The Many Fatal Flaws In Canada’s Asian Pipeline Strategy Canada is making a multi-decade oil bet precisely when many Asian economies are trying to reduce dependence on imported oil. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli @abdaniellesmith @MarkJCarney youtu.be/jwfEgaYr-ps

While everyone's watching Hormuz, the Epstein files are being buried. The law says release them. Trump is fighting it. Massie may lose his seat Tuesday for pushing it. And now a $1.7B slush fund for Jan 6 defendants? Don't go quiet. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Many Canadians are endeavouring to buy more Canadian products (while boycotting American goods). U.S. chain Dunkin’ Donuts is opening stores here. No, thanks!

The political right, including the Netanyahu & #ElonMusk connected right (as Saad & Austin are), want you to believe that “empathy” is the problem. The degree to which this is utterly sociopathic, is hard to overstate. Autocracy uses racism & LACK of empathy, as tools in dismantling civil society.

In this 1997 commencement speech, I offered a warning that America's growing economic divide would undermine the common good. If you're curious how that speech holds up 29 years later (or what I look like without a beard), watch this.

Tell me again how SCOTUS is nonpartisan! I need a good laugh. #USDemocracy www.binnews.com/content/2026...

JD Vance announced the suspension of $1.3 billion in Medicaid payments to California as part of his new role as "fraud czar" for the Trump Regime. Meanwhile, Trump has pardoned multiple convicted fraudsters, including several who gave money to his campaign and Super PAC. Remember this.

NATO is an alliance of independent countries. It is not an arm of the United States military that they can order around.

“For some reason” ICE has been demonized? People have watched families separated, children detained, and citizens harmed during aggressive enforcement operations. That’s not “demonization.” You cannot build fear in communities and then act shocked when people push back. #SheShed

One of my favorites...... Pretty timely 😀

LOL 😂😆🤣

Quebec introduces bill allowing access to partners’ domestic violence records This legislation follows 10 suspected femicides in the province this year.

“No one gives a sh*t about housing.” “If [gas prices] rise, they rise.” "I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation." Millions are struggling with the cost of food, housing, and other basic necessities. 70% of U.S. adults say the American Dream is dead. And this is how Trump responds?

This is the language of the Jim Crow South of a century ago — restored to power by John Roberts and the conservatives on the Supreme Court. Shameful.

“…Since then, I have concluded that expanding the court and breaking the conservative justices’ grip on American society is not only a necessity, but a moral imperative. Thanks to Roberts and his colleagues, I am far from alone.” • @mford.bsky.social @newrepublic.com #SCOTUS #Roberts

The plan to gerrymander Republicans into permanent House control is cracking. SC dropped their plan entirely. Louisiana refused the map Trump wanted. Mississippi punted to 2027. Turns out Republican state legislators can read polling, and they don't want to lose their chambers for a decade.

Last week, a federal court ruled that the cancellation of grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities led by DOGE in 2025 was unlawful. This decision doesn't directly affect Oregon Humanities. We are plaintiffs in a separate lawsuit against the NEH and DOGE, which is still ongoing.

NYT now has an "authoritarianism scale" for America. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Of course.

Governor Smith is a full-on separatist. It's weird watching the media pretend that she isn't.

Danielle Smith can’t have it both ways. She’s either for Canada 🇨🇦 or working with the Separatists. She’s made a choice using tax dollars to appeal. Shame. youtu.be/GGxeyRaFcJk?...

Just to clarify. I loathed him, before I even knew what party he might have affiliated with. He was, to me, way back in the 80s, the epitome of what used to be called 'The Ugly American'. I loathe him even more now. I just want him gone. Fuck trump 8647 #TheAlliedForces

Obama: empathy. Biden: empathy. Clinton: empathy. Trump: “Not even a little bit.” Four words that perfectly explain every tariff, every layoff, every empty grocery shelf. He doesn’t care about us, think about us, or how we are struggling in his economy He told us exactly who he was.

The problem is that it’s going to massively increase the amount of anti-Indigenous racism and hostility in the province, and it wasn’t exactly low to begin with.

New Golden Age...for terrible presidential poll numbers.

Pierre Poilievre and Maxime Bernier are the most unpopular party leaders in Canada

Private prison company GEO Group gave $1M+ to Trump's Super PAC in 2024 and his inauguration the following year. Not only has Trump since rewarded GEO with billions in ICE contracts, but a top former GEO executive has now been named acting ICE director. Cashing in on cruelty.

Unfortunately, any alternative to fossil fuels will be crushed by the greedy oil companies who don’t want their profits to diminish.

About 2.5 million people have lost food assistance since Trump signed his and Republicans’ big, ugly bill, with seniors and children particularly affected. Trump forced people into going hungry so that the super-rich can pay less in taxes. Never forget that.

Postmedia is still publishing columns from the food dude that make flagrant, demonstrably false claims about the industrial carbon tax and its impact. He's welcome to his own opinion, of course. But not his own facts. #cdnpoli
