Where's the 24-7 coverage on Trump's declining health, inability to stay awake DURING TELEVISED events, cankles, two MRIs, and lack of stamina? Where's Jake Tapper? NYT? Fox? Corporate Media?

Putin: ‘Russia is ready to keep fighting until the last Ukrainian dies.’ Western politicians & press: ‘Peace talks have stalled…’ Russia has zero interest in peace. Calling Kremlin demands for Ukrainian surrender ‘peace talks’ is just another way of spreading their propaganda.

Der Spiegel: Commander in Sleep

Remember Walkerton and the changes since to ensure water safety? “Municipalities run drinking water systems under strict rules created after the Walkerton scandal in 2,000, when contaminated water killed seven people and sickened more than 2,000.” No privatization of our water! #onpoli #Water

Almost everyone who touts the benefit of private healthcare is hoping to profit from private healthcare.

Rabid, deranged racism. But also projection.

🚨 CNBC on latest jobs numbers: "A big miss on ADP payrolls. The private payroll company saying private payrolls shed 32,000 workers in Nov. That's the 4th negative number in past 6 months. The estimate was for +40,000, so the street was off ... this may be coming from being hammered by the tariffs"

1. Jared Kushner's trip to Moscow yesterday was not just unethical; it was illegal. You cannot accept tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments and simultaneously conduct high-level diplomacy for the federal government. It says it right in the Constitution.

Mikey Johnson, Donald trump all use the same line...straight out of the dictators handbook.

Um, remember when right-wingers were screaming about Justin Trudeau’s alleged attempts to influence the prosecution of SNC-Lavalin? We don’t hear them yapping now about the Queen of Stupid Danielle Smith’s public promise to outright prohibit criminal prosecutions of gun offenders. Yee-haw! 🤷🏼🙄🤷🏼

Happy pandemicversary everyone! Really *enjoy* looking back on how society responded. Guess we’re never going to come together to acknowledge and mourn all the people we lost. Just keep going to work. Keep that engine running.

I'm optimistic that we're at least closer to a large scale realization of the structural causes. People are starting to recognize what's going on behind the curtain as the manipulation it takes to retain power gets ever more obvious. E.g. this kind of crap only works with the lights out 🧵:

Must be just peachy to live in a 🇺🇸country where firearm ownership in civilian hands is so widespread. It’s exactly what petulant piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre and his grisly henchmen in the Canadian Coalition for “Firearm Rights” want for 🇨🇦Canada: “Gun Culture”. 🙄 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Did Adriana Lagrange lie to cover up connections with the "Corrupt Care" scandal and recovery Alberta? Because back in March she was asked if Judge Wyants report would look into those concerns, and she said he would. But he said he wasn't allowed to... #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

WOW! In March, Danielle Smith justified not calling for a public inquiry in part because her new right hand man... (former #YEG Police Chief, Dale Mcfee) had looked into the corrupt care scandal The same one who the Globe showed was partying with Sam Mraiche! #abpoli #ableg

Danielle Smith Isn't Governing Alberta, She's Breaking It "Ungoverning." What Trump is doing. Breaking the machinery of government. The "deep state." The "administrative state." Or, as Canadians call it, public services. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli youtu.be/3Hn3Yu9I92o

It’s so wild how the wealthy are destroying the Amazon that potentially has the cure for all the cancers in favor of an Amazon that’s creating new types of cancers

Our pretend facts are just as good as the real thing. If not better.

IMPORTANT: “I boarded Montreal’s brand-new light metro line for its first voyage. From the front of the driverless train, the crowd got a privileged view…The journey was not just a tour of the REM’s 14 new stations, however—it was a preview of the most ambitious transit expansion in North America.”

A fair question. 😕🇺🇸

Remarkable story of a Georgia high school team who used CRISPR to make a rapid diagnostic test strip for Lyme disease, speeding dx from 2 weeks to days www.cbsnews.com/news/teens-m...

A bit of Canadian humour right here.

"These wealthy corporations are looking for a handout of taxpayer money, not to support the global transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, but to build questionable technology that will allow them to continue mining bitumen in the oilsands" www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Time Magazine apparently thought this SATIRICAL quote from @thebeaverton.com was true. Hoekstra: "'A Canada that it would be very easy to target with 500% steel tariffs, or one patriot missile aimed at Parliament Hill,’ he added, rather incredulously.'" Says a lot about media, & the times were in.

