    Predictions for the debate tonight?

    Chippy land some king hits on DeLuxe, but Lux picks up some sympathy points, like Brash all those years ago?

    Great take-down of conserative governments.

    Mark Carney, "When Brexiters tried to create Singapore-on-the-Thames, the Truss government instead delivered Argentina-on-the-Channel." Calm, measured, enlightening. This speech by @MarkJCarney at the Global Progress Action Summit is a must watch #GlobalProgressAction23

    When Liz Truss was briefly Britain’s prime minister a year ago, the world’s sixth-largest economy came close to resembling Argentina, a country plagued by financial and economic instability.

    That’s according to former Bank of England Governor Mark Carney, who has accused Truss and other “extreme conservatives” of “a basic misunderstanding of what drives economies” — a confusion that he said put the United Kingdom on a path to economic oblivion.

    Truss and her Brexit-backing allies have long argued that lower taxes and fewer regulations — akin to Singapore’s approach — would help kickstart sorely needed growth in the UK. But her “mini” budget, which contained ill-conceived plans for unfunded tax cuts, instead sparked market panic when it was unveiled last September.

    Speaking at a summit for policymakers in Montreal Saturday, Carney said that when Brexit supporters “tried to create Singapore on the Thames, the Truss government instead delivered Argentina on the Channel.”

    Hindutva gets it's Putin on.

    @HarshaWalia
    absolutely HUGE news.

    Every single political party in Canada admits that Indian state was involved in POLITICAL ASSASSINATION of Canadian-Sikh community leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar this summer.

    Let that sink in, comrades.

    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is accusing the government of India of involvement in the fatal shooting of a Canadian Sikh leader — a claim that will have seismic effects on an already shaky bilateral relationship.

    Canadian citizen Hardeep Singh Nijjar was brazenly shot dead outside a Sikh temple in Surrey, B.C. on June 18.

    Nijjar, a supporter of a Sikh homeland in the form of an independent Khalistani state, had been branded by the Indian government as a "terrorist" and accused of leading a militant separatist group — something his supporters have denied.
