Tuesday’s figures may also signal the worst of the recent slowdown is over. Average prices in Toronto were little changed from June, and the nationwide sales decline in July was much smaller than in May and June, which each saw drops exceeding 6 percent.
I think is wishful thinking.
You see, Dr Strouse is – in his mind, at least – “dismantling linguistic racism.” And he’s doing this using minority students as his little foot soldiers. How very brave of him. And that ungrammatical job application, the one enlivened with incomprehensible sentences and lots of inventive spelling, will do just fine. Because by the time any sufficiently credulous students have pinned their hopes upon it, it won’t be his problem.
On May 15, 1911 Standard Oil was ordered to be broken up. Before May 15, 2018 will Google face a mandated great divide of its own?

Glenn Reynolds on the Google memo saga:
The Damore firing, and [CEO, Sundar] Pichai’s disgraceful handling of it, represents colossal damage to Google’s brand. In essence, it’s an announcement — by a company that has access to everyone’s data — that it endorses the notion of thought-crime.
North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un decided Tuesday not to fire ballistic missiles at Guam, reserving the right to change his mind if “the Yankees persist in their extremely dangerous reckless actions,” according to North Korean state media.
Kim appears to be attempting to de-escalate tensions…

It’s at times like this that I’m grateful I know how to dress game.
Don’t try this at home. Thread open.
Google’s fascist witch-burning of an honest engineer for refusing to bow down at the altar of politically correct lies was the final straw, an unequivocal warning to conservatives that there’s a new set of rules, and that we need to play by them. First they came for the tech geeks; we’re next. That means Republicans at both the federal and the state level need to rein in the skinny-jeaned fascist social justice warriors who control Silicon Valley – and, to a growing extent, our society – through the kind of crushing regulation of these private business that we conservatives used to oppose.
Heads up, agriculture – you're next: the @CanVetMedAssoc has been hijacked by animal rights activists. #MoreDeadCatshttps://t.co/Y7eEqCEdZP

I cannot stress this strongly enough — if you’re in agriculture, talk to your MLA. Today’s declawed cat is tomorrow’s docked lamb or dehorned calf. While the CVMA is only an advisory body, the real power is vested in the provincial boards.
Veterinary Associations in province after province are being hijacked by urban-centric social justice agenda vets. These Association boards bypass the legislative process and write de facto “law” by banning procedures, stripping the minority of practitioners of the right to provide these services under threat of fines and loss of license.
In provinces like BC and New Brunswick, these prohibitions have empowered the even more radical SPCA’s, granting them the authority to seize animals if breeders are suspected of performing traditional animal husbandry procedures themselves.
Our Agriculture Ministers need to roll back the power of these Associations now, and affirm the individual veterinarian’s right to practice according to law.

We’d still be living in caves – with really, really fancy curtains.
Today’s fake-industry leader is Tesla, the electric car developed by subsidy entrepreneur Elon Musk, who also heads SolarCity and SpaceX, other government darlings. Musk’s genius is primarily in the subsidy-seeking realm — by 2015, U.S. governments alone had given his companies US$5 billion through direct grants, tax breaks, cut-rate loans, cashable environmental credits, tax credits and rebates to buyers of his products. Counting subsidies from Canada and Europe, the government bankroll could be double that. Counting indirect subsidies — such as electric-vehicle-friendly infrastructure — the subsidies soar ever higher.
