Streamlining Business Processes in U.S. Logistics and Supply Chains

America has been a bogeyman in Canadian politics. Recently, and for as long as I've been following, it's been used by leftists to defame conservatives. I believe the pendulum is now swinging the opposite way. I believe Trudeau, the Liberals, and the CBC are importing American social justice ideology, following and aping Americans, and so that kind of anti-American politics, which I believe has a lot of potential in Canada, I wonder if it will become a conservative angle of attack and a conservative advantage in Canadian politics." - Elliot Kaufman, Episode 87, July 18, 2022When the Charter was conceived and designed in the early 1980s, the concept of substantive due process was already well-known in the United States. As a result, our framers did not utilize the term "due process" in Section 7. They used the phrase "principles of fundamental justice." The record, in my opinion and that of many others, is clear: they employed basic justice principles precisely because due process had been liberally interpreted in that manner." - Asher Honickman, Episode 83, July 11, 2022.No one recognized me when I landed in Nova Scotia. Nobody knew what I looked like; all they had was my name. They didn't even provide them a picture of myself, despite the fact that I am more attractive than Leonardo DiCaprio, but that wasn't what they were interested in. When I think back on how they handled the sponsorship, I believe they were always concerned with me as a human being looking for safety and serenity. They cared deeply about transforming my life." - Tareq Hadhad, Episode 77, June 30, 2022.

I've said it before, but governments over the world.

have urged young people to halt their lives and make huge sacrifices for the benefit of the old and the community. Look, we asked everyone to do this, but especially young people, because the virus posed a very minimal risk to them. What is the gratitude that young people receive? After two years, they emerge from lockdowns to discover that they are now accountable for a considerable amount of government debt—the debt has been doubled—and they are unable to acquire a home. So I suppose they're frustrated. They accomplished all we requested of them, as well as what the government required of them, and now they're frustrated." - Adam Chambers, Episode 76, June 27, 2022.If I were assessing it, I'd say by those standards, by the expectations that I just laid out—a responsible stakeholder in the present international order? It looks like a failure. Economic liberalization? In truth, China's economic policies have become increasingly statist and mercantilist. Politically, it has grown even more oppressive than it was previously. China is arguably more oppressive now than it was during the Cultural Revolution. By all of those metrics, I believe engagement failed. - Aaron Friedberg, Episode 73, June 20, 2022.I don't think China will implode in the near future, but I do believe it will become more fragile, unpredictable, and tough for its citizens and global neighbors. This takes me back to my original point: we need a wise China policy and to improve our Chinese competency. It is in our national interest and essential to a successful Canadian foreign policy." - David Mulroney, Episode #60, May 25, 2022.

It may be the single greatest threat.

to the development of opportunity and skill, because children born into true one-parent families have far less chances, both economically and in terms of how they are raised. It is associated with them receiving less favorable treatment. I don't have a magic wand to wave that will make all of those men worthy of having a wonderful family, but we could do so much more than we are doing today. Now, it's a mix of not exactly a priority and, for many people, a topic you're not even permitted to discuss. That's bad, I believe. - Tyler Cowen, Episode 59, May 24, 2022I prefer to utilize the basket analogy, specifically the Medicare basket of services. And right now, we have a very small, very deep basket that includes all hospital and physician care. And I would want to see more of a European model, which is a much bigger basket that includes everything from dental care to long-term care and everything in between for people who require it, albeit a little shallower. As a result, some people will have to pay for private insurance, while the majority would have to pay for it themselves. The key, however, is clarity. We will never pay 100% of everything for everyone. So, let's be explicit about where we draw the lines. - Andre Picard, Episode 56, May 16, 2022.

But you're right to point out that joy. 

is a powerful and enduring presence in the novel. At one point, I used Ctrl-F to see "How often am I using this word?" Further, "Is it too often and are they coming too close together on a page or in a paragraph?" But, to be honest, it feels like the proper word to me because I think of joy as a certain type of happiness that is linked to the sense of cosmic sweep that I was just talking about. It is not mundane in the sense of being not quite Earthly. It connects us to the sheer improbability of our existence and the wonder of it all. And, to me, it is one of the most beautiful and significant experiences you can have. So, yes, I believe this book is, to a large measure, about joy, or the never-ending mystery of being here, of living." - Kathryn Schulz, Episode 53, May 11, 2022.
