As hurricane season begins, FEMA is in disarray, @dgraham.bsky.social writes. Who manages the disaster if the disaster managers are the disaster?

Conservative MPs used their parliamentary privilege to seek details on the scope of the federal government’s diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives in areas Pierre Poilievre is now pledging to cut. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

All down to E-Day: Liberal voters dominate early voting but election day support splits evenly between CPC, LPC

The Associated Press wins reinstatement to White House events after judge rules government can’t bar its journalists, citing the 1st Amendment.

Judge Boasberg said he would rule on if there was probable cause to hold the Trump Administration in contempt for ignoring his order barring Venezuelan deportees from being flown to El Salvador. His record shows that President Trump has chosen an especially hard target to paint as “a troublemaker.”

Vance has no conscience.

Stock markets pointed to a further fall this week as futures trading got underway Sunday evening, with investors and economists grappling with rising odds of a severe economic downturn caused by President Trump’s significant new tariffs on imports.

Defence Ministry Update: Border surveillance has not detected any abnormal activity. We stand rock-hop-ready to rock, set to defend ourselves against all threats both foreign and domestic (elephant seals mainly)

The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.

The Trump administration abruptly laid off the entire staff running a $4.1 billion program to help low-income households across the U.S. pay their heating and cooling bills.

The standout madness in the general madness are the enormous tariffs on South East Asia which, if these stick, is going to magnify China's sphere of influence. Geopolitical lunacy.

President Donald Trump says taxing imports will strengthen domestic manufacturing. Hours before announcing new tariffs, his administration cut support for centers that help US firms do just that.

Pierre Poilievre is trailing in the polls, but he's getting absolutely lapped by Mark Carney among women voters. His recent comments about biological clocks are just the latest example of why. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2025/04/02/o...

President Donald Trump announced a perplexing, and expansive, set of tariffs today. They will open up a future of high prices for American consumers, @isabelfattal.bsky.social writes in The Atlantic Daily.

After following America’s lead for 80 years, Europe's democracies do not recognize the danger now before them, Phillips Payson O’Brien writes.

Canadian airlines are eliminating tens of thousands of seats to the U.S. this April, while industry data shows that bookings have declined significantly.

When people say 'politics is too divisive now,' what they really mean is 'I was more comfortable when certain groups suffered quietly.'

Very good question.

Geography lesson for Americans. #elbowsup

“There is no reason why they’re being held,” the judge said. “If this was a criminal case. … I’d throw you out of my chambers.” www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Last week ICE detained parents of three young children under 13-years-old, in Washington, D.C. The family fled political persecution in Venezuela two years ago and applied for asylum. Despite having Temporary Protected Status and pending asylum applications, they were charged with illegal entry.

Breaking News: A federal judge ordered top Trump administration officials to preserve their Signal chat messages discussing plans for an attack in Yemen.

NEW POST: Canadians aren't being asked to meet the moment emmettmacfarlane.substack.com/p/canadians-...

Deflecting to “but the mission was a success” reminds me of a drunk driver arguing to the cop that he should be allowed to go home because he didn’t crash into anyone.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but fascism often begins with the slow erosion of civil liberties and the rise of authoritarianism under the guise of ‘security measures’.

Current and former U.S. military pilots expressed bewilderment after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth refused to acknowledge that he should not have disclosed sensitive information in an unsecured group chat. “If you can’t admit when you’re wrong, you’re going to kill somebody,” one pilot said.

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time: Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves. Q: Why are you running away? Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels. Q: But you’re foxes! Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

After the Atlantic published the texts this morning, Tulsi Gabbard is confronted today on why she lied in her testimony to the Senate yesterday. She says she misremembered.

This seems like a good time to remind folks of what Hannah Arendt once wrote:

good line of questioning here from Heinrich underlining how despite Trump's rhetoric, Canada isn't mentioned a single time in the intelligence community's threats assessment

I'd like to live in a country where the National Security Adviser doesn't sum up a discussion of war plans with the FIST FLAG FIRE emojis like he's talking about Fortnite.

Do not listen to bullies. U.S. military planes arrived in Greenland at a U.S. military base — bc the PM REFUSED to meet them. Delegation includes Congressman Mike Waltz, who plan to make the islanders “an offer they can’t refuse.” HOW is this not an act of war?! This is how they annexed Hawaii.

Who made this? 😂🥴😂

Surprising to hear that a government formed exclusively of a country’s most stupid people isn’t really working out.

Every single Democrat in Congress should be demanding the resignation of Waltz and Hegseth. Every single one. This is a massive scandal. There should be a serious price to pay. AND THERE IS ZERO DOWNSIDE FOR EVEN THE MOST SCAREDY-CAT CONGRESSPERSON.

The Usha Vance led delegation to Greenland was unsought by the Greenlanders and has been angrily rejected by them. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/23/u...

Just how comically insecure in your masculinity do you need to be to do this, exactly?

On Thursday, Tesla issued yet another recall for nearly all of its Cybertrucks, this time to do with the glue adhering outer panels to the vehicles.

There were warning signs all along the way with Trump, Musk, and MAGA, and there have been warning signs all along the way with Danielle Smith, Pierre Poilievre and their core conservative supporters. They are all cut from the same cloth, no matter what they pretend to be during our election.

Danielle Smith is one of Pierre Poilievre's biggest fans. She also just torpedoed his election campaign. Whoopsie daisy. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2025/03/23/o...

Yesterday I showed how the US right lines up with Turkey and Russia. This is Turkey now. Elon Musk is intervening, suspending X accounts that oppose the far right Erdogan. Musk can choose to do the same in Canada at any point. He must be blocked from doing so. #cdnpoli #CanadaStrong
