Yeah this is something that NDP stans in Canada should internalize. When folks like that yell at me for liking Mark Carney, or accuse people who voted Liberal as being just as bad as the Poilievre Conservatives, that doesn't make me want to go back to the NDP; it makes me laugh and dismiss you.

Canada: *acknowledges that the World exists* USA: "what the fuck" USA: "how *dare* you?"

Should I post a list of resources for both US and Canadians to get in contact with unions orgs? (You would be surprised about how many people find it difficult to do this!)

everything is gender and we are being held back by the widely held belief that being a woman is bourgeoisie

Boycotting their booze is insulting and disrespectful, but repeatedly threatening to invade and conquer Canada is just sparkling diplomacy, I guess.

Trump threatened to invade and annex multiple NATO nations. Now he is trying to blackmail members of a defensive alliance into joining his illegal wars of aggression. At a certain point, isn't the damage caused by allowing the US to remain in NATO greater than the damage caused by kicking them out?

GET HYPE!

As we see how the Trump regime is approaching the CUSMA review (demanding unilateral concessions from Canada in order to even begin negotiations), the PMs strategy to focus on trade diversification really makes sense, and the strategy of Poilievre to focus on repairing US ties looks laughably naïve.

I gotta say, it's super funny how the US, which has been dragging its heels on military support for Ukraine ever since Trump got back in, is now in the position of requiring military support *from* Ukraine in order to defend their Mid-East assets. Real American Century of Humiliation stuff.

lmao, eat shit. I really think Canada should just walk away from US negotiations altogether, and focus on the rest of the World. At least until after the mid-terms. It's not like we can trust any deal made with the Trump US, obviously. So what's the point?

Local Dems discover Will to Power. GOP outraged.

I feel like it's not all that deep. To certain types, "rural voters" is just code for "real voters" which is just code for "white voters".

The implicit media consensus is that urban voters should not be able to overrule rural voters, but that rural voters should be able to overrule urban voters, an assumption so axiomatic and unquestionable that nobody even understands they're making it.

Agreed. It's the democratic equivalent of lead in the drinking water. The longer we wait to remove it, the more lasting the damage will be.

Wind West with the top score! Nice! I really want to see that get built, and I'm actually somewhat worried that because Tim Houston tanked his popularity with the recent NS budget fuckery, he could actually drag down support for the project by association.

In all seriousness, Carney could probably dust-off and reuse some of the old WW1-era Union Government posters with only minor updates and edits.

I turn 40 in less than a month, and I read this post just after I dutifully topped-off the water my little DIY solar birdbath which is one of my most treasured mental health appliances, so yeah. Co-signed.

This ridiculous Conservative narrative that Carney got elected in order to "get a deal with the US" is just such bad-faith nonsense. The Carney plan (diversifying trade *away* from the US) is not only understood intuitively by basically everyone, it was front and centre in the election campaign.

HOT MARITIME CORRIDORS IN YOUR AREA

Awesome thread detailing all of the solar projects Canada is getting built in 2026. I've groused about this before, but the push to build a national green electrical grid is probably one of the most transformative projects currently happening in Canada, and it gets almost no attention whatsoever.

I've been lucky enough to work on FROM as a background actor for a few years now, and it has been *such* a blast. Really great people involved, from top to bottom, and Harold Perrineau in particular is a super nice guy. Can't recommend this show enough!

blexas and blississpi would probably destroy the GOP's fighting spirit

Mississippi is on @runforsomething.net's Battle Up list for a reason -- we believe with sustained investment and smart plays, MS can be a long-term battleground. There's potential here 👀

Trump may be the current avatar for US Fascism, but he would not have been able to get where he is without massive institutional collusion, and support from the US media and electorate. When Trump is gone, the evil will remain. Pretending that Canada can ever go "back to normal" is totally foolish.

sacré bleu!

We spoke with Khn and Klek about their band Angine de Poitrine. “The concept behind this project was to take a satirical approach to rock music. The double-neck guitar was the perfect choice to make fun of guitar heroes.”

The thing is, he was able to build these grand schools more cheaply than schools had been built in the past through the use of steel skeletons (extremely uncommon in low-rise buildings at the time) rather than structural masonry. He also copied school plans to cut design costs.

There's actually a fun story behind this: the guy who was NYC superintendent of school buildings from 1891 to 1923 was an architect who believed in holistic learning, and wanted to inspire kids to rise out of poverty by giving them a sense of the possibility of granduer through construction.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars. We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director. Please stand by for more.

Whether it's JD Vance telling the Pope not to stick his nose in Theology, or Pierre Poilievre claiming that Mark Carney is bad at Economics, we are truly living through a Golden Age of self-entitled mediocrities whose only move is projecting their own inadequacy upon their critics and opponents.

Remember how a key feature of the recent Hungarian election that ousted Viktor Orban was the building of a broad cross-ideological anti-corruption coalition? I feel like that detail is going to be important, going forward.

"We're not going to fund any security until we see some better security around here!" is a deeply trump-brained sort of tactic.

I like to approach writing like mining, and editing like refining. When you're writing, the job is just to keep digging. Don't worry about quality, just get the the words out of your brain. Then, later, you can sift through it all, and separate out the Good Stuff from the rocks and dirt.

History major here. This isn't funny. Canadian Prime Ministers only invoke the War of 1812 when under extreme distress.

“I don’t have to worry about the whole, ‘Oh you’re a woman, blah blah blah, you can’t do anything.’ There’s no such thing as that. I am a powerful woman here and I can do whatever I want.” - Shomoukh Wael Mejjallid, 23, born in Saudi Arabia, moved to Nova Scotia in 2012. Now a Canadian citizen.

This conjures a memory of the best mayor NYC ever had. Here's the Little Flower, reading the funny pages to kids on the radio and loving his job as Mamdani clearly does. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGFT...

Man, I love Spring. The apples I didn't pick up last Fall have composted in place, the leaves I didn't rake have broken down into mulch, the dead plant stems and twigs I didn't collect are cozy homes for emerging pollinators. All around me are peaceful testaments to the virtue of Not Doing.

Do you eat Quaker Oats?

The CPC is incapable of elevating their politics to meet Canadian culture, so they are determined to degrade Canadian culture until it matches their politics.

Iran blockades the straits in response to the United States blockading the straits in response to Iran blockading the straits. As we are now all in agreement there should be a blockade, I see no reason to why our two nations’ navies cannot cooperate in the blockade until we surrender to ourselves.

I regret to inform you that the Straits are at it, again.

The degree to which the Canadian government is absolutely pantsing the Trump admin on trade is one of the real bright spots in geopolitical comedy lol

Personally, I'd have stopped flying to the US after one of their air traffic controllers crashed our plane into a fire truck and killed two pilots, but hey, whatever gets you there.

"Does he think China's going to buy his stuff?" - US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, on Canada and PM Carney. Meanwhile:

Descartes: "Cogito Ergo Sum" DHS: "Oh yeah?"

So, to recap: - Thousands killed, billions spent - Iranian regime entrenched and hardened - Sanctions on Iranian oil exports removed - Iranian assets to be unfrozen - Iran has de facto control over Strait of Hormuz - US troops rationing food due to supply line failure - Uranium? I barely know 'em!
