Prime Minister Carney's speech at Davos is sending a message of Canada's determination to the world. Canada is united at this time in the face of staggering levels of threat. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5aQ...

it seems too obvious to even keep pointing it out but if you have ever had experience with an elder relative sliding into dementia you are familiar with the ways they repeat the same nonsensical anecdotes

A brilliant speech by Canada's Mark Carney in Davos: "The old order is not coming back. We should not mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy...The powerful have their power. But we have something too — the capacity to stop pretending, to name reality, to build our strength at home & to act together."

Europe is working on a package to support Arctic security. And at the heart of this will be the fundamental principle: it is for sovereign people to decide their own future.

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

I keep seeing posts stating that ICE cannot enter your home or a private business without a judicial warrant. While that is legally correct, in reality ICE routinely violates the law by forcing their way in, often by smashing down doors, before violently assaulting people. Trumpism is fascism.

Carney: "We stand firmly with Greenland and Denmark and fully support their unique right to determine Greenland's future. Our commitment to NATO's Article 5 is unwavering ... Canada strongly opposes tariffs over Greenland"

This is nuts. World leaders are trying to do diplomacy. Trump is screenshotting and posting private messages from heads of state like it’s a gossip session.

BREAKING: The President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, just delivered the strongest rebuke of Donald Trump we’ve seen yet regarding Greenland. Wow.

I’m in Davos, Switzerland, to secure new trade and investment partners for Canada. Because Canada has what the world wants — we’re an energy superpower and a reliable trading partner, with the most educated workforce in the world.

DHS is out with a new explanation of this and "he's a brown guy who looked like some sex criminals who he allegedly lived with" (his sister-in-law's story suggests that last part is made up), and they claim he refused to be fingerprinted or "facially ID'd," which I do not in any way believe at all.

This is absolutely horrific. It's time for a change.

Today, of all days, we must remember: white nationalists will not prevail.

In case anyone still doubts it: annual EV sales jumped from ~3M to ~20.7M in just five years. The tech improves every year and disruption is fully underway. EVs now represent ~25% of global car sales. This isn’t a fad — it’s scale. We’ve barely begun. #EnergyTransition #EVs #Lithium #LFP
