#Denmark needs to remove the US base in #Greenland so long as the United States is under the control of a lawless autocratic regime with serious plans to invade & pillage, once allied nations. Pay attention, 🇨🇦. It is now Russia, China AND THE US, posing the biggest #CdnNatSec threats. #cdnpoli

Bob Rae: "We do have to wake up. This is not business as normal. And this is not politics as usual. You don't go around threatening peaceful countries like Denmark and Greenland. You don't go around threatening your neighbours, like Mexico." 🎥 Credit CBC News ❤️🍁🇨🇦TEAM CANADA FOREVER🇨🇦🍁❤️

...aaaaand we're back to not staying at Hilton. apnews.com/article/ice-...

We need to throw RFK Jr. and everyone going along with him into jail for the rest of their lives, and we need to make it a day one policy. They are killing children with this. There is NO scientific basis for ANY of what they’re doing.

“No room at the Inn” is a biblical reference about immigrants (Jesus’ parents) being turned away. Not the government. Way to go, Hilton! The 3rd Amendment protects private entities from having to house the government.

Chris Murphy: "At some level he's winning tonight because clearly part of his intent here was to distract the American people -- you and I -- from what's happening here at home. You have 20 million families who are getting massive increases in their healthcare premiums. People will die."

Utah commissioned it's department of health to do a systematic review of gender affirming care for trans youth. In a 1000 page plus report found it was beneficial and the evidence was substantial. The lawmakers rejected it anyways. www.deseret.com/politics/202...

LifeLabs was sold to a US company, now they are laying off workers in areas where they are needed. As the article says, “Medical laboratories are a cornerstone of our health care system” This guy. 😡 #Canada #Ontario

Is it not clear that a muted response to Venezuela—a failure to push back by those with powerful platforms—will further convince Trump he can keep going & invade another country? Did we not learn the pattern in 2016? “When you’re a star, they let you do it.” www.americaamerica.news/p/this-is-wh...

Pres Claudia Sheinbaum invokes the UN Charter against Trump’s Venezuela invasion. Mexico’s message: No nation is safe if international law is ignored. I love her..

NEW: An Ontario court has thrown out the province's attempt to overrule an order from the privacy watchdog over Doug Ford's personal cellphone. A panel of three judges agreed he uses it for government work and must release those calls. #OnPoli globalnews.ca/news/1159745...

"Putin’s world has just become more harmonious. Not because, as conspiracy theorists would have you believe, Putin tells Trump what to do, but because these two autocrats really do view the world in the same way. We have a saying for this in Russian: Two boots make a pair."

Stories built on "U.S. officials," especially ones published just hours after an action, are rarely the actual inside story. And papers shouldn't be playing like they are.

It's like a toilet that brags about how much one on one time it gets with the owner of the house.

I’ll be borrowing this

Canada's position in the world has never been stronger and we have America right where we want them: We are now in the position to threaten to withhold season 2 of Heated Rivalry.

Nixon insisted the bombing of Cambodia was just targeting Viet Cong outposts there and not meant to undermine its government, but the bombings destabilized the Lon Nol government and paved the way for the Khmer Rouge’s killing fields and the massacre of more than a million people.

Carney is right to worry about a bad trade deal, but he should be even more worried about what happens when the US starts demanding that Canadian leaders fall in line, or else...

Canada's response on Venezuela is both right, and wrong. It is right to call for all parties to adhere to international law, but the problem is that the US clearly is violating it. Canada needs to be explicit about this, because the US is not just violating Venezuela's sovereignty.

Typically when the US embarks on an illegal or dubiously legal regime change we use noble words about democracy, rule of law, spreading freedom, etc. to justify our actions. Trump has not done that. He offers few noble words as eulogistic covering. It's a crass power & oil grab, according to Trump.

A company that's been locked out of major markets like the US and Canada has ridden its habit of "making good cars" to the pinnacle of the EV business, while Tesla, with full access and subsides everywhere, is declining due to its "an asshole company that makes bad cars for assholes" strategy.

