Everyone has a beef about high beef prices. This WSJ backgrounder (gift link) explains why the prices in the US are likely to remain high.

Carney had suggested last year that the tanker ban could be adjusted when work first started on planning a new oil pipeline to the Pacific. The same could be applied to the rail project, Strathcona CEO Adam Waterous said, adding his team has met with the representatives of the federal government multiple times in recent weeks to discuss the idea.
“They wouldn’t take multiple meetings if there wasn’t some chance of this obviously happening, of course.”

The Great Feminization Theory--a conversation with Helen Andrews to talk about the Cornell fraternity case, Hockey Canada, even JT's gender-balanced cabinet.
Her analysis? 'Men experience the world differently. We don’t need to understand it. We don’t need to like it. We just need to make space for it'
