Assorted content for your long weekend reading. - Cole Stangler interviews Raquel Garrido about the political critique behind Jean-Luc Melenchon's emerging presidential campaign - and it sounds equally applicable in Canada: One of the reasons why the current regime is lacking consent in French society is because the process for electing officials allows them to behave inconsistently with their campaign promises.

Raging against the machine
Ethical Technology - 21 hours ago
As a consequence of our geographical isolation and preponderance of our country’s power Americans, at least since the Civil War, haven’t paid much attention to what is going on in the rest of the world. One can assume that few of us know or have thought all that much about how a Republic under president Trump isn’t just a sort of primal scream emanating from the failures of US politics and culture that we’ve been storing up for over a generation- though it is that as well- but stands as only one representative of a truly global phenomenon. https://ieet.org/images/uploads/oswaldo-gu... more »

Geneticizing Ethnicity: A study on the “Taiwan Bio-Bank”
*Taiwan as an island country is an immigrant society where interethnic marriages have been common....* This interesting 2010 paper Geneticizing Ethnicity: A study on the “Taiwan Bio-Bank" (Tsai Yu-yueh) has some useful history of how Taiwan's colonial governments classified the people who live here (which is not necessarily the way they themselves thought about it). I put that quote from the abstract there because it is striking how the author is struggling for inclusive language, which sadly negates the historical experience of Taiwan's indigenes.

News-watch's report on the *Today *programme's business coverage, finding heavy anti-Brexit bias, has certainly hit a raw nerve with defenders of the BBC. I've lost count of the number of articles, especially on left-leaning sites (including the *Guardian*), which have referred to it with haughty dismissal before going on to claim either that the BBC is getting it about right or, 'in fact', erring on the other side.

It's currently the 2nd-ranked story on the BBC News website. (ITV, in contrast, has it has its 10th-ranked story). The BBC's report is striking for its weighting against Mr MacKenzie.

Big Data And The Cannabis Industry
*-by Prateek Dwivedi* The legalization of medical marijuana in Canada, jurisdictions within the U.S., and abroad has returned a once-taboo, illegal recreational product back to its role as a medicinal agent, which can be traced back to ancient China. While the current market is generally delineated as “Recreational” or “Medicinal” users, in many jurisdictions and use cases, medical cannabis is an access point for the recreational user. In Canada, where cannabis is legal on a nationwide basis, only 5% of clinicians prescribe its use for patients. Among the factors that would give ... more »
