This is astonishing. The UK finance minister who hired Carney glowingly raves about him many times in a way all Canadians must hear. “If I was sending someone on behalf of Canada I’d want Mark Carney because I’d say this is the moment we need our most international statesperson.” 1/3

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”? But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"? Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

I just read an analysis that the best way to tell the Liberals are still losing is the number who aren't running for reelection. So what does this indicate? www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

If there's a plan, it's this: The rich believe we're doomed, and they honestly see no point in providing vaccines and medicines anymore because we're all going to die anyway, so they're just going to plunder the government for their own last hurrah. www.the-sentinel-intelligence.com/p/the-super-...

Canada doesn't allow convicted predators into our nation. This initiative from NDP leader Jagmeet Singh to bar Trump from the G7 will send a clear message.

Everything he says about deportation camps on military bases is spot on—and alarming. But don’t get thrown off by the name Blackwater. It’s still out there—rebranded. Blackwater became Xe in 2009, then Academi in 2011, before merging into Constellis in 2014. The name changed but the op lives on. 🧵

"In the land of the blind the one-eyed man is King." Here is my piece on how Trump is undermining the "Five Eyes" Intelligence network. He is leaving America dangerously alone while picking stupid fights with allies. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Workers in DC are fighting to block Musk's minions. "About 100 Federal employees and supporters...blocked the doors to...‘data miners’....The small group of young men eventually left without entering after the protesters would not let them near the front doors." dcmediagroup.us/2025/02/02/f...

Donald Trump has just stated that the tariffs will stay on until Canada ceases to exist as a nation. From here on in, my priority is Canada. All other considerations are secondary. Trump will never win. He will never break us. Canada. True. North. Strong. Free. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTvS...

“The U.S. relies on imports for over 95% of its potash fertilizer needs, with nearly 90% of that coming from Canada. “No substitutes exist for potash as an essential plant nutrient." croplife.com/management/l...

Tariffs will shut down North American auto production within a week, the industry warns. Canada’s auto sector exported $51 billion worth of vehicles in 2023 and 93% of them went to the U.S. Within days, the entire industry could shut down.

Elon Musk thinks the campaign to end Apartheid was the original DEI program.

It’s notable that labour—who will be most affected by tariffs—are advocating a strong response. Yet business owners like the Shopify CEO and chambers of commerce are critical of the strong response. I’m gonna side with labour on this one.

France will double its defense budget, – Emmanuel Macron. He urged other EU members to join this effort, and "identified seven key factors where Europe must act together."

Elon’s response to a post simply naming the 6 people he has working for him inside our government. Apparently, it is a crime for the American people to know who they are.

'God help us!' Ex-FBI terror expert fears Trump's left 'no one home' if attack comes: A former high-ranking FBI official warned that President Donald Trump had left the U.S. wide open to a terrorist attack with his administration's latest move. The president's former personal defense lawyer Emil…

Dear J. D. Vance, Canada was there to support Ukraine while your boss ingratiated himself with Putin. I know you have friends in the Canadian Conservative party but don't mistake their spinelessness for how other Canadians will react in defending our sovereignty. #strongasfuck

Astrakhan gas processing plant stopped working after a drone strike - governor of Astrakhan region. This is one of the largest gas chemical complexes in the world and the largest enterprise in Astrakhan region of Russia. The plant produces gas, diesel fuel, technical sulfur etc.

Anti-ICE protesters in California have shut down the 101 freeway in Los Angeles marching towards City Hall.

They say that 1939 Britain stood alone against a despot. That's not true. Canadian kids were signing up in the thousands. We were there to defend British skies. Now Canada stands alone in the face of despotism.and there is crickets from our European allies. But we've got this. Canada. #strongasfuck

Calgary steps up. Of course they would. We come together across this vast and beautiful land to defend our nation from a thug. calgarychamber.com/calgary-cham...

OK, I am making the commitment: I am going to stop drinking Miller High Life. The champagne of beers is no longer my cheap but refreshing lager of choice. Step forward, Canadian beers.

In two weeks Elon Musk infiltrated our Treasury Department computers. And three months ago when we suggested he interfered with our election, you shamed us for stoking conspiracy and told us to move on. All we had to do was a simple audit and we could have prevented all of us. What a waste...

This is the cowardice of The New York Times. Legacy media is failing.

This was an historic speech. It will be a lasting marker of Biden’s presidency. While Joe’s delivery can be bumpy the written words and what he is saying is extremely powerful! www.nytimes.com/2025/01/15/u...

The stories that are killed for no reason can really eat away at you. In fact, I quit a job once because of this. I’m glad Rachel got to finally tell this story:

Love this current New Yorker cover…

This from the Washington post Editorial board is correct

AN interview with a fearless MP. I love working with @lisamariebarron.bsky.social She takes no prisoners. Suffers no political fools. She works for her people with passion.

It seems suboptimal that, as climate change threatens to upend civilisation, the dominant Western political ideology is predicated on the belief that any attempt to work collectively is dangerous and evil.

I fear there is deep truth here.

Right on cue, the company that insures the insurers reports that "no one is really safe from the consequences of climate change."

Elaine McCusker, Frederick W. Kagan & Richard Sims of American Enterprise Institute make the obvious case that the US has a strong strategic & military Interest in a Ukrainian Victory. www.aei.org/research-pro...

Under the GOP's SAVE Act, Tribal IDs would NO LONGER be accepted as valid identification to register to vote. This is a direct attack on the voting rights of Native American communities. #StopTheSAVEAct social.demcast.com/s/EC9Y1x2d

As Sir David King of @climatecrisisag.bsky.social has pointed out, the US is the world's leading petrostate, and perhaps more importantly the source of what I'll call petroideology: the worship of big oil. The current moment is a somewhat less subtle expression of this, but it's wholly consistent.
