The Writ's vote and seat projections are now live! Nearly one year since the kick-off of the last election, the Liberals are in a much better position today. www.thewrit.ca/p/liberals-w...

Doug Ford saying he wants his government's communications and decisions kept secret from taxpayers because "communist Chinese!" is an editorial cartoon without the drawing.

Governor Newsom responds to Trump’s attacks on people with learning disabilities:

Tuesday morning coffee in a mug that leans, found at a charity shop. Made me smile. Fitting for today. Warm weather yesterday & we are back to snow & minus temps today. It feels lately like everything in the world has tilted. All we can do is our very best to hang on. That’s Tuesday’s Tao.

Oh! Len Deighton has died. If you’ve never read any, you should. #booksky

Perfect from @cathywilcox.bsky.social

Wouldn’t it be something if Venezuela wins the whole thing? What a victory that would be. #worldbaseballclassic

Thanks to whoever made it.

9:00 p.m. out the bedroom/office window. Just when you think you’ve turned the corner, Mother Nature says we’re still doing this winter hokey-pokey.

@brucefanjoy.bsky.social has the best tweet of the month.

Fairy cap? Fairy skirt? Umbrella? An imagination is a wonderful gift. #bloomscrolling #flowerphotography #imagination #tulip

"A significant Israeli ground offensive would have devastating humanitarian consequences and could lead to a protracted conflict. It must be averted. The humanitarian situation in Lebanon, including ongoing mass displacement, is already deeply alarming." www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/stat...

Ford is such an embarrassment. #cdnpoli #onpoli

Point Benzie. #cdnpoli

OMG anyone who thinks Poilievre’s auto policy is a good idea is ruining their reputation b/c it is the dumbest thing thought up in a closed room without any research

Rob Russo on Conservative Order of Canada petition for Don Cherry: "I'm not sure what the gain is. It almost looks like an own goal."

Filter? What filter? 🤦🏼‍♀️

Without going to Washington where this “message” would need to be heard to have any effect. Poilievre could have saved the travel costs and sent an email. #cdnpoli

Some things don’t change - No matter who is sitting in “the conductor’s” chair on “Power & Politics” - I still mute Kate Harrison - for the sake of my blood pressure & wellbeing. #pnpcbc #cdnpoli

Starmer: "We will not be drawn into the wider war ... we cannot allow the war in the Gulf to turn into a windfall for Putin"

Such disrespect - but we already knew he is devoid of any filter, any empathy any decency.

Shades of the “Access Hollywood” tape.

J.P. Tasker leading off “Power & Politics” calling Poilievre’s new proposal for auto policy his “most substantial auto policy to date”. Listening to PC Labour Critic Kyle Seeback discuss this, he’s as out of touch re Trump & the threat to our auto industry as Poilievre. #cdnpoli #pnpcbc

Defence Minister David McGuinty announces Canada's intention to join NATO's STARLIFT network: "This will allow NATO members to deploy satellites and other space systems at a moment's notice in response to evolving defence and security needs. And they'll be able to do this from Canada."

Defence Minister David McGuinty on Iran: "Canada was not consulted before the prosecution of this particular war. Canada is not involved in the prosecution of this war and Canada has no intention of being involved in the prosecution of this war."

Good to hear. Keep repeating that please. #cdnpoli

Defence Minister David McGuinty announces 10-year, $200 million agreement as part of Canada's sovereign launch program: "Canada needs its own space capability. But it's not only satellites that are critical to the defence and security of Canadians, it's access to space itself."

Thank you Andrew Nichols for correcting Trump when he said NATO countries would never help the US - mentioning Article 5 when Canada and other NATO countries did come to the aid of the United States after 9/11 when many of our brave men & women service members lost their lives. #cdnpoli #cbcnn

Listening to the rambling, babbling coverage from the WH on CBCNN. It’s disturbing - the head of a world power so incompetent and incoherent. And it’s dangerous for the entire world.

Trump says he is “sort of” confidant that France will help with reopening of the strait of Hormuz, thinks the UK is willing too but says “US doesn’t need anyone, and that he is asking to test them”; then says “we don’t need to help with Ukraine”, and blames Biden for the aid to Ukraine.

Statement by the leaders of Canada, France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom on the escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah

Reporter: Can you tell us which countries are on their way? Trump: I rather not say yet. We have some that are really enthusiastic, they're coming already, they've already started to get there. It takes a little while to get there

One day I'm going to tell young people that it didn't always used to be this way.

Our Sovereign and the Commonwealth remain an enduring part of our national story — pillars of continuity in a changing world. An honour to meet with His Majesty King Charles III today in London.

Thinking about that 3-year-old and his tablet sailing down the slide, I wrote about that this afternoon. You can see it here. www.everydaypossibilities.ca/blog-1-1/the...

“Every problem has a solution, although it may not be the outcome that was originally hoped for or expected.” - Alice Hoffman And ever the optimist, I've learned that sometimes that solution is better than what was hoped for or expected.

NATO wasn’t created to help Trump distract from the Epstein files.

No need to say who he means. We all know 😉

Laughing at all the conservatives angry that Europe isn’t helping Trump’s illegal war in Iran. He tried to steal Greenland like a few weeks ago. Europe had to put troops on the ground to stop him. Why the fuck would they help him?

Pet peeve - phone calls that are strictly voicemail - eye doc's office called to change an appt. & left 2 messages - one not my name & one my name. One is really mine & someone at this moment has no idea of the change. I'll call & leave the office a message. What's wrong with speaking on the phone?

Good question. This reads like - "If we say it, they will come." And the president of the US is no Ray Kinsella.

Monday morning coffee starting the day with laughter. But. Taking a page from a 3 year old who just acted in a way that seemed logical to a young mind. What if I did the same? No, not pitch a tablet down a slide. 😉 What if I trusted my instincts & didn’t overthink things today? What if you did too?

NATO is a defensive alliance whose main goal is deterrence, not a mercenary force

I’m Luigi Palazzini, a Canadian and I support this message.

The Emperor has no clothes. Amazing to see all these nations openly rejecting Trump's demands on the Iran war. You alienate, belittle, berate and think you operate with impunity, then expect a helping hand to fix your arrogant mess. The world community is rejecting America. #cdnpoli

‘Mr. Nobody Against Putin’ Director: “This is about how you lose your country — through small acts of complicity: when a government murders people on the streets, when oligarchs take over the media… we all face a moral choice. But even a nobody is more powerful than you think."

Something light to end the night. I have gifted so many copies of “Goodnight Moon” and I read it nightly to my own children when they were young. Think I’ll print this out & include it with every future gift of the book 😉

Turns out Trump’s secret plan to open up the Straight of Hormuz was to beg Europe to do it.
