Happy 160th anniversary of a bunch of murderous cowards finally giving up on the idea that they should own other human beings.

"The Battle of Appomattox Court House [...] was the final engagement of Confederate General in Chief Robert E. Lee and his Army of Northern Virginia before they surrendered to the Union Army of the Potomac under the Commanding General of the United States Army, Ulysses S. Grant."

@paulbusch Interesting bit of history — thanks for sharing.

It's especially disturbing because that land was never HBC's to sell to anyone, either from an Indigenous or a settler perspective.

While HBC had a colonial trading monopoly over the territory, even under exploitative settler law, it was (and to a large extent, is) Indigenous land according to the 1763 Royal Proclamation, which still has legal force in Canada.

Good Morning #Canada
The troubles of The Hudsons Bay Company have dominated Canadian retail news recently, with experts offering opinions on how the 355 year old company ultimately failed. But the #HBC downfall likely began 155 years ago when they gave up ownership of almost a third of Canada’s land. HBC wanted to sell the land to the Americans for an estimated $40M but was forced by Britain to settle for $1.5M. We dodged a musket ball....

Because most people are economic illiterates and innumerate, believe conservatives are good at governance.

“The biggest similarity is a crisis of competence,” said Kenneth Rogoff, a professor of economics at Harvard. “Liz Truss’s policies may have made sense in some other world. But they just came out of the blue, so they didn’t have any credibility.”

Liz Truss after her resignation speech in October 2022. She was forced out of office by her own Conservative Party in little more than six weeks, the shortest tenure for a prime minister in British history.
