Jagland helped Epstein help Russia. This was traitorous behavior

First, the UCP said there was an “election integrity crisis," which led to a voter ID law. Then a “national unity crisis” → a sovereignty referendum. Now a “crisis of confidence” in the courts → defunding judges. There is no evidence of these crises. The UCP is trying to manufacture them.

Seems real bad that the end point of ~25 years of War on Terror architecture is an agency of thin-skinned goons who will send armed men to your house if you email the government asking for compassion on behalf of someone else. newrepublic.com/post/206088/...

Blatantly unconstitutional. And anti-constitutional. What a fucking clown.

Horrifying and unnerving. DHS sent an administrative subpoena to Google for this retiree's records and even sent armed agents out to his house for the "offense" of writing the following completely anodyne email to a federal prosecutor using an email address he found via Google.

Such an important read from @tressiemcphd.bsky.social as she describes how all of this goes beyond protecting one’s data; it’s about protecting your rights from an authoritarian regime hellbent to demolish democracy.

Danielle smith repeats disinformation about 30 percent plus being in favour of this.

Calgary Stampede security ejected PressProgress Alberta reporter @stephenmag.bsky.social after Alberta separatist leader Jeffrey Rath walked out of an interview Stephen had questioned Rath's claim that Mark Carney was "threatening war on the United States" and invoked "Article 5 of the NATO treaty"

WAIT. That @jeopardyofficial.bsky.social question/answer was based on our team’s study!!!

“The United Nations has been anything but a friend to the Caucasian world. I mean, you're seeing disruptions in Europe, UK, Canada, New Zealand, Australia. Very little anywhere else. New World Order is after white Christianity by the looks of it, it seems to me. They're trying to replace us.”

Far from retreating, the Trump administration's dangerous crackdown on migrants is likely to get worse — more intense, more violent — not better. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

This might be true, but Carney's gov should still demarche the ambassador over this. Unacceptable.

Donald Trump is using the Donbas playbook to get revenge on Canada. We need to shine a light on the dark American money and interference that is driving the quisling crew in Alberta. This is not a game. My interview with @meidastouch.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_qM...

I am saddened at the news of Kirsty Duncan's death. A brilliant scientist, honourable politician, public intellectual I saw her wonderful mentorship of young scientists at Massey College. toronto.citynews.ca/2026/01/26/f...

The political press very clearly understands “truth” as a social agreement, a compromise position between everyone important enough to have an opinion. It did not reflect on how this would allow dedicated liars to go all-in on lies again and again and dramatically shift the position.

They can’t actually deescalate because the whole administration is staffed with edgelord trolls.

How exactly do you “climb down” from saying British soldiers were cowards who ducked the fighting in Afghanistan? It’s not a policy position, it’s a mortal insult! Another incredibly supine performance by the Home Secretary and the British establishment.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

The fact that every right winger with influence screams "who is paying for all of this" tells you exactly how awash in cash they all are, and how much they rely on that to keep their movement afloat.

"So even though I am still betting on the American future, I wouldn’t ask Mark Carney or any other leaders to simply keep the faith. I would just ask them to consider every step away from us in light of the potential destination and the powers waiting there." YOU ARE TRYING TO ANNEX US

Our initial analysis is up. The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot. He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.

It’s no comfort, but the official DHS line being “he can be killed by masked agents of the state because he had a legal gun” is such an interesting new frontier in how Trump has made the conservative movement very publicly and embarrassingly abandon every principal it once claimed.

Canadians took massive casualties fighting the American war in Afghanistan. Trump says we never stepped up. JD Vance says he's sick of our "sob stories". MP Jamil Jivani is best friends with Vance. Will he deliver a simple message from Canada? Trump and Vance can go F--k themselves. Never again.

Reading the new US defence strategy and honestly, I have a feeling that this was always the plan, but they are just being more open and jerks about it.

you can make it woker if you use big words the suits did not know to censor

1. They're aiming to interfere with the referendum. 2. "Independence requires the assent of Indigenous people" and other such legal and rational arguments won't hold water against U.S. attacks on Canadian sovereignty. 3. They're going to invent a bogus history of Utah Mormons founding Alberta.

Oh no, Canada doesn't have to pay a billion-dollar bribe to hang out with Trump, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar, Egypt, Israel, Turkey, Morocco, Hungary, Pakistan, Indonesia, Kosovo, Uzbekistan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Paraguay, Vietnam, Armenia, AND Azerbaijan

“I never thought the anarchic multipolar world would eat MY face” sobs Russian president who voted for the Multipolar World Eating People’s Faces Party

People who say this are clearly speaking aspirationally about a shared American creed they hold dear. “Have you heard of the Trail of Tears?” is not a very helpful response, because they probably have and the priority right now is moral opposition to fascism and not fake-educating each other.

As someone who studied International Relations, it is utterly crazy-making the way treaties are treated in the media as pinky swears between pals rather than, according to the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution, the “supreme Law of the Land”.

by the way, all of this, dozens of goons, weapons brandished massive teargassing of public space, people beaten in the street, destroying two intersections on either side of my neighborhood, horror, all seems to have been to create a distraction to abduct crying two teenagers who were here legally

Friends, I’d like to show @ucalgary.bsky.social that @bsky.app is where the cool kids hang out and that they should start posting here more and less/none at TheBadPlace™️. Show them some love by reskeeting this 100000000x. 🧪

If you haven’t yet read/watched/listened to Mark Carney’s speech at the economic forum, here you go: www.cbc.ca/news/politic... It’s very difficult to pick a favourite quote.

I had a great conversation with @jenstden.bsky.social yesterday about Carney’s speech which she writes about here. Bottom line: it is a good analysis but cuts to aid/GAC aren’t going to help us in this new order. Carney also needs to meet his words with action.

This self-inflicted destruction will have a generational impact and make us all worse off.
