Donald Trump just ordered the Department of Homeland Security to add 20,000 officers to the country's deportation forces. You can expect more of this—in neighborhoods across America. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I just realized that Pierre Poilievre - who hasn’t congratulated his opponent yet - is going to have to look at Bruce Fanjoy sitting in the seat for Carleton on the winning side of Parliament every time he struts back in after his Alberta do-over. I love that for him.

This seems to be the basic facts in the Wisconsin judge case -- sounds mighty funky for federal charges: "We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected fed agents away from the subject to be arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, allowing the subject—an illegal alien— to evade arrest."

The Liberals have ensured that there's no real Canadian news on Facebook while simultaneously not punishing the company, at all, for all the fake news they're injecting into our country. If the Liberals had spines, they'd tell Meta either they get rid of the disinformation or they'll be banned.

@zeteo.com seeing jurisdictions start to deregulate under the guise of ‘competitiveness’ in the face of tariffs & Trump also deregulating - I keep thinking of @naomiaklein.bsky.social and the shock doctrine. It feels this artificial ‘crisis’ is really about deregulation.

"No more excuses, no more delaying. It’s put up or shut up time." Poilievre is either unable or unwilling to obtain the security clearance he requires. The aloof arrogance of Poilievre is staggering. Canada can refuse to vote his party to national leadership. That's a response he can't avoid.

Recognising the death penalty as a violation of human rights, means not providing the means to put someone on death row, no matter what jurisdiction. Cooperating while death is on the table should be a non-starter. Get death and other torture off the table before talking about cooperation.
