There is nothing in the NATO Charter that requires a member-state to join wars of aggression started by another member.

Wab Kinew: "I hope this war in Iran ends. These gas prices are too high and kids are being killed for no reason. Even the Trump administration cannot explain why they're at war in Iran right now. The Epstein file seems to be as good of a reason as anyone else can figure out. So stop the war."

America is a great place to visit and most Americans are very nice, outgoing people. However, if you are considering visiting the US from a foreign country right now, you have rocks in your head.

At the Canada–Nordic Summit in Oslo, we worked with Nordic Allies to deepen our collective security, especially in the North.    In a more dangerous and divided world, partnerships like this make each of our nations safer, stronger, and more prosperous.

The leaders of five Nordic countries — plus Canada — have gathered in Oslo for a mini-summit to discuss strengthening defence capabilities in the face of higher international tensions, including recent threats by the Trump administration to take over Greenland. #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

This was Kathleen Wynne in 2018. She warned us. “Ford sounds like Trump & that's because he is like Trump. Ugly, vicious, a brand of politics that traffics in smears & lies. He will say anything about anyone at any time. Because just like Trump, it is all about him." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Don’t let Doug Ford’s Captain Canada act fool you; he’s as Trumpian as they come.

In Norway, Prime Minister Mark Carney reaffirmed that Canada will maintain its sanctions against Russia and its ghost fleet of oil tankers, despite the U.S. decision to lift its own sanctions for 30 days. "This is not the time to take the pressure off Russia."

I am begging my fellow Canadians to take a break for a second from obsessing about American corruption to focus on our home grown versions. Ford is a corrupt crony goon who has done countless shady backroom deals. He wants to remove one of our most powerful tools to hold him accountable. Fuck that!

"One cannot understand the Iran War without understanding the Kahanists. But I rarely see analysts mention them. Maybe they did, and it was behind a paywall. If a war crime is subscription-only, does it make a sound? Is that sound a stifled scream?" sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/the-no-wor...

Heads up! A Freezing Rain Warning has just been issued for Ottawa. #ONStorm

#ONstorm #QCstorm ice storm update. 5-20+ mm of freezing rain, with the chance of up to locally 30+ mm. Note: Not all freezing rain will accrete or build on surfaces, as winds, rate of precipitation and surfaces all are taken into consideration when determining ice accretion.

Significant and ‘potentially critical’ freezing rain possible in Ottawa, Outaouais regions. #onstorm www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...

A Special Weather Statement has just been issued for a potential Freezing Rain Event Wednesday in the Ottawa area. #ONStorm

#OntEd school boards have been taken over and are still in debt. It's not a "spending problem". It's a funding problem. Local school trustees do not have the power to protect a system from that level of underfunding.

A good backgrounder on the role of school trustees. Nothing is perfect, but they play a key role in local democracy, accountability and helping parents navigate the system. “What they do and what happens without them?” #OntEd www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Sometimes, speaking truth to power means picking your time and place carefully. German Chancellor Merz said later he had told Trump very clearly that he could not conclude a separate trade agreement with Germany or all of Europe but not with Spain. #Europe #Spain #Germany bbc.com/news/article...

War for the Epstein files

In these uncertain times, it is important to remember who we are as Canadians, & what we cherish. For me, I hold dear the right to be an individual whilst belonging to a society that collectively strives to be just, fair, & inclusive. We are far from perfect, but we are good.🇨🇦

The Epstein Files are so bad that the men in the Epstein Files convinced the man in the Epstein Files with Nuclear Codes to start a war with Iran to distract the world from the Epstein Files.

DOJ removed, withheld Epstein files related to accusations about Trump : NPR www.npr.org/2026/02/24/n...

Reminder: Watergate didn’t collapse because the people in power decided to tell the truth. It collapsed because reporters kept digging and the public refused to look away. Iran-Contra didn’t unravel on its own either. It unraveled under exposure and pressure.

The U.S. can’t be trusted to lead the peace process. Meanwhile, Europe, Canada & the rest of the Coalition of the Willing should help Ukraine to defeat Russia by arming the Ukrainians to the teeth whilst collapsing the Russian economy with sanctions. www.thewhig.com/opinion/u-s-...

NEW: The association representing Ontario's school boards say it hasn't received any official consultation or communication from the Ford government on the future of elected trustees. It's urging an open, transparent conversation. #OnPoli globalnews.ca/news/1169042...

Just awful. I’m old enough to remember when Heinz pulled out of Leamington, Ontario and moved everything to the US. Haven’t bought Heinz since and won’t buy Crown Royal ever again either. #ElbowsUp www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

So Ford and Calandra are still "discussing" whether they will get rid of English language board school trustees? Is Doug Ford emperor? How about this is a fundamental enough change to local democracy that it should be put to the electorate? #OnPoli #OntEd

Ontario still considering eliminating school trustees. Time’s a tickin’ Great post from Hal below. Locally elected trustees insulate the provincial government from much direct criticism. They’d be crazy to eliminate this essential level of local responsibility.

I wonder if Gary Bettman is wishing he’d never agreed to allow NHL players to take part in the Olympics.

Team USA’s gold medal celebration was everything the NHL has been trying to avoid. The NHL spent years investing to expand an inclusive fan base. One game and the nonsense arising after the game changed all that. What a hot and unnecessary mess. www.sbnation.com/nhl/1104402/...
