"I doubt NATO would be there for us if we really needed them". A reminder that the one and only time NATO invoked its self-defense clause was after 9/11, and our NATO partners have suffered over 3,400 deaths (not casualties, deaths) in Afghanistan.

This is nonsense. Majority minority places are fine. The only real downside for a decent white person is that the white racists will sometimes talk badly about your neighbors and expect you to feel the same. You don't have to do that though.

mad emperor shit

Canada’s Best Answer to Trump’s New World Order? Build Faster

From “e pluribus unum“ to “dominant predator force” — a story of decadence delusion and demise

The BC government will literally send you a cheque for owning a $2M home. I don’t think owners of $2M assets need property tax relief

"Predator" is the best Freudian slip/ Kinsley gaffe of 2026 so far.

#hfxws just went for quick walk in core, and surface that weren't totally cleared yesterday do not feel great, it's not bad but i did feel quite a few slip underfoot when i was trying to get momentum. this also applies to streets. note i'm glass wearer and with mist had low visibility... (1/2)

I know I'm on a sand foundation coming from a place with a "unless you dont want to" clause in our charter, but what is the point of writing all them words in the constitution if you're not going to enforce any of it?

For reference Alberta produces 4.3M barrels per day. So Trump here is bragging about getting handed about a week of Alberta’s production. Very Dr Evil “one MILLION dollars”.

What a f-ing second - the President will use money extorted from a foreign government to fund spending without any congressional approval? Forget the impact on Venezuela, this is full-blown dictatorship in the USA.

Only the shameless @fcm.ca could make this chart showing property taxes falling in real terms and blame everyone else for their members austerity crusade

I cannot emphasize enough what a bad assumption this is

I'm not sure if it would be sufficient to recover anything like the international standing that U.S. used to enjoy, but if nothing else public officials and regular people should be engaged in unified, unyielding resistance to Trump's neo-imperialism as a matter of personal honor.

Nuclear deterrence solves this.

Greenland is happening. Not a joke, not trolling, not a distraction. He has already made up his mind and nobody who matters in the inner circle will try to talk him out of it. Some of them want it precisely because it will destroy NATO. There are no adults in the room. They really mean to do it.

The cities that built the most new housing consistently saw the biggest price drops in older rental units. What can it mean?!?1? www.statesforum.org/january-book...

US oil company Donroe bump unwound. Easy come, easy Dongo.

i think im adding greenland to the "hes dying and wants to paint map" bucket

Could he be mayor of a small Canadian city? Just off the side of his desk?

If your city is struggling to cover infrastructure and service costs, consider that it is using its land incorrectly. Cities get their revenue mostly from land (property taxes). They are often very bad at understanding this. Comedically bad.

Hey. Hi. Hello. In the first HFX By Bike of 2026, I take you on a tour of the Dartmouth Harbourwalk Trail in... Dartmouth. youtu.be/zYGFsF34EZw?...

I can't imagine how difficult it must be to manage all this given pending trade negotiations, but given our own sovereignty isn't 100% certain with American aggression, our muted responses to various crises in the past week does lead to questions of what, exactly, our principles and strategies are.

A heck of a chart: in every single one of the 10 major US cities that built the most housing between 2017 and 2023, rents for older, existing units fell—often by quite a bit.

good post though i think the PMO should figure out why they didn't get to sign on the Coalition of the Willing document beforehand

My *extremely Canadian* explanation/theory for this is that GAC Coms couldn’t not get itself together in time to sign on. bsky.app/profile/luke...

Public Cafe Bar Bakery is now open on South Park across from the gardens in the former Fawn This is the latest from RCR

American is the most median voter country [derogatory]

Get in losers we're advocating for fiscally sustainable land use.

The arrest of Mark Carney will bring peace, prosperity, and freedom to North America Morning File by me

Do you have an outbreak of Winter Cyclists? Know the signs.

I know there are bigger problems these days, but Halifax-area folk (especially those in groups he’s already gone up against) need to be aware that our mayor said “who can the premier and I bring down together” as a positive statement in his end-of-year interview.

Joint European statement on Greenland. They moved quickly after Miller’s comments about annexation last night.

I tried to record my trip out to Burnside last night but I think my camera didn't like the cold.

Meanwhile, in Canada …

#hfxws Mixed bag of slippery-ness. Had to detour my run to the COLT as I couldn’t get consistent traction on sidewalks. I was surprised at the amount of cyclists who passed me along the trail!

Reminder that this claim of "72 jabs" is bullshit. And today's vaccine schedule has *fewer* antigens than the one we grew up with.
