Starmer: "I will not permit, I will not commit our military personnel to unlawful action. That is not what they would expect and deserve. They are entitled to better than that."

Jasmine Crockett isn’t mincing words! Families aren’t enemies! Seeking safety isn’t a crime! Masked raids & fear tactics aren’t “law and order”. They’re cruelty dressed as policy! Justice isn’t terrorizing communities! Human rights don’t stop at the border! #SheShed #StrongWomen

Manufactured chaos, distraction or sheer ignorance - for years people have been sounding the alarm about Trump. What’s next⁉️ #Epstein

"…Iran is also not an isolated case. It is the seventh country against which President Trump has ordered unilateral use of force while in office. That should be a blaring alarm for a middle power like Canada." in-sights.ca/2026/02/28/5...

Just have a think about energy The latest report from Ember, a global energy think tank, says the way we measure energy can distort our understanding of the transition now underway. The paper highlights why accurate energy accounting matters for public policy and decision-making. In the video…

Hey Congress!! United States Constitution (Article I, Section 8)Congress holds the exclusive power to formally declare war, authorize the use of military force, and raise/support the armed forces. How does it feel to be nuetered? What are you doing? SERIOUSLY! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING????

Untitled ...The contrast with our language on Ukraine is stark. For four years, Canadian officials have rightly called Russia’s invasion an “unprovoked,” “unjustifiable,” “illegal” violation of the UN Charter and of Ukrainian sovereignty. Yet when the United States and Israel launch large scale…

Median case is this accelerates the decline of already faltering linear television networks as viewers abandon them over perceived or actual partisan shifts. So the question becomes, what are business models that can support newsrooms to replace the reporting muscle?

imo the threat posed by CBS News and CNN getting absorbed by pro-regime billionaires isn't that they're going to produce right-wing slop that convinces people to be right-wing, it's the dismantling of newsrooms capable of doing investigative reporting on the administration. Fewer eyes on the street.

IMO this must be a priority if we ever get MAGA out of US government.

Which family will become the first trillionaires, Musk or Trump? in-sights.ca/2026/02/28/t...

The first trillionaire! Oxfam frames Musk’s potential trillion-dollar fortune not as a milestone to celebrate, but as evidence of a system that increasingly rewards extreme wealth over broad economic fairness.

Clean renewables – the cheapest way to create electricity Too often, the default approach is to maximize immediate wealth from non-renewable resources and defer the long-term consequences. That choice effectively transfers environmental, economic, and social costs to future generations. The…

Affordable housing is a major problem, with many Canadians struggling with high costs and the inadequate supply of suitable homes. Can this be changed? Can Canada learn from other regions? The answer to both questions is a resounding YES! canadawestforum.org

Smile Trump, the hockey guy.

BC Hydro must prioritize low-impact renewables If B.C. is serious about building a resilient and forward-looking energy system, its public utility must invest more decisively in the innovations already being studied here at home. The University of British Columbia Okanagan Campus has the…

Just to kind of underline it - to much of the world, America the political entity is increasingly an unreliable ally at best and a direct threat at worst. It is not a great time for those Americans who don't want to be viewed that way to adopt the language of those who do

At the risk of moving into the discourse a 2nd time today, the fact that a lot of Americans in the replies see this as a bit of fun trash talk between rivals kind of illustrates the extent to which maybe a lot of Americans aren't reading the room in how they are viewed internationally at this point

The United Nations leader Antonio Guterres warned in his final in-person address to the U.N.'s top rights body that "the rule of force" was spreading, as the powerful trample on international law and attack human rights.

Like leaders in other parties, BC NDP leaders have shown they will override policies advanced by the party's members when they conflict with executive priorities. Internal debate exists — until it becomes inconvenient. in-sights.ca/2026/02/22/i...

Iron Law of Oligarchy An IN-SIGHTS reader reminded me of the work of Robert Michels, a sociologist best known for creating the Iron Law of Oligarchy: All complex organizations—regardless of how democratic they start—inevitably develop into oligarchies, where power is concentrated in the hands of a…

Not just any syndicate but a transnational, global one. These are @sarahkendzior.bsky.social words. She’s been writing, speaking, and addressing this subject for over a decade.

Good to finally hear people saying it.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested at Sandringham home

BREAKING NEWS: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, reports say.

Worldwide we're seeing those involved with Epstein step down or getting arrested (The prince now known as Andrew was arrested earlier today). The US, still nothing. Republicans can fuck off with their nearly always unfounded accusations of others being pedophiles when the don't deal with their own

Alberta's Ministry of Education says it is blacklisting CityNews unless it agrees to the UCP government's demand to unpublish a news article and publicly apologize to them

I keep coming back to @sarahkendzior.bsky.social writing "It's a transnational crime syndicate masquerading as a government" in "They Knew", and realizing that even if it applies more to some, it applies some to all. We need a reckoning; we've been led by criminals for basically my whole life.

My books were all bestsellers. People read them. Officials didn't ACT because they were protecting a criminal syndicate of pedophiles. I know it's more comforting to believe that "no one knew" but most people knew: the general public and the perpetrators and the officials protecting the latter.

Sarah Kendzior said it first, her book : Hiding in plain sight This is a transnational crime syndicate masquerading as government.

Are Americans just lazy and don't care? We have the most corrupt, incompetent, criminal president in history. Yet, it seems like people aren't outraged about it.

And per @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social last night on The Last Word: “As of tonight, the most powerful force we have in this country to defeat the most powerful crime syndicate in history remain the voters of the United States of America.”

Shortly after it went up, my post about the Trump Crime Family has been reposted and liked many times on Bluesky and zero times on X. This can only mean that political censorship is alive in Elon Musk's twitter. in-sights.ca/2026/02/18/t...
