How does Australia's pharmaceutical industry compare to Canada's? We have a lot of generics here in Canada.. I'm curious whether Australia would benefit from a similar stance that favours more white label production, or if Australia is more invested in the development side and feels like it needs to maintain more strict/homogenized w/ US laws to keep them as a seller and recoup on its investments.

It's only a matter of time before DOGE proposes replacing the judicial branch, up to and including the supreme court, with Grok.
I'd argue it's the same hubris that led to the modern wars in Europe; the thought that we've done this elsewhere in the world, we can do it easily next door. Well, next door means you're exposing your own home to serious damage. Only 0.4% of the US population actively serves in the military, and 6% are veterans. That is a tiny part of the population that has even a hint of first-hand knowledge of how bad this could be. American government and media make these operations look quick, safe, efficient, and relatively bloodless, with relatively little capital--buildings, equipment, people--lost. They are not.
On the flip side, I think Canadians may underestimate how much they're putting this on other subcultures within their whole to fight an insurgency. There is this confidence that the FLQ, the aboriginal peoples, or some other group with a history of standing up for themselves will be the ones to stand up instead of them. The reason this is ridiculous is because it contradicts their basic thesis statement, that Canadians pass as Americans. You know who doesn't easily pass as American? Someone with a strong French accent or an aboriginal complexion.
That's an article from 2016.
This and cutting funding to EI-ISAC is basically an invitation for Russia to hack the next election.
Prediction: It'll be a quick flip to a different buyer. Oracle is the first buyer to make it look 'okay' to the general public, before Oracle sells it to X or Meta to shore up their finances.
Will he put his signature on them? :)
Geez that's bleak

See, that detail actually helps me understand why they might complain. But their reframing of the issue as 'French is an illegal barrier' will absolutely send every Canadian on the defence.
