come to grips with the main thesis, so the producers and writers just do what they know how to do; write soap operas.

Soma, a fictional drug in Aldous Huxley’s novel “Brave New World”.

Arwe there any non-“solid state” battery for motorcycles? What is the generation principle?

Yeah, I saw your post. Too bad barrons is paywalled. I can’t refute nor support your statement.

Cara Gee was incredible as Drummer, doing whatever task was given, despite sacrifice, if it benefited her people. Soft as velvet and hard as vacuum.

Gee. Tough luck! A foreigner stopped at the border and questioned (not interrogated!) about the purpose of his visit. That’s what the CBSA is supposed to d. It was probably the first time they ever heard about the position of “UN special rapporteur”, and discovering he is a _former _ UN employee, privately investigating human rights violations raised some red flags. Anyway, the CBSA likely had no idea what to do about this man, so they kick it upstairs until it finally gets to Foreign Affairs (or whatever its called by this government). That takes some time. As the man said himself, the questions were not aggressive.
It is entirely normal for governments to inquire about the purpose of a visit. Even I have been asked. But I never said “to investigate human rights violations, like I used to do for the UN”! It would be irresponsible for any border agent to dismiss the issue.
He believes his delay (detainment?) is part of a “global push” (conspiracy?) to punish truth tellers. Full of oneself much?
Also, even a Canadian Senator needs an appropriate security clearance and a “need to know” before getting answers about why.
Finally the “Palestinian Tribunal” is merely a meeting of interested parties hoping to influence the Government of Canada’s policy towards the violence in Gaza. This whole incident is hardly newsworthy, but merely Canada protecting citizens and other visitors from harm.
So, yeah, tough luck.

Homegrown pork belly? “Oxaro (the company currently administering the govt program) has now received $54.1 million and spent $36.3 million on administration costs, with just $18.1 million paid to injured Canadians”
This company is _ so _ good at administering that they spend one third of the budget on actual benefits! /s

Death by misadventure. RIP Steffan Skjottelvik, died doing what he choose to do.

No surprise it is found in the strings at the very core of reality.

And we should build our own! Way easier than submarines or fighter jets!
