The Iran war smells more like Vietnam than any wildfire smoke from Canada.

So far 39,764 fires have burned more than 3.67 million acres in the US and a Canadian firefighter has died helping you fight one of the fires. 🔥 #Canada

Curse of the Swamp Creature 1966

I’m so tired of the US acting like they occupy the high ground when they have become the Swamp Thing horror movie of my youth.

Yemen's Houthis are preparing to close the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a key global shipping route, as part of a broader Iranian strategy to increase pressure on the US and its allies, The Telegraph reports.

Cedar Wax Wing has built a nest in our country yard. Perfect neighbours.

Wow. Some serious AL pitching in the All Star game.

#Canada this is wholly unacceptable. I realize it’s coming from someone without superior intellectual capacity, who has fallen prey to the US style “nothing is real” discourse. But it’s still unacceptable to make these kind of allegations.

#Canada fuck that country. Stand tall. We do not bend. We do not cringe.

Here is Graham gloating about "killing all the right people." Just in case you see anyone try to do the whole "we should have decency for the dead" nonsense.

Hear hear

Deeply saddened to learn of the loss of my dear friend Satan, the Prince of Lies. Though we often disagreed about matters such as the appropriate role of torture in the afterlife, I will most remember how his quick wit and affable nature made our weekly golf outings a ritual. He will be missed.

“Canadians show a clear preference for allyship with Europe rather than the U.S. under the Trump administration. Canada is on track to double its non-U.S. exports, and growing jobs at twice the rate of the United States.”

Pretty classy message by the Norwegian Embassy. #WorldCup

#Canada do not buy US

Big sad. California winegrowers should find other markets for their products like we are for steel and aluminum.

UBS 2026 Global Wealth Report confirms the typical (ie. median) Canadian is 2x wealthier than the median American. Cda ranks 7th on median wealth, US 28th. Galactic hoards of Musk, Bezos, et al inflate the US average but virtually none flows to most Americans. #canlab #cdnecon /2

It's the same reason per capita GDP comparisons between Canada and the US are so bogus. Super-profits of US tech oligopolies certainly lift US GDP & apparent productivity. Yet the median Canadian has more income & wealth, better health, and lives longer. centreforfuturework.ca/2025/05/06/p...

This is a major part of the cultural divide between Canada and the US.

NATO published interesting data on defence spending in 2026. Some takeaways⬇️ 1. Baltics and Poland are leading in how much of GDP they are spending on defence. The USA is Nr.9. 1/3

Until recently it was already an abusive relationship but publishers at least got page views out of google, but if you don't have that then there's no benefit at all.

F-35 kill switch like. “the U.S. can switch AI access on and off at its discretion..Canada has no assurance or guarantee of access to models” This threat should inspire us to imagine, design, create and implement open-source expert systems. apple.news/A9g_ma3QRQ7W...

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: Spain may be geographically far from Russia and the Eastern Front. We are also far from the Middle East. But we are very close to our allies, and we are close to the values and objectives that inspired the creation of both the European Union and NATO.

As a Canadian of Romanian (Bucovina) descent I’m pleased to see this increasing level of cooperation.

PM Carney to Danish PM Mette Frederiksen: "We have no greater friend and tighter ally than Denmark."

He will be assassinated, metaphorically-at the ballot box in November.
