America's white-skinned fascists go full Monty on racism.

Unprovoked attacks on a sovereign nation. Very Putin. Very Monroe Doctrine. Very America. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/u...

Trump: “If he loses, we are not going to be generous with Argentina.” "In Argentina, those comments were taken by many as a clear attempt by Mr. Trump to put his thumb on a sovereign country’s electoral process." D'uh. And he will try it wherever he can. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/w...

A 3,000-pound, 17-foot-long "DEMOCRACY" ice sculpture is melting away on the National Mall today, a statement from activists and artists on the weakened state of American democracy under the Trump administration. www.huffpost.com/entry/democr...

Ok, I admit I don't understand the last column. But I can fully understand the first two: government debt as a % of GDP, government revenue by the same measure. Canada comes out looking more solvent than any other country the Economist surveyed. France, though... 🤯

'Death wish' Before and after the Hamas-Israel 'war' (really one atrocity in provocation, followed by another in retaliation), this: open.substack.com/pub/luciantr...

This is amazing.

'China Has Overtaken America' This is entirely evident. For the majority of Americans however it is literally inconceivable... their propaganda-fed minds cannot compute that they are anything less than *the* global superpower. Canadians are capable of seeing it. open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

Netanyahu: can I please have more bonbs for my genocide of Gaza? tRump: *shoves a massive pile of bombs and military hardware at Israel* Netanyahu: *eventually runs out of people to genocide* tRump: ok, NOW can I has Peace Prize?

We'd better build more AI data centers, AI will fix this problem for us -- *waits five years* The oceans have boiled and the drinking water is gone but at least all the intellectual property has been stolen and now I can use AI to create a really accurate representation of Batman fucking Pikachu

Fascism comes to America carrying a bible: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/u...

BIG NO on this, @mark-carney.bsky.social

TrumpBarbie Smith is actively working to turn Canada into the dumpster fire that is raging just over the Great Lakes and 49tjh parallel. Please, Alberta, stop her.

This is the first publicly released polling on Alberta education issues from a professional pollster in a while, and the results are super interesting. ARI poll suggests contract dispute support for teachers: 58% Support for AB govt: 21 % Neither: 18 % #AbLeg #AbEd

Country with massive housing shortage not sure what to do with all these empty office buildings

Sounds like Queensland is Australia's Alberta.

I will believe that Israel has given up its ambition of complete genocide or expulsion of the inconvenient heirs of the original owners of the land on which it stands, when it stops doing shit like this.

"Six killed after US strikes another boat" As though they were causally unrelated. Let me fix it: "US kills another six in boat." There. (Also an example of why I came to despise what CNN pretends is 'journalism') www.cnn.com/2025/10/14/p...

"Hopes"? You're the premier, FFS, Dave. You could send your negotiators back today.

"The public outcry suggests that China may still struggle to attract the world’s best and brightest scientists, even as the United States has cut research funding and pushed many prominent scholars to consider leaving." Hey there, best'n'brightest: Canada! www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/w...

At the end of the day the economics will win. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/b...

Worth a read for the whole thing. Remember these folks are moving up in the party.

Assholery as global policy... Trump’s Trade War With China Catches the World in Its Crossfire www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/b...

Seriously? F++k you, Westjet. This isn't 'expanded choice'. This is extortion by way of physical torture. 'The Sun's' headline writer, meanwhile, is either geographically illiterate, or American. WestJet is a Canadian airline, not an American one. www.the-sun.com/travel/15337...

"Trump’s Knesset appearance was occasioned by the ostensible end – for the moment – to the US-backed Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip, which has over the past two years officially killed more than 67,000 Palestinians. [T]he real death toll may be in the vicinity of 680,000." -- Al Jazeera

Another American hero.

America's sex-predator-led administration, tragically, is doing its evil best to bring back the world where they do.

Lost in the ongoing bonfire of the democrats in the USA, another blow from the amped-up climate that both America's puppet and his Kremlin puppeteer deny is happening. Storm runoff waters washed this bus under the station roof in eastern Mexico on the weekend: (El País)

🪶 Alberta’s new motto: “If you can’t fix it, bury your head in it!” 😂 From science denial to crisis dodging, this Venn diagram says it all. Nothing to see here… except everything. 🤦‍♀️🕳️ #AlbertaPolitics #DenialOfScience #OstrichLogic #NothingToSeeHere #ABleg #ABpoli #DanielleSmith #FireLaGrange

"When civilizations were open to influences from migrants, when they let people experiment with new ideas and innovations, they prospered. This required tolerance of pluralism, as well as institutions and norms to restrain rulers’ arbitrary use of power." www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

The Economist. Ever the realists in the room.

This is true for seagrass beds in many areas along the BC coast. They need to be respected and protected.

Just a reminder that Wikipedia is the only remaining reliable source of information that right wing billionaires can't control. (Although they'll never stop trying.) Please donate to them whenever you can. Even a little bit helps. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

🤣 They almost sound human.... www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/s...

The kind of thing the USA used to do (think Hoover Dam) and no longer can. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/b...

One of the most reliable indicators of a dictatorship, right now, just across the Lakes and south of 49.

Canada needs a national strategy and resources to become resilient to the new fire normal.

And yet another reason not to give time or support to the malignant descendant of a once honourable party that is now led by the otherwise unemployable perpetual adolescent, Pierre Poilievre. He wants us to be more like the U.S.A. Hard no, PP.

Americans americaning again. This is the country that Pierre Poilievre, Danielle Smith and other republiCONservatives want Canada to be more like... Um, yeah, no.

I very much agree with this argument. 'Black and white' binary thinking is the enemy of understanding and managing (as best one can) reality. Nothing is simple. It's all one interwoven field of colours. This is true at personal as well as community scales. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/12/o...