I'd like to see data over a longer period of time (a good reason to keep speed cameras for now without issuing tickets), but the preliminary numbers don't look good for creating safer streets. #ASE www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/arti...

Airbus recalls “significant” number of A320 jets after flight control incident.

Amazon employees in over 30 countries are walking off the job today as part of a global protest called “Make Amazon Pay”. They’re demanding the company honour workers rights to unionize, improve environmental sustainability and raise wages. This is the biggest disruption in the company’s history.

Yes, today is a massive consumerism day — biggest of the year. If you’re someone fortunate enough to partake, consider picking up an extra toy, article of clothing, gift card, or food item that you fully intend to give away to someone in need and do it. #cdnpoli #uspoli

great thread getting into the details of how chatbots hallucinate and why people fall for it

"This means that the US is going to recognize Russian conquest (validating it) and it seems that European states might be expected to do so as well. This is the end of the European system as we have known it since 1945 and actually is a direct repudiation of the principles of the UN."

Why carbon capture and storage (promoted by Oil & Gas as well as their captured politicians) is not a real climate solution #cdnpoli #abpoli #bcpoli #canada #green #climatecrisis davidsuzuki.org/what-you-can...

"Under Trump, the United States government is now weaponizing travel data and using covert surveillance systems to track where people are going. Covert cameras are being installed across major routes to scan license plates, monitor movement, and quietly flag vehicles…" youtu.be/XvKFKW4rSVc?...

I wrote a bit about this many years ago on Twitter-that-was: the algorithm has gradually eroded "here's what you want to see" by replacing it with "here's what we'd like you to want to see." It continues to trade on its former reputation solely due to inertia. Underneath, it's all ads.

"The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... & some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself." -- William Blake, born #OTD 1757

Elizabeth May's pitch to him is actually pretty good :) www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Yes. Exactly. We have a massive shortage of anesthesiologists (and OR nurses)! The private facility drain has already massively impacted our hospital staffing. We have empty ORs EVERY day in all major hospitals.

From the DM’s… A very reliable source tells us that Danielle Smith with be recalling recall with new legislation early next week. Right after the UCP AGM. Another Smith bait and switch. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

The Russian army is exhausted too. Russia is taking far higher casualties than Ukraine, and after 3.5 years has barely moved the front line. The idea that Russia is “winning” is simply not supported by the evidence. As I told DW News.

🧵 Thread: Who leaked the Witkoff–Ushakov call? Apply Occam’s razor. There’s a lot of speculation about who leaked the Witkoff–Ushakov call — Europeans, Americans, Ukraine, “someone hacking WhatsApp,” etc.

1/ Hoekstra’s statements are mind boggling and supported by Americans. Hoekstra: Canadians shouldn’t be upset about becoming the 51st state - it’s a compliment. Canadians: No country on 🌎 sees a foreign country seizing their country as a compliment. It’s to take our natural resources.

Canadians can avoid these higher fees (family of 4, $400 - EXTRA) by visiting Canadian parks instead. Well done, America! #protectionismisbad ———————— Higher fees for foreigners visiting US national parks stokes tourism concerns

"How many Russian drones did it take to shut down European skies? About 5. How many drones are over Ukraine? About 500. Every night." Great speech by @reiniervanlanschot.volteuropa.org. More decisive action is needed to protect Ukraine, and Europe, from terror. u24.gov.ua/nafo-dark-ni...

Putin is 100% propaganda, zero substance. Zelensky asked if the people wanted elections last year and the parliament unanimously voted to keep Zelensky. Every accusation a confession from Putin, who has zero legitimacy & murders his opposition, time & again. Oust this trafficker’s headline cycle.

Let’s get them to run our pensions! Nothing could go wrong! It’s organized crime. Berta Nostra.

Yea but isn’t gravity still just a theory?

Great ACCR study: Shell actively lobbies to increase demand for the stuff it sells, even though using more of it causes more destruction and damage to our lives. ie: Suppliers create demand. And so putting a leash on supply is vital for climate. www.accr.org.au/research/com...
