UN ambassador @bobbyrae48.bsky.social joins @spaikin.bsky.social to talk about the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, Donald Trump, the state of democracy around the world, and how Canada's geopolitical role is changing. #cdnpoli

An excellent piece reminding us how Orwell’s key insights remain timely and penetrating. Applies to our work at the United Nations and indeed everywhere. @OrwellSociety

Fabulous speech! Such a privilege to attend. Thanks so much for your commitment to 🇨🇦 and #elbowsUp! Gives me hope! Love the “in the rapids” imagery…perfect.

A good gathering !

Two twilight photos taken this week. Hoping for a good week for Canada “we are in the rapids” as Thomas Darcy McGee put it.

Incredible

In celebration of #WPFD2025, I’m joining the Presidents of @unpga.bsky.social, Gen. Conf. of @unesco.org & UN Human Rights Council in calling for a strong commitment to the fundamental rights of freedom of expression & access to information & to ensuring safe & trustworthy AI systems bit.ly/WPFD2025

A strong, independent, and free press both defines and defends our values as Canadians. Now more than ever, we need to protect our public forums and defend strong and reliable Canadian voices. #WorldPressFreedomDay

Booksellers have faced censorship and harassment defending the freedom to read. Celebrate your local bookstore and support their ongoing role in safeguarding intellectual freedom. press.princeton.edu/ideas/bookst... #BookstoreDay

For a long time pow-wows were illegal in Canada, and indigenous people were denied legal representation under the Indian Act. And there is still so much to do to end the discrimination that still exists. The #IndigenousPeoplesForum is a celebration of the journey for justice we are still on

Jamie Raskin: "It is remarkable that the Administration would dare to start arresting state court judges." "It's a whole new descent into government chaos." Congress erupts over FBI arrest of Wisconsin judge www.axios.com/2025/04/25/f...

If this happened in any country in the world, the strongest concerns would be expressed about human rights and democracy. This should be no exception.

Hey, my tariffs aren't working, what can I do?

My stepfather, Lars Thompson passed away April first, at '92. My mom just sent me some photos of him dancing with Stephen Lewis and face to face with @bobbyrae48.bsky.social He was federal NDP candidate for Kingston (against Flora MacDonald) in 72 and 74, and provincial in 75.

How we handle AI today shapes future societies, global power, and humanity’s future. Yet, we're doing it amidst rising geopolitical tension, new economic blocs, and military standoffs. open.substack.com/pub/sineadbo...

This, from Timothy Snyder, is definitive, on Greenland open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

Once more into the breach, dear friends…

Only 6.6% of countries are full democracies. Canada is one of them. That's something to be proud of. Something worth fighting for. *Data comes from a division of The Economist. The report is interesting reading if you're worried about the state of modern politics.

This theft is what Prime Minister Trudeau talked about after his last conversations with Donald Trump. It’s what Prime Minister Carney discussed in his first two speeches with Canadians. Canada is fighting for its security, sovereignty and territorial integrity, nothing more, nothing less.

Putting the Arctic Ocean closer to the center, this brings the Greenland Canada gambit into focus. It is a grab for power, money, water, and resources, also giving the US complete control over the Northwest Passage. Fentanyl and the border are a smokescreen for a much bigger project: theft.

Looking forward to MSNBC @velshi.bsky.social Saturday morning

Excellente entrevue de Bob Rae, ambassadeur canadien aux USA.
