First of all, I am personally not opposed to Canada increasing military spending so we can at least put up a better fight. But I cannot help but think that my own ideas about this, along with the ideas of so many others, are out of date.

Trump’s treatment of Machado is a perfect example of the futility of sucking up to fascists. They do not give one shit who’s kissing their butts.

The lesson that we are being taught here (among others) is that borders are only for some people and not others

I don't know how many more examples we need of the entitlement built into men's hockey in this country.

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

What are your favorite memoirs--as works of art, independent of celebrity, history, or how inspiring the story is--of the last five years?

You just have to do the right thing when the opportunity presents itself. You might not get the chance again.

The weak response from Can, EU and UN to Trump's flagrant crimes in Venezuela is striking. It exposes that much of the world has been cowed. Most notable exception: the Latin American left. That is why the Trump Admin has gone to enormous lengths to defeat the left across the continent. 1/3

book people: someone recently recommended a book called "Life Beside Itself." i found two versions of the ebook on Kobo dot ca. One is $16.99. The other is $33.99. Same publisher listed. Same "details." What gives? Ideas?

1. Venezuela 2. Greenland 3. Canada

The world must boycott the World Cup and the Olympics. It is both the only moral choice and will actually get the attention of these dead-eyed clout demons.

Canada finally reacts, through our foreign affairs minister (not our prime minister). Really, embarrassingly timid statement when you consider what just happened.

and like that, we're no longer talking about the fact the president rapes and traffics children

"international law must be followed" is european for "thoughts and prayers"

It’ll be cool to see how long the US lets Canada have its own government.

Halifax Regional Police, Halifax Public Libraries are still on X.

Good morning from Canada, a country whose border Trump has called an “imaginary” “artificial line” established by an illegitimate treaty. I’d like to be spared your nuanced “Were Trump voter’s racist with fascist inclinations or just low information voters with fascist inclinations?” debate today.

The Canadian government should view this as an attack on both international law and Canadian sovereignty.

grok didn't say shit. Grok is not sentient. This is you helping musk escape accountability for this shit. Journalism fail.

What they don’t tell you about telling you vs what they tell you about not telling you.

Favourite Peter. He was a sailor on a big ship.

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...

So many awful people are going to be upset when Mamdani actually improves life in NYC.

I am really fucking angry about the state of the world. Democracy is collapsing. The climate is collapsing. This was all possible to avoid. I am fucking furious.

Agreed! Cdn gov departments and representatives should drop their X accounts.

Reminder that one of the very first things Carney did was cancel an increase to the capital gains tax.

Guys. I’m pretty sure Björk might be, like, really really cool.

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.” In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

“It’s not really a stomach ache, it’s just how I am.”

Everyone drives way worse than me

today is for the ladies to have fun. its new years eve not new year's steve

Hey you know what this year fucking sucked.

He is so brave.

Now that the Americans are sick of his bullshit, David Frum has decided to turn his attention to Canada. Well he can get fucked.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Multiple ppl in the last month have asked me which A.I. I'm using to fact-check my Beck book I always sit there and experience a minor panic attack at the idea of feeding my highly confidential, proprietary, unproofed text into some scumbag's lawless word-eater And then I change the subject

The thing that jumps out to me here is that Bari Weiss thinks it’s been a “slow news week”.

🎶Simply having a miserable Christmas time!🎶

Blessings to Richardson airport in Winnipeg. It knows how fucking miserable I am right now after days of delays and cancellations, and it’s trying to save me from social media brain rot by kicking me off the free wifi every 15 minutes.

I did not sleep well last night, as I was afraid I’d sleep past 5 am, which is when I’d need to get up for my 7 am flight. I’ve been up since 3:30. It’s now 8:30 and my flight does not leave for almost 3 hours.

I was supposed to fly out of Winnipeg at 7 am. Since 5 I have received 7 text messages from Air Canada notifying me that flights and connections have been cancelled or delayed.

Everyone involved in the publication and promotion of this book should be embarrassed. It's not a "harsh truth" that COVID mitigation was a mistake, it's ghoulish and false.

I am begging the British to cease saying “chube” without further delay.

Canada is one of the eight countries that today expressed its solidarity with the people of Greenland and Denmark in the face of threats to their territorial integrity from Trump and his newly appointed Reichsstatthalter for Greenland, Jeff Landry.

🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump’s military takeover of Chicago will not go forward after the Supreme Court Tuesday upheld a lower court ruling halting his attempt to send hundreds of National Guard troops to the city. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Canadians: If you cannot see how Greenland is a practice run at Canada, I don't know how to spell it out for you.
