New Stephen & Steven podcast! We talk about how American exceptionalism keeps them from clearly seeing themselves as the world sees them, and Canada's stealthy plan to have military & trade alternatives in place when it is finally time to cut the US ties. #cdnpoli www.podbean.com/ew/pb-ii8z4-...

This weirdo bs has been going on since before the pandemic. We had convoys rolling around ring roads in Alberta being A-grade asshats back in 2018 already. It ebbs and flows according to how lucrative a grift it is but it shows no signs of going away. #cdnpoli

And they have squandered the privilege of that alliance. Shame … #cdnpoli

Anyone else remember when "someone" selectively leaked parts of the Walkerton inquiry, to manipulate press coverage and help cover up how the ideological extremism of Ontario's Conservative government killed people? There's no legitimate reason for them to be manipulating access like this.

Evil. "The government has ignored repeated warnings, based on data, that the rapid expansion of surgeries in CSFs has been increasing wait times in public hospitals for critical surgeries including lung, prostate and colorectal cancer, and children’s organ transplants,” thetyee.ca/News/2025/11...

I was honored to speak at a conference “Intent to Destroy: Confronting Russia’s Campaign to Erase Ukraine & Its People” at Georgetown. The mere suggestion of amnesty for Russia's war crimes and genocidal actions against Ukrainians, contained in Trump's 28-point plan, is an unconscionable obscenity.

From the Insight Monitor archives (and bookclub!) here's a book worth reading this weekend to understand how the US government is deploying financial chokepoints, but also how this could hasten its demise and fray relations with partners & allies. newsletter.insightthreatintel.com/p/chokepoint...

"You can agree or disagree with him, but Polanski does not pretend to be something he is not. He is unusually willing for a politician to give a straight answer to questions. Does he want to rejoin the EU? “Yes." observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Convoys gotta convoy.

That sounds like a pretty serious escalation.

Morally I'm against everything do to with these people. Maybe except if we sell them something. The rest, I'm not for it.

"A senior Canadian official told CBC News that in Johannesburg, Canada is looking at raising funds with other countries, pushing the country's critical minerals and promoting building more ad hoc groups of nations." www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

We’re building big things, and the UAE wants to build with us. They’re going to invest $70 billion in Canada — putting money into key sectors like critical minerals, AI, and clean energy. This will create thousands of new careers, enable critical research, and help build a stronger economy.

Brookings reports China is preparing broader export controls—not just on critical minerals, but on key technological inputs and potentially semiconductor chips. A wider tightening would reshape supply chains fast. zurl.co/fbxvf #China #ExportControls #Semiconductors #Geopolitics #goodrevenue

Today, the 🇫🇷 Embassy in Ukraine stands with the Ukrainian people in commemorating the millions of victims of the Holodomor. This tragedy ensures that we cannot turn a blind eye to Russia's barbaric and unjustified aggression against Ukraine, which poses a significant threat to global food security.

I had to go over to the other place and watch this video, because clearly this has to be a misrepresentation of what happened. Reader, it is not.

⚡️ 'Rewarding Russian butchery' — US lawmakers rail against Trump's Ukraine peace deal. "Rewarding Russian butchery would be disastrous to America’s interests," U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell said.

Hi All, just sent out this (mostly free). The Long Con of the Trump administration came to an end yesterday, as it was always going to do. We are back in the Oval Office with Trump and Vance ambushing Zelensky. The whole pivot to Ukraine was a sham to help Putin. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.” It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

I am on the ground, speaking to voters weekly… MTG doesn’t surprise me and I know there will be more. It’s the economy. It’s high prices and stagnant wages. It’s so many unhappy with an oligarchy. It’s folks looking up rather than side to side. ‘26 is going to be big for Democrats.

Turkey has issued a number of NOTAMs for the Black Sea covering 23, 25, 26 November and 02 December, all are surface to unlimited & run between the hours of 2100 & 2259. Officially described as "GUN FIRING" I think these may relate to planned missile tests from the launch complex at 41.93N 28.04E.

Ukraine has returned 31 civilians from Belarus, including men and women sentenced to 2–11 years in prison. The youngest is 18, the oldest 58, and some are seriously ill. The Coordination Headquarters thanked the U.S. and Donald Trump for helping secure their release.

The US "peace deal" was literally written in russian and then translated into English. Any chance this actually gets reported in the US?
