A senior government official who advises Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi on security has expressed a personal opinion that Japan should have nuclear weapons, according to media reports.

Things are going great over at X, The Everything App

Our new Buy Canadian Policy means that as we build major housing, infrastructure, and defence projects, we’re building with Canadian materials, Canadian technology, and Canadian workers.

Dear Santa, Id like politics to boring and my politicians to be pragmatic “policy wonks” who are empathetic to folks who are not exactly like them.

Another American deal signed by Trump has been broken by Trump just months later because he wants more concessions. The Yanks are preying in the UK because they left the EU and are seen as weaker and in need of new trade partners. MAGAstan is NOT a good faith partner and should be avoided.

There are people whose lives we celebrate and will when they pass; and then there are those whose passing we celebrate upon their death.

Hopefully once the UCP (Un-Canadian Party) is replaced this American style “education” model will get canned.

Mass shootings in the US are now so ubiquitous that they hardly get reported nationally in the US. It is also not unusual that some survivors have survived multiple mass shooting. At this point Americans should be thanking school kids for “their service”, because honestly schools are war zones…

Good morning everyone. We hope you successfully Achieve your goals and abide any and all of the nihilists you encounter.

Bless the Muslim man who disarmed a terrorist shooter in Australia!

Danielle Smith’s Maple Maga UCP really seems to love ❤️ the idea of coal and poisoning critical watersheds as much as she hates successful citizen petitions.

So, I’ve just had a thought, but I’m not sure whether it’s metaphorical or literal.

Come on, @mark-carney.bsky.social, it’s your turn! #cdnpoli

Leaders of a Catholic church in Massachusetts kept a Nativity display with an anti-ICE message in place on Monday, defying an order from the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston to remove it. The display shows Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus missing, replaced by a sign reading “ICE WAS HERE.” trib.al/adPW46y

Who has made this 🤣

Meanwhile, in Saskatchewan where the collapse of local media means most folks aren’t paying attention to their Maple Maga Light government: thestarphoenix.com/opinion/opin...

I predict that the word of the year for 2026 will be “default”.

Interesting development in BC. It seems there is coup/insurrection/revoution underway in the BC Conservative Party. The party has 2 leaders at the moment .

France is on its fifth Republic and its *fifteenth* Constitution. We can just depose the king, topple his Court and 🎶 start all over again. It's allowed. Past a certain level of societal pressure and general unfairness that kind of thing seems to work itself out naturally.

Well this certainly is concerning. I’m not sure I have enough emotional bandwidth to deal with Skynet entering this timeline. 🎱🤨

I think this is a good summary of where we are at right now in 🇨🇦. We see the Sh🍌t storm the is to our south and most of us want a middle ground approach for stability. We’re willing to ideas on the left and right. BUT, we want calm, civilized, discussion, because … youtu.be/xO1pa57EDDk?...

So my local Canadian whisky distillery is winning major awards due to its unique climatic exposure ageing process. 👍👍

Very clear evidence exists that the Trump Administration has ordered the US military to engage in acts that are defined as war crimes. The ball is now in the US congress’s court. If they fail to investigate, impeach, and prosecute they are also culpable. youtu.be/Jli37FCNqOw?...

This is an excellent and grounded discussion of the energy MOU signed by PM Carney and Premier Smith that goes into the real world factors without emotional hyperbole. I recommend listening to it and then coming to your own conclusions. youtu.be/SXqH8bzymm4?...

The lesson here is that it’s now IMPOSSIBLE to satirize an American official’s words and actions. A Venn diagram depicting truth vs satire is just a circle

This is horrifying. These are the same people whose ancestors burned the Library of Alexandria. This not only destroys America’s scientific leadership, it is a blow to global scientific efforts.

The initial 'Shutdown Guidance' for the US Army Garrison Bavaria included instructions to go to German food banks.

The Goddard facility designed, helped build, and analyzes data from Hubble, James Webb, and other space science satellites. Specialized equipment is being disassembled and moved (to where?) and buildings padlocked. NASA is being gutted and science is being blinded by fundamentalists.

An observation from an ordinary🇨🇦. When 42 million Americans are about face food insecurity, it might not be a great idea to: - Host a Great Gatsby themed party at Mar-a-Lardo for your MAGA oligarchic Botox friends. -post on social media pictures of your Lincoln Bedroom bathroom Reno’s.

I seriously hope this happens and that we cancel the F35. The RCAF might actually be able to expand the size of the fighter force after decades of decreasing force structures. The Grippen is far more flexible and cost effective.

This is a few weeks old but it’s a splendid interview. It’s a throwback to when professional journalists could ask serious, pointed questions to a politician about actual policy and get clear answers and not sound bites.

If you’re having a bad day please stop and watch this sweet fuzzy Angel earn her much deserved wings. ❣️

Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed. THOU SHALT CANCEL SPOTIFY!!!

US bill HR5401 would authorize pay to the US military during the government shutdown. The Democrats support it but Speaker Johnson doesn’t. Under MAGA you can thank the troops for their service while they stand in line at food banks.

I’m grateful to have 2 ground clouds to share a beautiful walk in nature on a beautiful fall day in 🇨🇦❣️

I have a REALLY BAD feeling about this. Given the increasingly surreal behaviour of TRUMP and Hegseth something potential catastrophic may be around the corner.

I honestly love listening to Carney during these meetings, whether they are federal /provincial or international. He doesn’t dumb down the discourse and spout catch simplistic ideological catch phrases but drills down to the underlying complexities of issues.

The Epstein War in Afghanistan. Let's talk about it.

Good news IMO.

Good News Everybody!!! US Inflation is under complete control! The Bureau of Labor Statistics has been ordered to stop releasing the numbers to the public.
