Do museums actually do that?

Exactly. The baddies are called 'terrorists'. The term the media uses to describe good terrorists is 'rebels' and sometimes 'freedom fighters'.

So, is Trudeau just too fiscally liberal for his fiscally conservative finance minister picks? I mean, a good finance minister does skew fiscally conservative compared to the rest of their party, regardless of which party they are a member.

I'm probably giving him wayyy too much credit here.

Geeze, I'm old. I was thrown off by the metal bars.

This just happened to me a week ago. WestJet missed their own connecting flight and they found seats on an American Airlines flight to my destination via an extra overnight stay in the USA, gave me a few meal vouchers (useless at the airport 7-11) and paid for the hotel. They didn't tell me I'd have to:

• pay for my luggage again
• pay roaming fees to call only to find out they gave my hotel shuttle to someone else
• pay for a taxi ride to my resort because their shuttle service marked me as a no-show on the day I would have arrived had they not screwed up.

The US customs agent was bewildered when told I didn't want to visit the united states but had little choice.

Maybe, but the real point as I see it is to take your prison hanger off and use it like a normal, trustworthy, non-incarcerated human during your stay.

I mean, yes, it technically fits the definition of manifesto, but the word that comes to mind a "blurb".

I wonder if Ted Kaczynski or anyone else's manifestos along anti-corporate-establishment lines are being censored. If not, maybe it's because they're a little less digestible. If so, then maybe some articles by Elizabeth Rosenthal could be posted.

CSIS is generating clickbait now?

Remember the last time someone had "some information" about "possible foreign interference" and it was "someone else paid for their meal and they didn't document it in the ethics ledger."

I'm not saying that either is fine (accepting gifts/meals, nor forgetting to do some routine documentation) but stop issuing press releases informing the public that you're about to issue a press release.

Please do explain, because I seriously grew up thinking mainline religion minus reason equals biblical literalism (aka fundamental religion) but I'm open to believe that may be one of these scenarios.

Holy moley

Separating science from religion is how you get fundamentalism.

Just as an example of how ass-backwards and nickle-and-diming Canada's universal healthcare is, I had abdominal surgery several years ago. Sure, the surgery was covered, but the travel and parking weren't, and neither were the pain meds and cane for my recovery.
