Finally.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

For non-German speakers: “Dear media, I can’t stand the headline "No agreement between the US and Denmark” any longer. If an armed man storms a bank, you don't run the headline: "Robber and cashier can't reach an agreement on money transfer." Stop framing imperial aggression as normal diplomacy.”

The cuts to Canada’s foreign aid budget are a tremendous own-goal, even when it was such a pitiful amount to begin with.

Govt of Canada Communication: THEN vs NOW

Mr. @mark-carney.bsky.social, why is your government posting to X — the deep-fake porn harassment app — instead of banning it?

Conservatives often seem unable to grasp the threat Donald Trump poses to Canada, and cheerleading the Venezuela affair fit with that. With Greenland, Mexico, Colombia and Cuba maybe next on the agenda, everyone needs to ask, why wouldn’t Canada be, too? www.thestar.com/politics/pol...

The fuck is this. Our two largest parties are 1) actively cheering illegal kidnapping of a president and 2) acting like a kicked dog in the face of US aggression. It’s pathetic cowardice, not leadership. And this cowardice puts our country at risk. We need actual options in the next election.

Did you get the new cellphone you were looking for? Make sure you recycle your old one! "There are hundreds of thousands of cellphones lying around. They have coltan in them. Coltan is often illegally mined," Dr. Jane said, "leading to the destruction of the rainforests." Photos: Fernando Turmo

Yes! This is how @mark-carney.bsky.social can meet the moment: by standing up for sovereignty and rules-based international law. We must do more than give Trump a slap on the wrist while saying it's ok because Maduro was a bad. Which country will have a bad leader next? Could be Canada.

Norway’s Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide: "International law is universal and binding for all states. The American intervention in Venezuela is not in accordance with international law."

The fact that the Canadian government's official statement on the president of the United States illegally invading a foreign country does not include the words "President," "United States," "illegal," or "invade" really tells you all you need to know about where we stand, tbh

America has launched a risky, belligerent, and illegal action to oust a brutal dictator. The rest of the Americas have a responsibility to make sure things don't go from bad to worse — and that means making sure Venezuela has real, democratic home rule. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

If Canada was the 51st State this would be our Vichy Gov’s official statement:

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

Does FIFA revoke its inaugural peace prize? Pull the World Cup from the States? How about both??

Breaking:

This reality check should be driving all Canadian coverage of Venezuela today. And, the last time a US president mused with invading Canada, he switched to Venezuela right after.

Cancel the LA Olympics, scrap the World Cup, the United States cannot be a trusted part of the international community so long as the White House operates this violently and with impunity.

We have to impeach him.

Who's going to attack the White House and remove Trump from office??

Being profoundly upset about the 51st state stuff was not an unreasonable reaction.

Waterloo Region is about to shoot itself in the foot with a new hospital decision, so I wrote a blog post on why locating hospitals is so important, and the *many* better places they could put this one. open.substack.com/pub/nextmetr...

I was in New Orleans a year ago when a guy used a pickup to kill 14 people and injure dozens more. Turned out to be an omen for the state of the world in 2025.

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

"If Canada could ever truly consider itself a climate leader that claim was burnt to the ground with Prime Minister #MarkCarney 's recent federal budget dismantling much of the country’s existing climate policy framework, the disastrous #MOU with Alberta & damned near invisibility at #COP30" #abpoli

Dr. Jane always said that hope isn't passive. Instead, she said that hope was something we created through our choices, our compassion, and our courage. As we end the year, we want her reasons for hope to continue inspiring us and guiding us forward: Video: McGill University

When you use AI, you should be required to pay for the use of water and electricity upfront so people can see the real costs of these "free" services.

Nope. Not unless we want to continue to see more of those ever-larger vehicles take over our roads. Much like the 70s energy crisis saw vehicle size decrease, causing 'pinch points' for over-sized vehicles can impact consumer behaviour. www.therecord.com/opinion/colu...

A choir singing Christmas carols, while people go skating Remember when this was a parking lot?

Hidden away quietly in this document; 6 years later, we’ll finally see the temporary speed restrictions at Traynor removed, allowing full 70 km/h ops (currently 20 km/h) on the hydro corridor #wrLRT

This is a good video for anyone wondering why the US as the #1 producer of oil would want Venezuela's oil. The answer: our refineries want their oil, not our oil. Can we please just move on to green energy and stop invading countries and mass murdering for this shit?

Psst. Tourists. Canada won't ask to see the past 5 years of your social media. Plus we are a freaking beautiful and awesome country from coast to coast to coast. Come and see!

December 6, 1989: An armed man killed 14 women and injured 13 other people at École Polytechnique. Fuelled by misogyny, he claimed he was "fighting feminism". We must never forget the horror of that day. I'm honoured to be joined by community leaders to name the victims. #CallItFemicide

universal basic income solves or significantly mitigates almost every serious problem in modern society, which is how you know the powerful people against it are benefiting from Your Problems

25-year-old Eli Wood, a Wilfrid Laurier student, has been missing for 6 wks. Concerned community members have organized a ground search this Sun Dec 7 from 11:30am - 2:30pm not far from his last known location. Consider lending a hand. Learn more at www.facebook.com/groups/1156553859879048/.

The Ontario PC govt spent more on public advertising in the run-up to Feb’s snap election than any other Ontario govt in history, the auditor general has found, pushing commercials with a message that “promotes the governing party.” #FordIsCorrupt #onpoli #cdnpoli globalnews.ca/news/1155560...

The police often argue that they can't be everything to everyone, but then seek ever-increasing growth and expansion of services. There will simply never be enough. www.therecord.com/news/waterlo...

It also clearly shows that Carney bent the knee to Danielle Smith to get nothing in return. This MOU will not secure interprovincial peace, and it won't mollify Alberta separatists, and instead he's threatened his whole climate framework and pissing off every other province. Complete amateur hour.

Good work by @althiaraj.bsky.social on the inside story of Guilbeault's resignation, from his being frozen out by PMO, given false assurances, and being made to wear the government walking back on pledges he made to Elizabeth May to secure her support. No kidding it was untenable for him to stay.

The Doctor is right and correct

America, It's Not You, It's...

More sustainable, more competitive, and more independent can't be built on fossil fuels now. That boat has sailed. Renewables NOW unless we want to be left behind.

The arrogance of Americans on full display to explain why Canada is so upset with how our traditional ally and friend is treating us. Trump picked the fight. We're just not backing down and folding.

Honolulu sounds like Toronto and Nairobi
