Why Canada should join the EU economist.com/europe/2025/... from The Economist

The "weave" has been rechristened:

Support stronger Canada-Europe ties by joining the European Movement Canada. Why? Because the European Movement stands for democracy, peace, unity and solidarity, respect for human rights and the rule of law; the very values that Canadians and Europeans alike hold dear.

Re: Trump preventing foreign students from attending Harvard Wouldn’t it be fun if Harvard University opened a Canadian campus to serve its international students.

"Osama Bin Laden DID NOT FLY PLANES into any US buildings. He just asked and inspired people to do it, drew #money💲💰 💵 💸 and resources to the effort, set the timing and launched the execution from afar. 1/2

You have no idea how hard it is for a kid to be "different" And then to see something like that poster And feel special

Kamala Harris a very impressive resume. She was the perfect candidate for President. I don’t understand why people are reluctant to vote for a Black Woman. Instead they voted for the Felon & Elon.

Go Sweden! 🇸🇪

Anybody watch SchoolSwap U.K. to USA on Channel 4? British teenager from London had to travel 4000 miles to Arkansas in a school exchange to be called the n word for the first time in his life Perhaps somewhat perversely I see that as progress for the U.K. especially given the world we live in

One of these things is not like the other.

The Dow was down 600 yesterday & 400 today. That adds up to down 1000 in two days. I guess it time to impeach the president.

Being able to drop a quarterly US GDP prediction by 5.1% from +2.3% to -2.8% in a single week is one of the most impressive economic developments in the history of the world.

And it begins Wonder how many more doors will be slammed in their face After that oval office fiasco www.bbc.com/news/article...

@bridgette9.bsky.social Thank you!

I really think 🍊🤡 should be considered a compromised asset. Anything he says or does relating to Putin or Russia when negotiating for Ukraine 🇺🇦 cannot be trusted, it should be considered irrelevant. Europe is going to have to take over. Lock him out!

🍊💩head’s stupid Gulf of Mexico/America fiasco has infected Google Maps in Canada too. I thought Google was going to contain the infection.
