Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. One way to remember is to speak out against the detention of children in centres like this. apnews.com/article/texa...

Americans, your government is lying to you. The world watches the murders by ICE. We mourn for the victims and the end of the rule of law in the US. open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Read @jvl.bsky.social's piece at @thebulwark.com on how Trump, the Republican party, and the American people demolished "the entire geo-strategic balance in an unprecedented act of national self-mutilation." I wish I believed he was overstating this. I don't.

...the US and the world *will* never be the same again. FTFY. As 🇨🇦 PM @mark-carney.bsky.social said today "Nostalgia is not a strategy." The rest of the world will never trust you the same way again. Science is just one thing on a long list of reasons why.

Carney today in Davos: "What would it mean for middle powers to 'live in truth'? It means naming reality. Stop invoking the 'rules-based international order' as though it still functions as advertised... "We know the old order is not coming back. We shouldn't mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy"

In a speech to the World Economic Forum, Mark Carney says middle powers such as Canada must accept that the rules-based international order is effectively dead, and great power rivalry with is here to stay. Key excerpt:

Listening to @mark-carney.bsky.social at WEF today strengthens my pride as a Canadian. #uspolitics #cdnpoli

When will the American people realize their country is a threat to the "free world" *not* the leader of the free world?

Every accusation is a confession. This may be the "best" example ever. There *are* professional agitators Minneapolis and they're being paid by American taxpayers. If the government wants to de-escalate, they can pull ICE off the streets. www.cnn.com/webview/us/l...

"The people who run this regime do not understand law enforcement as an institution to be stewarded. The view it as a tool for the domination of their enemies. And their “enemies” include about half of America." Read JVL's piece at: @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/renee-good...

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." ~ George Orwell, 1984

Vamce is a terrible, soulless human. Horrifying to think he would be POTUS if Tr*mp was successfully impeached.

Two statements Who is the speaker? Adolf Hitler or Stephen Miller? 1) “We live in a world that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.” SOURCE: open.substack.com/pub/dgardner... .....1/2

Trump: “American dominance in the Western hemisphere will never be questioned again." Listen to all the Republican talking points about the "Western Hemisphere." Putin has told Trump where his "sphere of influence" lies. As Canadians we should continue to be terrified by this new world order.

"Is anyone going to just stop for a second and be honest? This is insane. What the hell are we doing?" - @sethmoulton.bsky.social on the Venezuela operation

So heartwarming and positive. ❤️

Even before the dumpster fire that is now the u.s, I have never ever wanted to live there knowing how little that country values health care and women. #CanadaStrong

I am ambivalent about floor crossing. But I hope that a couple of the other dissatisfied Con MPs are staying just long enough to vote against Poilievre at the leadership review in January. Will he stay on as MP for Battle River—Crowfoot? Will THEY want him? www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/opi...

When Kory Teneycke is openly critical of your leadership style...you gotta be a bit worried about your future. FTR, Teneycke description is exactly right, with apologies to mean girls everywhere.

When MAGA women appear on media wearing crosses, spouting hate and lies, it is clear that the right has hijacked Christianity. "In their world, Christianity is not a message of love but a weapon of division. It is not a call to serve the poor, embrace the stranger, or turn the other cheek." 1/2

CBC in Canada is reporting on the G7 foreign ministers meeting. Marco Rubio is taking questions from reporters about Sudan, Ukraine, intelligence sharing. Meanwhile on @cnn.com it's all about Epstein which matters because there's an obvious cover-up. But it shouldn't be the only news.

It’s a fucking joke

Watching RFK Jr. press conference about menopause hormone therapy (MHT). He doesn't even get the name of the therapy right. Uses old misogynist label HRT. Get your info from experts like @drjengunter.bsky.social. chatelaine.com/health/hormo...

What a perfect way to spend a snowy afternoon in our hometown. At the AvonTheatre to see #SFGreenGables before it closes. Only 4 more performances left. Lots of laughs and some tears. A+ Matthew and Marilla.

"Nearly 1/5th of the federal budget goes to OAS, and costs are rising more than any other budget line item as Canada's population ages. Retired couples with incomes of $182,000 can get the full $18,000 OAS subsidy, while around 400,000 seniors still live in poverty." action.gensqueeze.ca/fix_oas

Words matter.

Invest in Canda. We have rule of law.

Strongly identify with these words from @wkamaubell.bsky.social: "Despite my interest in politics, I’m not generally that interested in politicians." open.substack.com/pub/wkamaube Wishing Mamdani all the best! Hoping he can be the kind of politician he wants to be.

It should surprise no one that Conservative MPs are "feeling disaffected with Poilievre's leadership style." Outside of a loyal base that appreciates his evidence-free, grievance-based rants, Poilievre does NOT appeal to Canadians. Waiting to see which MP leaves next. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Jennifer Siebel Newsom: I will not raise my children to think Donald Trump is an acceptable American leader. He is a con artist, a predator, a malignant narcissist, and the worst president in our nation's history.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Remember this.

Why do Americans accept the lowest life expectancy of G7 countries? Do they know? Their healthcare system based on private insurance is a stark contrast to healthcare around the world. www.theglobaleconomy.com/rankings/Lif...

I am most definitely *not* a Doug Ford fan/voter. But it is a good and effective ad. If the only way for Americans to get accurate information about tarriffs is from an ad paid for with Ontario tax $$ (very sad but apparently true), then it was money well spent. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...
