Among the nice surprises in today's 🇨🇦 jobs report: Manufacturing added 9K jobs in Oct despite Trump's attacks. That puts us above 0 on a year/year basis. Compare that to the self-inflicted LOSS of 78K manufacturing jobs in the US. Trump's trade war backfires for US workers. #cdnecon #canlab

You know how everyone said that ICE wearing masks and not showing ID was going to lead to criminals impersonating ICE to do bad things? Well, it's happening. from @dell.bsky.social and @carolinehaskins.bsky.social

Too many people who had similar priorities to my own pre-2016 haven't grasped that the stakes are much different now. Publicly owned grocery stores and free busses are silly ideas for New York. Accelerating fascism is an existential threat to America. Silly ideas are survivable. Fascism isn't.

Congrats to everyone who put Republicans in charge "for the economy," the first three quarters of 2025 already had more layoffs than any of the years in which Biden or Obama was President except 2009 (when Dems were still cleaning up the prior Republican mess). www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

So, new rule for tonight’s watch party: everyone takes a shot after each Blue Jay run! 😁 #Jays #CanadianClub #CC

Canada looks pretty good in these cross country comparisons

Paying attention America?

Well this is a gut punch. I was just extolling the virtues of his books to my tutorial students this week. What a loss for the field and his family. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Is this YOUR AMerica??? #Nokings #noICE #democracy

When they tell you they plan on throwing out the constitution, believe them.

NYC doesn’t mess around. It looks like they’ll be ready on Day 1 if the Trump regime attempts to occupy their city. More than 100 unions, faith leaders, and community organizers have pledged to stand with occupied cities, resist the regime, and protect New Yorkers. Read their full statement here:

Michelle Rempel Garner of course.

NEW: Vehicles registered to Doug Ford's cabinet ministers have been caught by automated speed cameras more than 20 times. In one case, they were driving 70 in a 40 zone. On average, they were 17 over the limit. #OnPoli globalnews.ca/news/1146373...

Thousands and thousands marching through Rome right now to say: Hands off the Flotilla. A whole day of action and general strike tomorrow.

I remember. Do you??

🚨 NOW: NYPD Arresting Demonstrators Near UN Assembly: “Trump does not speak for us!” A coalition of orgs, in addition to @50501newyork.bsky.social, formed a blockade (restricting traffic) to gain attention from the International community during the UN assembly. Their message: SHUTDOWN TRUMP.

Well, well, well, I’ve finally come across one of those proverbial forks in the road! 😏

I've been saying for awhile that this is where a lot of NATO countries are headed. Ukraine has the IP, developed through extensive battle testing, and NATO has the industrial capacity. Marrying them makes so much sense.

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

Never forget: Trump tore up the Obama Iran nuclear deal in 2018. He hated that the black guy negotiated it.

I hope Americans remember that history might not fully repeat. But it sure as hell rhymes youtu.be/MN_9VqfVQ9c?...

Well, Edmonton Oilers, to quote Mathesar in Galaxy Quest: m.youtube.com/watch?v=cQ8U...

Millions of Romanians are celebrating tonight nationwide. This is what democracy looks like, despite Russia's insane manipulation campaign and army of influencer-propagandists, the people saw right through the bullshit and made the right call for their future. Romania is undefeated. 🇷🇴🇪🇺

It’s been a bad week for right wing populists in 🇨🇦 & 🇦🇺.

As has been said many times, the only occasion Article 5 of the NATO treaty was invoked was in the aftermath of 9/11. Canada suffered 158 war dead in Afghanistan. The first of occurring on this day in 2002. Read about them here, they were not just numbers: www.veterans.gc.ca/en/remembran...

Has Poilievre gotten his security clearance yet? No? then he's UNFIT to lead this country.

“Day 124 of nonstop nationwide protests.” - paying attention America?

For what it’s worth: TL:dr 1. Tariffs could result in a near-term boost to growth from an [anticipatory] inventory build-up [Q1] 2. Tariffs will drive up consumer prices for new and used autos. (Producer costs increasing between $3,000-$6,000 depending on amount of foreign content), consequently,

the blows keep coming for turkey’s one-time democracy

Lol. Must be a metaphor for how his campaign is going.