Polio Pierre with a frightening response. Toss that fucking man out of the CP. He’s a bootlicking Trumper and a traitor to Canada. I said what I said.

Pro tip for all international leaders: Pack a Go Bag today.

Taking bets on whether Carney posts his Venezuela statement on Bluesky too

This is a real tweet from our official opposition leader. The Conservative Party of Canada is framing something clearly illegal as respectable. It's an invitation from the CPC to the Trump govt to meddle here. In fact, it might even implicitly signal that Poilievre *welcomes* US interference.

I don’t think Machado realizes that engineering an installation by Trump without a democratic process is going to sink her legitimacy and credibility and turn a good share of the non-Chavista Venezuelan people against her pretty fast. It’s the ultimate Faustian bargain

I sure would hate to be an oil-rich country whose sovereignty the US doesn't recognize within easy striking distance of US soil. That would be scary!

Now would be a really good time for our PM to … say something

Our failure as an industry to grasp how little people understood the difference between commentary and news is one of the biggest reasons trust in the industry has eroded. A network head seemingly not understanding this distinction is troubling.

News is not a “daily conversation.” News is news. If you want a daily conversation, go to your local coffee shop.

It’s old-fashioned to defend mainstream journalism these days but some of the most reliable reporting from people actually on the ground will be the AP and Reuters the next 24 hours. Your Substack journalist writing takes will be using frontline reporting from them.

It’s a meaningless scoop. Trump posted the story himself on social media. A real scoop is getting information Trump doesn’t want you to have.

So for months they have tried to blame the entire fentanyl crisis on Venezuela and the indictment only mentions cocaine, which they pardoned a different guy for weeks ago

After four years of shouting about Ukraine and the sanctity of national sovereignty, EU Commission's Ursula von der Leyen (@vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu) won't condemn the attack on Venezuela by Putin's ally Donald Trump. What will the European Union say when United States attacks Greenland?

She’s an idiot and she’s evil. She’s an evil idiot. Ffs, is she hoping the same for Canada?!

Elliott Abrams specifically wants this, as does his network. It didn’t begin in Trump term two. Began with Iran-Contra and continued through multiple admins, including Bush and also Biden, who installed Abrams as an advisor in 2023. Same horrible people with same horrible plans for a half century.

RIP Dick Cheney, you would have finally found something to like about the Trump presidency (illegally overthrowing a government for oil)

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Venezuelan President #NicolásMaduro captured following 🇺🇸 strikes on Caracas, Trump says. #LowEnergyHitler is tipping us all into WWIII. NO AUTHORIZATION BY CONGRESS. If this illegal insanity isn’t stopped, U.S. is under full authoritarianism - wielding the most powerful military in human history.

I have zero sympathy for Maduro and his regime, but there is no legitimacy in Trump deciding to bomb Venezuela. It’s pure imperialism, which gives imperialists in Russia and China an excuse to use whataboutism to justify their own insane actions

Far too many people I know rolled their eyes when concerns were voiced about this possibility—said the military would never follow illegal orders😒

It is to Canada's shame we have not spoken out or supported a Canadian judge being sanctioned by the US Her life is frozen. She cannot use credit cards, travel, move money, or access email. This is not sustainable www.irishtimes.com/world/us/202...

AI is a virus.

I really think we are just not at all prepared for the tsunami of social harm that "AI" is about to dump on us.

Ontario has the fewest hospital beds per person of any province in Canada. Ontario funds its hospitals at the lowest rate per person of all the provinces. We deserve better. #OnPoli #OntarioHealth

Seriously, my friends - 💙

It is terrible that Trump and Hegseth are ordering the wanton and unjustified killings of civilians, and doing so in our name. It is terrible that Republicans in Congress are unwilling to stop or even investigate them.

if you still use Twitter please understand that you are enabling and supporting this. It’s only going to get worse, so you may as well leave now and start rebuilding your “following” anywhere else.
