Bad news but it could have been worse. If we can't get CUSMA (or USMCA in the US) renewed this year, we're going to be in serious trouble. We're (Canada) still too dependent on exports to the US.

The evidence looks pretty scant. And even the doctor that RFK Jr. Mentioned didn't call it a cure. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/u...

And that's most likely a severe underreporting of the actual numbers. In Canada, we had over 5000 cases in 2025. With the US having 9x the population, I doubt the US had 1/2 the number of cases. Canada conducts extensive testing for measles. Universal healthcare probably helps with that.

3/7

It's gotten really crazy that I find myself agreeing with Rand Paul on something. First MTG, now him.

Excellent. Honestly, we need to do this a lot more.

"Carney rolled his eyes and rejected U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s contention to Fox News that he aggressively walked back his comments at the World Economic Forum during a phone call with Trump on Monday." He's not the only one.

Trump says that Canada only lives because of the US. Canada lives because we beat your ass in 1812.

This is what happens when a country moves toward a theocracy: science loses.

“What's happening to CBS is a terrible embarrassment and if execs think they can build shareholder value by avoiding journalism that might offend the Mad King they are about to learn a tough lesson. This is still America and we don’t enjoy bullshit like this.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

The competition in the Trump administration to be the first to tip off Putin must have been fierce.

Something to think about. The article tells you how to turn off this "feature", but how to do it has changed. You can find it in the General area now, under Google Workspace. #privacy #google #security #gmail

A free press cannot function if the government is able to exercise veto power over critical reporting simply by refusing to engage. The public has the right to question how CBS will ensure the independence and integrity of its journalism going forward.

Bill Clinton just called on Trump to release the full Epstein Files, including all documents mentioning both Trump and Clinton. “Refusal to do so will confirm the widespread suspicion the DOJ’s actions to date are not about transparency, but about insinuation.”

Sometimes I am so proud of Canada. Thanks for this video, @enemywithinyt.bsky.social. #neverthe51ststate #Canada #USApoli #Epstein

Fascinating commentary! www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKp9...

When we have mass shootings weekly, we can no longer say that gun violence doesn't belong here. Fact is, it's here, and the government hasn't done a damn thing yet to stop it.

We sadly know Zoe Weissman because of Parkland. In fact, our families are so close, that she has been there for my wife and I after Parkland and helped with our foundation Orange Ribbons For Jaime. America, are you ok with this?

“If it were really that bad you would be in hospital!” People say this to disabled folks all the time They don’t realize that if we went to the hospital for every flare, we would live there They don’t realize how dangerous hospital settings can be They don’t realize how little help is available

"Zuranolone, sold under the brand name Zurzuvae, is a pill taken once a day for 14 days and can start relieving depressive symptoms in as few as three days."

Thou shalt not pretend that you’re at war with drug traffickers while pardoning drug traffickers.

"No one's going to build a factory based on a tariff that's on on Monday, off on... Tuesday, the president's changed his mind by Wednesday, he gets hormonal by Thursday and someone says something nasty in the middle school cafeteria on Friday and they're back on again."

And I hope to heck he is, along with the military leaders who went along with it.

And push the Democrats to stop giving in. Godspeed!

A constant narrative of the Trump campaign was that the US wouldn't be involved in future conflicts. Wonder how the fascists will spin this one. He "prevented" 7 wars so now he can start 7 to cancel them out?

The Canadian economy is struggling amidst US tariffs, but increased housing and military spending are preventing a recession. Canadian military spending leaped from 1.6% to 2% (the original NATO recommendation in the last budget. The goal is to teach 5% in 10 years, the present NATO goal.

These many great legal scholars had tears in their eyes, called Donald "Sir," and disappeared as the sun rose over the White House.

Surprise! The Democrats have the momentum and the GOP right where they want them. And what do they do? Why, surrender, of course.

"Previous systematic reviews exploring potential risks have been inconsistent in quality. Many did not properly adjust for key factors... making it difficult to determine whether acetaminophen itself has any true impact on a baby's brain development."

Lovely. In Calgary, Alberta, the vaccination rate is only 68%! I received my measles booster a few months ago, and I'm glad I did. The risk is low for adults, I know, but if the option exists to avoid any risk and it's easy, why not? And it protects people who can't get vaccinated.

Yeah, the man's got a point. Our PM should NEVER have apologized to Trump. Now he knows he has the upper hand.

No, not Bubbles! It's going to end up being another TV series I can no longer watch with a clear conscience, I know it.

Indeed. Trump is a narcissist with antisocial personality disorder. It's not only that he doesn't care about suffering. He gets off on it.

Husbands with Grindr profiles?

In the Canadian system, a failed budget vote (or a late one) doesn't shut down any operations, but it forces an election, which I think is better than the American system. Those who hate elections might not think so. But it rarely happens unless the Government wants it to happen.

Disgusting.

Readers fact-checking Trump. I can't wait for him to say the platform he created is biased.

Despite US tariffs, the Ontario government had higher than expected revenue.

Healthcare is a human right. Every industrialized nation understands this, except one. Even $500/month is too much. I hope the MAGA supporters finally realize who they voted for. Is sticking it to the immigrants, DEI and Trans people worth your health?

Heh. I was confused, too. But that's probably because I'm Canadian. 😂

Unfortunately, it does nothing other than embarrass the Republicans except Trump, who is incapable of being embarrassed. They tried this once already. The House can prevent it from even being voted on and Trump could veto anyway. Here we see the weakness in an executive form of government.

Fascinating. Perhaps someone smarter could skim the study and comment, but it looks like the correlation isn't solid since it uses observational data. Still more likely than aliens, though.

I thought we called dibs!

It's an old article, but it demonstrates that Canada has the research prowess but lacks the infrastructure. We could have made vaccines quickly instead of importing them, but we cratered our biomanufacturing capacity.

Stop trying to sweeten the deal, Andrew. I'm already voting for Zohran!
