Canada added migrants equal to 16.9% of its 2015 population from Jan. 2015 to mid-2026. The USA added 4.9%.
And real GDP per capita rose 22.7% in the USA & 4.0% in Canada.
Canada took in 3.5x the migrants per capita and had 1/5th of the economic growth.

Finance Minister Champagne defends immigration:
"Canadians have a perspective on immigration that has allowed us to attract the best talent in the world to come to our nation and enrich our nation."

There are small, human moments in this film that still tug my heartstrings, but the bombast doesn't hold up

What happened to me is bigger than one artist or one stage. When the billionaire class can decide which voices are allowed on stage and which ones are too dangerous to hear, everyone should be paying attention.

John Doyle points out that Jeremy Boreing ACCIDENTALLY grave a GREAT definition for Heritage Americans.
"It is the people who have a tangled web of European ancestry such that they can no longer be defined as Germans or English or Irish or whatever. They could never go to these lands and not themselves be foreign. This is the only land for them."

I had not realised before that the Bronze Age Collapse was literally *caused* by iron.
Bronze age powers like the Egyptians, Hittites and Babylonians used bronze weapons, made by combining copper and tin. Tin was so scarce that only the richest and most powerful groups could access it and the bronze weapons it allowed. (Tin was so rare that it was being transported from Cornwall to the Middle East more than 1000 years BC.) The scarcity of tin gave these empires a near-monopoly on violence.
Iron weapons are not actually any better than bronze ones β they're not stronger or easier to work with, as I'd assumed. They're just much, much easier to mass produce once you have bloomeries, which are the first furnaces that were hot enough to melt iron in a way that made them useable for weapons.
Bloomeries meant that iron ore, which was widespread, could be used to make weapons anywhere. That led to warlords, bandits and city-states rising in a massive decentralization of military power, which the Bronze Age empires were unable to resist.
After the invention of the bloomery, skeletons show a measurable increase in weapon-inflicted injuries. 'Destruction layers' with bones and signs of burning have been found from this time at archaeological sites including Troy. Ancient writers β including Herodotus, Ovid, and the writers of the Old Testament β believed the invention of iron had unleashed a new age of violence.
New at Works in Progress, WEAPONS OF MASS DECENTRALIZATION: how iron itself brought about the Bronze Age Collapse. And what technologies could do the same today?
