Finland has a 1340 km border with Russia and a “total defence strategy” that knits together all aspects of national and social self-sufficiency, in case of attack. Maybe other nations could learn and imitate?

We need to start considering Degrowth economics. A deliberate, planned reduction in material and energy throughput in nations to achieve social-ecological balance, aligned to the global drop in fertility rates.

With the global birth rate dropping, we need to plan for post-growth economics. We can put it off with technological increases, driven by AI, but in 50 years, we need to have an economy that thrives with a shrinking population.

Throwback to Pam Bondi’s campaign ad for Florida AG: “I’ll fight to put human trafficking monsters where they belong. Behind bars.” The ad aged. The internet remembers.

@mark-carney.bsky.social I’m thinking that now is the moment to open negotiations for a trade pact that includes all central American nations.

The Pirate King is aiming to defund all law enforcement except ICE…. Just watch.

As shown below, MAGA is desperate to pass their so-called “SAVE Act” voter suppression bill. Please call your Senators & tell them to vote NO.

1. Trump gets Greenland 2. Putin gets The High North of Norway 3. Trump goes for Canadian Territories and Alberta

Non-recyclable electronic waste, need to be processed in its region of disposal. I’m calling for an initial $1 million per million inhabitants, in Canada, to figure out how to do this and start doing it.

Scott Bessent and other US officials seem to think they can piss on Europe indefinitely. Meanwhile, they are using umbrellas, they are changing their contracts, they are aligning their responses, and, they are assembling a water collector to send the urine back at a high altitude.

The members of the Gaza Board of Occupation will be filled by a few people who pretend to be naïve (eg Blair) so they can get paid, and rather a lot of the worlds leading amoral leaders (eg also Blair).

Decades ago, thousands of young people flocked to Spain to fight fascism.

Grab them by the petrodollars.

For a functioning society, able to benefit by scientific advances: 1. Peg Minimum wage to inflation. 2. Peg Salaries to inflation. 3. $1m /year is the top salary- anything higher gets contributed to society. See?

Does anyone honestly think that the “first couple” is going to dance together in this ballroom?

So, the orange julius has a leg vein issue, and the White House says he is taking it “in stride.” Is it just me, or is finding this funny kind of like appreciating the last leaf on a tree before winter arriving?

The core agenda for the diktat is the anti-woke ideology. Move Christian (preferably pre-Vatican 2, Catholic) White males into all positions of authority. Undo voting, employment, and other “equal” rights, and rule with impunity. All else is distraction and collateral damage.

I’m tired of major media and the guests they go to, pretending that tariffs are the outstanding reason so many Canadians are boycotting the US. It’s fear to cross the border; it’s anger at the misogyny, racism and xenophobia; it’s despair at what the GOP have wrought on the global American dream.

The demolition of the US as a cultural beacon and shaper of global trends is 6 months old. The longer this goes on, the greater the disappearance of US cultural hegemony. What comes next? Which culture or cultures will fill the vacuum? What physical standards of beauty will take over?

Looks like Danielle Smith’s acolytes are frantically ramping up their rhetoric and protests before Carney has a chance to make them an offer where everyone wins. “If we secede quick enough we might get that payment from Putin into the bank!”

To Marc Carney: regarding a coast to coast to coast climate-proofed rail system for Canada. When’s the best time to plant a tree?

Relief that Jed Bartlett has been elected in Canada, but pretty freaked out by how awful is the direction of the Pirate King administration. Jed’s a smart guy with a good moral compass, but he’s holding a poisoned chalice. How do we keep the US tsunami from engulfing us?

You can share this video to help people understand what’s happening: youtu.be/Dp6PtOWQWZc?...

This is not a good idea.. Regarding the US paying mothers to procreate and produce more babies for the country… here’s a chilling piece of history. www.history.com/this-day-in-...

The patriarchy is really pissed off. What we are seeing with the money behind Poilievre, the Pirate King and his cronies in the US, and the rise of the authoritarian regimes around the world - is male dominance threatened. They will sink liberalism’s ship of state before they give it up.

There are an increasing number of deportations occurring in the US, where peoples lives are forfeit if they are returned to their Home country. Is it possible to step up the mutual agreements between nations, so that a third country is in place to receive, at the moment this is needed?

Project 2025 is chugging along in the background, hidden behind the headlines. The long-term implications of dismantling consumer protection, environmental protection, federal assistance in disasters and so much more, are all hidden behind the headlines. Soon, Americans will be on their own.

The shortage of employees can be partially resolved through creative employment of seniors. Most seniors do not want to work full-time, but if the first $30,000 was tax-free, and there were more government incentives for employers to employ seniors part time, more seniors would likely stay working.

BROLIGARCHY explained…. youtu.be/TZOoT8AbkNE?...

How could Canadian Conservative Party members, in good conscience, stand behind a man who refuses to get a security clearance? What kind of game show is this?

There has been so much attention on political and legal chaos, that the disintegration of human rights has barely gotten a comment. Even if all tariffs are somehow magically disappeared, the safety of citizens and residents has been undermined for the next decade.

A new Liberal government will move forward with 10 new national parks and marine conservation areas along with 15 new national urban parks.

The US social revolution seems to be that anyone who’s not White has a good chance of being deported or imprisoned. if you’re White, you better tick a few traditional boxes yourself. I’m terrified on behalf of any woman of child bearing years, as I think laws are coming requiring a baby boom.

The economic revolution is leading towards a fully isolationist USA, struggling to provide food on its tables, and few adequate transportation/ utility options for it’s citizens. The political revolution is the world of dark MAGA, with crazy experimentation, for who gets to be in charge.

Don’t vote for hate.

Is Canada ready for a lot of Americans wanting across the border? Are we ready to ensure that all those guns down south don’t cross the border too?

“Little hands” south of the border, is looking for a point of leverage to dole out favours. He threatens a big problem (in this case tariffs) and he doesn’t land it on those who become subservient. But subservience means adopting a neo fascist, neo Nazi ideology. Run. away. fast.

Is there a place for encouraging every Canadian to try to grow something, in a stronger economy? Window pots, front or backyard gardens, community gardens: any opportunity at all to be food self-sufficient, has an impact and sends a message of strength and working together.

If there is a concerted plan to make the United States the most hated country on the planet, it could not be going any better.

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979.  Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth.  Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

Pierre Poilievre would like to be Prime Minister without having to have those pesky security briefings.

I just signed a petition demanding the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry Ban X/Twitter in Canada. Join me in signing here: you.leadnow.ca/petitions/ba... you.leadnow.ca/petitions/ba...

So we have this. Ontario and Nova Scotia premiers in Washington, DC doing tariff negotiations. Way to present a united front you trump suck-ups. Tend to your provincial affairs (they're a mess BTW) & leave int'l affairs to the federal government. Go home boys. youtu.be/a_GZD8mQb4o?...

The Winnipeg General strike provided lessons that rippled across decades, highlighting the potential of individuals to resist capitalist exploitation. Are we closer than we think?
