“Danielle Smith doesn’t care about Canadian sovereignty. Her actions — always immature, often childish and completely unacceptable for any Canadian politician — have proven her unworthy of her office.” An editorial by @taylornoakes.com.

Canadian PM Mark Carney: "There are some places that are never for sale...Having met with the owners of Canada over the course of the campaign the last several months, it's not for sale. It won't be for sale ever."

“Science has no passport, no gender, no ethnicity, no political party.” EC President Ursula von der Leyen, announcing a €500M initiative to attract top global talent. In a fractured world, science remains a unifying force – rooted in diversity, driven by curiosity, and shared by all humanity.

Prime Minister Carney is in Washington. Already the head games have started A fog of disinformation is pumping from the White House. We have seen these tactics before. Canada is not dealing with an honest partner. I trust the PM will look to the long game in dealing with this hostile regime.

Donald Trump has launched more attacks on the environment in 100 days than his entire first term. His blitzkrieg has hit almost every major policy to shield Americans from toxic pollution, curb the worsening impacts of the climate crisis and protect landscapes, oceans, forests and wildlife.

This year is "truly exceptional—one for the record books," said environmental scientist Thomas Gill.

Did you understand, PP? You belong to the past - the past is gone. We are in the present now. And the present is Mark Carney.

Canada will forever stand as a free, independent, and progressive nation — never the 51st state of the USA, and never ruled by extremists. #ElbowsUp 💪 #CanadaStrong 🇨🇦
