Apparently there are still some in Europe who hope that Trump will be reasonable and rational if they just talk to him nicely. 🙄

Israeli forces have stormed the headquarters of the UN agency dedicated to providing humanitarian assistance for Palestinians in East Jerusalem, demolishing buildings in an attack that the agency condemned as “unprecedented.”

The speech really was exceptional. Go and listen if you haven’t already.

Worth listening to the entire speech. www.cpac.ca/headline-pol...

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

Hmmm…. www.reuters.com/business/dan...

My loyal little buddy cat finally admitted defeat this morning and hightailed it for the house halfway through farm chores. Wind is howling so It’s around -30c with the wind chill factor. (-22 for you fahrenheit people.)

We really need to find a way to get all news media in Canada back into Canadian control.

🔥Greenland politician: “Trump doesn’t know about Greenlandic people. We don’t value💰/Kardashian lips/fake boobs… we won’t give up free health care & education… 🇺🇸are so greedy they’re trying to shoot their friends… Trump surrounds himself with white power— our rights would probably be taken away.”

www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0... Oh My God. Why are people who have the power to stop this embarrassing debacle doing nothing?

Just a reminder that as of now, Iran is still run by cruel theocrats, Venezuela is still run by far-left socialists, Russia is still run by a destructive dictatorship, and Ukraine is still run by a vibrant democracy.

Good thread on the importance of digital sovereignty in Canada. We need to pay a lot more attention to this.

A short #caturday morning walk after we finished barn chores. He’s just as much help on a walk as he is in the barn. 🐈🙄 #cats #animals

How very astute they were!

Canadian PM Mark Carney reaffirms his commitment to NATO art.5 and to Greenland and Denmark.

I believe I read every mystery she ever wrote when I was in my teens. Miss Marple was far and away my favourite detective.

while much of the world really does not care about Canada (sorry), that Canada is willing to risk Trump's ire by making a deal with China is perhaps as big of a deal as the Europeans participating in Denmark's Greenland exercises. Elbows finally/firmly up! saideman.blogspot.com/2026/01/we-h...

“Of particular interest to us is the detail that part of this quota will be reserved for EVs with an import price of $35,000 or less, with this portion increasing to 50% of imported Chinese EVs by 2030. “

“Canada will allow up to 49,000 Chinese electric vehicles into the Canadian market each year, at a 6.1 per cent tariff.” www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Not exactly a surprise…. news.gallup.com/poll/700889/...

If Donald Trump uses military force to take over Greenland, Denmark has options beyond NATO. Here's what they are 👇

My feed is filling up with internal US news and commentary. So I’m making an effort to follow more Canadian and international accounts. Sometimes the US swamps the rest of us.

Greenland is not for sale so who is putting that price tag on it???? As always, the US media gradually sliding into agreement with Trump’s imperial wet dreams.

Do I think this is unlikely? Yes. Do I think we need to prepare for it anyway? Also yes.

Interesting. 43% of Canadians prefer a full Gripen fleet for our airforce. 29% want a mixed fleet of Gripen and F35. 13% want F35. According to an Ekos poll last month. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

US administration is going to destroy us all. Asinine.

Imperialism on the march again. bbc.com/news/article...

The CBC has just posted a transcript of my recent As it Happens interview about X and Grok. I’m posting a couple of screen shots here - since they are a bit too long for alt text, I’ll post the link to the full transcript below. #cdnpoli #X #Grok #yeg #CSAM

Love this guy

Too much doomscrolling today. I'm going out to spend some quality time with my #horses.

It’s pretty remarkable how quickly the US is flushing itself down the toilet.

“Denmark’s going to have to invoke Article 4. Europe’s going to have to say if they’ll stand up. My gut feeling is Canada will be on the ground in Greenland because Alberta will be the next target if Trump gets away with it!” #cdnpoli

If you had a Canadian grandparent, you may be eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship — these are new rules as of December 2025. You might be surprised how many Americans have Canadian roots somewhere:

Ukraine proved them all wrong once, and so will again. Accept no compromise. Onwards to triumph!

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Worth watching…

The Telegraph is reporting that the UK is seeking Canada and Australia to join together to create a unified ban on X dot com

I love this: Canada has added MORE jobs in the last four months than the US And it is not even close. 🇺🇸 Jobs added September from December: +38,000 🇨🇦 Jobs added September from December: +188,800 Even the private vs public sector breakdown still points towards Canada

“There was zero plan, except causing pain,” said one U.N. official about the Trump administration’s decision to stop funding the group with no notice or communication. “And that is not forgivable.”
