Features In 2014, the actor B. J. Novak, best known as Ryan, the weaselly temp from The Office, went on the Late Show With David Letterman and confessed to a small role he'd played 17 years earlier in the history of the American far right. IN MICHIGAN, when Bryan Garsten made his comment about the seductions of illiberalism, BAP was like the ghost at the banquet, cackling from the rafters at his professor's consternation. Costin Alamariu is in his mid-40s, and he has never publicly admitted that he is BAP. One of his supporters wrote to me that BAP's character was layered with irony, and that the ability to see the truth in BAP, and separate it from the hilarious megalomania, is a kind of Straussian test, to determine who can read and think, and who is so offended by the racism, misogyny, and anti-Semitism that he is incapacitated and unable to focus on anything else, even to criticize it.

FRANCE'S VEHEMENT REACTION TO WOKEISM HAS TO DO WITH THE COUNTRY'S COMPLEX RELATIONSHIP WITH AMERICA ITSELF. We believe that if France, over the long run, does not successfully increase opportunity and provide genuine political representation for its minority populations, France could become a weaker, more divided country, perhaps more crisis-prone and inward-looking, and consequently a less capable ally. Diallo is a well-known and polarizing figure in France, a telegenic proponent of identity politics with a large social-media following. But France's vehement reaction to wokeism has another cause, which is barely discernible in the U.S. It has to do with France's complex relationship with America itself. [Extracted from the article]

Time Off 7 Questions Is it true that it's easier to be a woman than a man now? Their dads know that this is a recent and mild corrective to 10,000 years of patriarchy. In one respect, in that we women are able to talk about problems of gender and men still seem not to have invented that technology in a way that isn't damaging, angry, and women-blaming.

It's simply one move of a long game in which America is the aggressive player, Russia a threatened opponent capable of being restored to reason, and Ukraine a hapless pawn. In the U.S., arming Ukraine still has bipartisan backing in Congress and from the public, but a Republican win in the midterm elections could allow the party's Trumpist wing to block military aid; and if Trump is reelected in 2024, the U.S. might well switch sides. Culture & Critics A national mood disorder afflicts America, causing wild swings between mania and despair, superhuman exertion and bruised withdrawal. [Extracted from the article]

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's political opponent, Pierre Poilievre, attempted to force a snap election in Canada, but was unsuccessful due to a lack of support from other opposition parties. While Poilievre's Conservative Party wants an election, smaller parties are more interested in negotiating with Trudeau's Liberal Party to achieve their policy objectives. The next election is scheduled for October 2025, but opposition parties can force an early election if they defeat the government on a key vote. Poilievre's main focus was on the Trudeau government's national carbon tax, which he argues has created a cost-of-living crisis, while the Liberals argue that most residents receive more money back in rebates than they pay in the tax. The Conservatives are currently leading in the polls, but lack allies to support an early election. Other opposition parties have expressed a desire to negotiate and make progress rather than rushing into an election. [Extracted from the article]

Enrollments of international students in Canadian universities have decreased by 45% this year, a steeper decline than the 35% reduction targeted by the federal government. This decline in international student numbers has led to financial challenges for universities, with even major institutions like Queen's University in Ontario warning of potential financial ruin. The federal government has implemented new caps on study permits for undergraduates and has also restricted the rights of international students to work during and after their studies. International students, who pay higher tuition fees, contribute significantly to the revenue of Canadian universities. [Extracted from the article]

The New Democratic Party (NDP) has ended its power-sharing pact with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party, increasing the likelihood of an early election.

Trudeau will now have to seek support from one of the three main opposition parties in Parliament to avoid losing a confidence vote. The Liberals have fallen behind in the polls, with the Conservatives leading by a significant margin. Singh is urging voters to support the NDP instead of the Liberals. [Extracted from the article]

That's a lot to drop on an event whose biggest headliner was former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, who had overseen Trump's super-PAC until last year, when he was excommunicated from Trumpworld after a donor accused him of groping her at a fundraising dinner. A former county election judge and a delegate to the GOP'S state convention, Sarris was thrilled to hear De- Santis speak; she would vote for the Florida governor for president - though not if he ran against "our real president", Trump. The event was marketed as a free speech extravaganza of Trump-supporting activists and influencers not welcome at more traditional Republican confabs like the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), the oldest, largest, and most influential right-wing gathering in the country. Even before the Trump era, CPAC was a playground for the party's wingnuts. [Extracted from the article]

Democratic women are embracing fear as a campaign strategy, expressing concern about the possibility of another Trump presidency and urging voters to be scared. This approach was successful for Democrats in the 2022 midterm elections and is now being applied to politics in general, not just the issue of abortion. However, while fear may motivate left-leaning women to vote, it is not contributing to their overall well-being. Liberal women tend to be less happy than their conservative counterparts, and they also express greater discontent with the treatment of women in society. The fear factor could potentially be a long-term winning strategy for Democrats, particularly as young women become increasingly liberal. However, the success of this strategy will depend on the quality of the candidates offered by the party. Vice President Kamala Harris, for example, has low approval ratings, which could impact the 2024 election. The article suggests that Democrats should focus less on fearmongering and more on addressing their own challenges if they hope to retain the White House. [Extracted from the article]
