Incredibly important that this happen. National security isn’t sports betting.

I will never get over people saying Kamala campaigning with Liz Cheney meant she was more neocon than trump when he was openly campaigning with Rubio

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.

YES, A FAILED IMPEACHMENT MEANS REPUBLICANS APPROVE OF TRUMP'S CONDUCT. THAT'S THE WHOLE REASON TO DO IT

Science is good. We should fund it.

very easy political win for the level of government who chooses the Mamdani Approach: “we will competently and reliably take care of this problem”

"I am responsible for this and I will fix it. You can see me do it."

Reminder that Viktor Orbán & former Cdn PM, Stephen Harper, are friends & members of the far-right IDU, along with Pierre Poilievre's CPC & JD Vance's GOP. You're known by the company you keep.

#IDUPlaybook, turnips.

When Ford and his bagmen are finally tossed on the curb (or provided… intimate, government-provided living quarters), the first job of the next government must be righting these egregious wrongs. Bring back democracy. I’ll fully support whoever I think can and actually will do it.

👇👇👇 Ontario has been post-democracy for quite some time now. Most Ontarians have no idea. As intended.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

Pierre Poilievre demands Ottawa cancel gasoline taxes to offset sky-high prices from Trump's war on Iran (which Poilievre enthusiastically backs). He doesn't want to discuss the true culprit: oil industry profits. My take in @thestar.com: www.thestar.com/business/opi... #cdnecon #canlab

Angus: This is a president who says the only constraint on his actions is not Congress, not the courts, not international law, but, quote, “my own morality, my own mind.” There is no morality in a man accused of being a rapist…

When someone tells you who they are, believe them.

The reason necropolitians like Carney should scare everyone is the underclass they've decided are already dead will almost certainly one day include you. We saw it during the pandemic with the elderly and sick. We see it with the unhoused and drug users. If anyone is expendable, everyone can be.

Carney doesn't care about the tens of thousands of children Israel killed in Palestine. He doesn't care about the people in Lebanon Israel is killing now. These people are already dead to him, their actual deaths don't change his world. He'll talk about wanting peace, but he doesn't care either way.

This is what it looks like when an entire political class is composed of necropolitians, people who have decided that some classes of people are already dead and therefore they have no meaningful objection to their actual deaths.

It's clear there is nothing Israel could do that would get Canada's political class to stop supporting it. Israel has been committing a widely documented genocide for years, has slaughtered tens of thousands of children, and most Canadian politicians are absolutely fine with that. They don't care.

"To put it bluntly, an X post today receives less than 3% of the views a single tweet delivered seven years ago." If you think it is necessary to be on Twitter to communicate your fact-based worldview, the reality is that worldview is being smothered.

Montreal Member of Parliament Alexandre Boulerice is calling Canada’s decision to bar Rima Hassan from entering the country “a blatant case of political censorship” by the federal government.

The moral of the story is of course, always try to one up your friends. You might change the world in the process. Finally, if you're one of those who've never heard of this magnificent book about our fishy ancestors before, don't feel too bad- after all, Samuel Pepys wishes he hadn't either.

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

🚨 Israel is refusing to adhere to the regional ceasefire in Lebanon. If anything, it is intensifying its strikes. In just a ten minute period, there were over 100 airstrikes across the country. Hospitals are overwhelmed with victims. Don't look away from Lebanon.

Antivaxxers own this. Infectious disease minimizers own this. Immunity debt proponents own this. Media who platform minimizers own this.

A “ceasefire,” unless Netanyahu feels like continuing the war whenever he chooses. “We are ready to resume the fighting at any moment.”

the real ceasefire is the insider trades we made along the way

If everyone survives until tomorrow, we should consider a national Day of Ignoring, depriving the maniac of the only thing he seems to love, attention, by talking about literally anything other than the mad president.

Left is NYT with 20 days in a row with 2+ above-the-fold stories about how we got crushed and it was all Biden's fault (withdrawal was necessary & messy) Right is NYT with its cute both-sides story about Trump claiming victory (despite getting crushed by Iran)

The media are right-leaning and getting more so. Maybe we should think of doing something about it cepr.net/publications...

Here's a photo of her with some of Canada's best and brightest during the Ottawa occupation...

I get that "defund the police" may not be a viable political goal in the US, but letting private equity have their way with the police seems like a reasonable compromise

Israel doesn't just have different aims from the US, it has aims antithetical to the US. It's not really an ally, it's a rogue state accelerant.

your reminder that Ro Khanna spends his India visits palling around with literal nazis and supremacists and takes money from organisations affiliated with them for his political career and then comes and cries about the state of democracy in the USA for cameras

these people are constantly like this. "oh whats your plan for getting impeachment if we dont have the votes?" they ask, like this is some brilliant gotcha. you push for the right thing. when the other guy opposes it, you beat them over the head with it. this is basic-ass politics.

Every sensible government will spend the coming months accelerating the deployment of solar, batteries, heat pumps, and EVs, especially for lower income households. It’ll be a hell of a lot cheaper in the long run than subsidising fossil fuels the next time prices spike, which they will.

Wise words from Spain's Prime Minister: “The momentary relief cannot make us forget the chaos, the destruction, and the lives lost. The govt of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket. What is needed now: diplomacy, international law and PEACE.”

Every time they get a little stability somebody - sometimes us, sometimes Israel, sometimes Iran, sometimes Russia - wades in and ruins everyone's lives for years at a time. It stinks.

This Guardian story from 2020 asked: "Why would a man in his 40s, whose main business was real-estate development, want to host a beauty contest for teenage girls?" I think we know the answer. Release all the Epstein files. End the Trump cover-up.

Before I became an American, I was Lebanese. Parts of my family live in Lebanon. Anyway, you don't need those bona fides to feel this way, but what is happening in Lebanon right now is a complete outrage. The people there, who mostly are just trying to carve out a living, don't deserve this.

The Laurentian Elite is still hand-wringing over Avi Lewis and I wonder why if he’s not a threat “A truly populist message of policies that would benefit the working class could reshuffle the Canadian political landscape” www.hilltimes.com/2026/04/08/h...

😕

Every Democrat should be saying “remove Trump” and making a legislative push for it. They aren’t.

A ‘hornets’ nest’ in the making: Anti-fracking coalition report slams N.S. premier’s $30 million push for onshore fossil gas development By @joanbaxter.bsky.social

"Thousands of innocents – including hundreds of children – dead in Lebanon and Iran for no reason." with alt-text

Trump went from making insane genocidal threats this morning to hyping the “golden age” of Iran hours later, and he received no concessions in between. He’s an absolute basket case who needs to be removed from power before he follows through on one of his mass murder fantasies.

Now Ron Wyden:
