Meanwhile ... Russia remains a terrorist state.

So, Michelle from Oshawa, Ontario is yer classic piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre voter, “happily married, Mom of two”, loves to hate, Carney just much as Trudeau. Emotional maturity of a ten year old. Imagine the monsters she’s going to provide to the world. 🤷🏼🙄🤷🏼

You may not agree with everything Mark Carney is doing but it's hard to argue he's not doing exactly what he said he would do, and he's doing it all in parallel, not wasting a minute. The projects will need full public and Parliamentary debate and input. I hope the voices of experts are heard.

Waiting for news outlets and reporters to acknowledge that maybe, just maybe, reporting Trump's social media posts on foreign policy without confirmation is deeply irresponsible and an embarrassing failure of journalism.

Today’s @theglobeandmail.com

Silly Stockwell Day still walking with dinosaurs after climbing off his jet ski. 🤷🏼🤭🤷🏼

🇺🇸American triumphalism at its most juvenile. Life is just one big football game. We’re Number 1! 🤷🏼🙄🤷🏼

Intriguing👇🏻 Will the new app allow interaction with Bluesky on some way, or be isolated? One’s unclear on the tech talk here.

As a nation, 🇺🇸USA loves to bully others, especially when no American blood need be shed (more sacred than others’ blood). Just you watch them fall into line now behind their wartime President. Then watch them realize they’re maybe going to get more than they bargained for, and think better of it.

Canada is facing a housing crisis. Could it take a page from Europe? In the Austrian city of Vienna, more than half of its residents live in some form of subsidized housing www.cbc.ca/news/world/e...

And if we want to keep it real, BOOMERS were the ones who ran out into the streets and got their heads busted to get the rights Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z are so happy and anxious to give away.

Correct. 😔 www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

I’m old enough to remember when people like 🍁gun cult doyenne Tracey Wilson were gloating almost daily on Twitter about piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre’s lead in the polls. Wonder if the piffleswipe has ever stopped to consider her cult’s unwavering support might not be helping. Life is hard … 🤷🏼🇨🇦🤷🏼

BREAKING: Trump announces 🇺🇸USA will invade Norway if their King won’t give him Nobel Peace Prize right now. 🤷🏼🙄🤷🏼

So, if this racist Florida law student can win the book prize for best paper in the class (taught by a sitting judge), why shouldn’t Trump be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize? 🤷🏼🙄🤷🏼 www.nytimes.com/2025/06/21/u...

Religion in America went off the deep end a long time ago, now reaching the point where @nytimes.com carries headlines about “the Christian Assassin” and refers to organized bands of psychopaths as “churches”, all with a straight face. 🤷🏼🙄🤷🏼 www.nytimes.com/2025/06/19/o...

Here you have it folks👇🏻: the Canadian Coalition for “Firearm Rights” isn’t all about protecting hunters and target shooters, it’s about getting guns into every Canadian home with which to shoot people under the shelter of ‘castle laws’. They want 🇨🇦Canada to be 🇺🇸American. 🤷🏼🙄🤷🏼

This is a thoughtful piece in @theglobeandmail.com on the London hockey players’ trial. The one issue left out is the question of reasonable doubt. Not saying what the answer is, but the question hangs over everything else. globe2go.pressreader.com/article/2816...

The doyenne of the 🍁gun cult’s idea of a ”beautiful beast”. It’s Canadian Culture, don’tya know? 🤷🏼

Well, the usual international cabal of anti-MAID zealots turned up in droves with anecdotal scare stories, trying to persuade the UK parliament to reject modernization. They lost again. 🇬🇧👏🏻🇬🇧

Bravo, UK🇬🇧. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

🍁gun cultists having cheery chat with their doyenne about best combination of lethal firearms for home defence. “Shotgun doesn’t need perfect aim, handgun needs less effort to point.” 🇨🇦🤷🙄🤷🇨🇦

Of course they are. And Queen of Stupid Danielle Smith just loves it. Smiles and chuckles. 🍁🙄🍁

Along with the entire MSM of the western world, @theglobeandmail.com pitches in to provide free stenographic services to broadcast Trump’s latest meaningless posturing. Sells newspapers, one presumes. 🤷🏼🙄🤷🏼

🇺🇸🎯🇺🇸 www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/o...

Poor old 🍁gun cult members will fall for the fantasy that it’s cataclysmic to file a few sheets of paper (or PDFs?) begging the Supreme Court (which grants very few such requests) to even allow them to appeal from an unexceptional adverse lower court ruling on gun control. Can’t fix stupid. 🤷🤭🤷

🔥🔥🔥"But that's pretty ironic, given that, despite not getting re-elected, Mr. Speaker, Pierre Poilievre continues to live in taxpayer-funded government housing." #cdnpoli

The Hill Times has always seemed a bit of an oddball publication, but they outdo themselves here: the Conservatives should “show themselves to be serious about being serious”? “Seriousness about being serious is important”? Did Grok write this or something? 🤷🏼🤔😉🤭🤷🏼

Mr. Coyne is correct. There is no more G7. It’s now a figment of the imagination. 🤷🏼🤔🤷🏼

Truer words were never spoken - here by Barack Obama yesterday, on the palmy days of easy liberal democracy for the upper middle class, quoted today in @nytimes.com:

Yes !

It never stops , Russia is our enemy. ukdefencejournal.org.uk/british-jets...
