This weekend I'm at the Halifax International Security Forum, which — for the first time — has no official delegated from the U.S. government. I'll post some occasional thoughts from the Forum over the weekend, below 👇

Ah, the fascists are always slamming Canada. They just hate anything decent that actually works.

Lol, even fox is screwing over Trump now. www.foxnews.com/politics/fox...

So, you know who JD Vance is. And you know who Jumpin Jack Jamil Jivani MP is. And you know how they were bestest friends to one another at Yale Law School and how JJJJ attended JDV’s inauguration as Fascist Vice President. Well here’s what JJJJ’s bestest friend thinks of Canada. Just like JJJJ.

As a Canadian (and perhaps on behalf of Greenlanders?) more than a little alarming at the bit near the end of this podcast where the comms guy for the Quartermaster General's office says they've been told to work on cold-weather fighting gear. www.articlesofinterest.co/podcast/epis...

AI companies, funders, and government are all intertwined in one big heaping trillion dollar blob. Here's what it means. www.wired.com/story/ai-ind...

Despicable open.substack.com/pub/steady/p... Great read from Dan Rather: "...The very existence of a free press is a threat to this president’s modus operandi, which is to govern by lying. Why would he want people around him who ask for facts and truthful answers?..." #BlueCrew #MisogynistInChief

"...this is not really a peace plan at all, but articles of surrender, legitimising Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine and the illegal annexation of its territory while brazenly dividing the spoils of war." #StandWithUkraine 🌻 #DownWithPutin #DownWithTrump www.virgin.com/branson-fami...

Le président ukrainien a assuré qu’il ne «trahira» pas son pays en acceptant ce plan américain, perçu comme favorable au Kremlin.

Former Finnish PM Sanna Marin put it bluntly: “To end the conflict, Russia must leave Ukrainian territory.” Just one point. Nothing more to discuss.

Wow. Blackmailing a victim. It is so american nowadays. #UAView

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone. Don't fall for it.

In a word: Stepford. Tell me again that fascism is not a backlash of the misogynistic patriarchy.

Zelenskyy has posted a deeply difficult, ten‑minute national address. It is honestly heartbreaking to watch. I’m sure translations are already circulating and you’ll find it online, but the first point you need to hear is this: "Right now is one of the most difficult moments in our history. ,

A member of Congress just filled out a threat report with the Capitol Police naming the President of the United States as the person making the threat. Think of where we were on January 7, 2021 when the country overwhelmingly repudiated what had happened. And think of where we are now.

We have a US administration trying to bully Ukrainians into accepting Russia’s proposal that their sovereignty be undone. Aside from the naked injustice of this, there are five basic practical reasons why it would make the world far more dangerous. (video) snyder.substack.com/p/the-putin-...

Add terrifying to those two adjectives. Welcome to the dystopian future that used to reside only in sci-fi novels.

Canada has what the world wants.   Deals like this mean more opportunities, new careers, and bigger paycheques for Canadian workers.

The Trump administration is overhauling the widely anticipated annual U.S. reports on human rights around the world, adding a new focus on issues like individual liberty rather than the persecution of groups and minorities, according to U.S. officials.

My question too...wake up, Ontario. 👇

Officials are facing threats and intimidation for resisting Trump’s plan. The situation is particularly alarming in Indiana, where four Republican lawmakers have been targeted in so-called “swatting” incidents after voting against a partisan redistricting session.

🚨DAILY REMINDER🚨 I post this every day so Americans remember Jan. 6, 2021: traitors scaling the Capitol walls, Trump flags everywhere, the screams of Capitol Police, Congressmembers hiding in fear, sheer destruction, and gallows on the lawn. Never forget. #StayWoke #Pinks 🌸 🎥 @mjfree.bsky.social

Happy Birthday President Biden‼️ ⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸

TEN MONTHS IN: The national debt is higher. The trade deficit is wider. The inflation rate has worsened. The unemployment rate is up.

Still think we’re not there yet?

Trump companies destroyed documents against court orders. Trump flushed documents at the White House. Trump is a criminal who thinks he is above the law. Even if they release the Epstein files, it's likely the most damning evidence will have been destroyed.

Normal country you've got there.

Piggy, as has his corpulent orange piggy master, obviously spent too much time having their cake and eating it too. Let’s change this Canada. #BoycottUSA

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.
