Canada is also saying that Lebanon has to be included in any peace framework This is huge Because when Canada says it, it really means 100 other countries are saying it, but they don’t have the clout to say it and they need Canada to say it for them

Trump accepted $37 million worth of donated foreign steel for his White House ballroom from a corporation based in Luxembourg. Just days later, the Trump administration made major cuts to tariffs on steel imports that could significantly benefit that corporation. "America First."

#MilitaryDraft #DV1 #ProudBlue So they made draft registration automatic instead of self registration- this may be a precursor to automatic drafting into military service so we offer those services

PM Pedro Sánchez: "Netanyahu has launched his most intense attack on Lebanon since the offensive began — his disregard for human life & international law is intolerable. It’s time to speak clearly: Lebanon must be included in the ceasefire — and there must be no impunity for these criminal acts"

America is the most powerful country in the history of the world but also the most ridiculous - if you're a Russian that is. America voted a tacky low level Russian asset in as President and its governing class is either too apathetic, or deluded or corrupt and compromised themselves to stop him.

Amazon reportedly failed to create any new jobs at its HQ2 in Virginia last year, despite millions of state tax incentives. The company has cut 30,000 jobs since last October — while saving $4 billion in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill. Trickle-down economics is a hoax.

Research shows that when communities switch from local to national news, it measurably increases partisan voting. This is part of what's polarizing America. When newspapers close, we only see partisan labels. Split-ticket voting drops nearly 2%. www.carnegie.org/our-work/art...

When churches host/support this kind of deranged political crap, it's time to end their tax-free status. Similarly, end taxpayer support of separate schools, private schools, and religious charter schools. They are hothouses of hate and division. #cdnpoli #abpoli thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...
