I posted several weeks ago about a distressing immigration raid at the Centre where I am a Trustee. My MP has extracted information from the Home Office. Do write to your MP if something worries you. They can really help.

Canada welcomes the U.S. Court of International Trade’s decision on the United States’ tariffs. It confirmed what we’ve always held: that the American tariffs against Canadian goods are unlawful and unjustified.

Canadians elected this new government with a strong mandate: to bring down costs and help you get ahead. That work starts with a tax cut for the middle class, taking effect on July 1.

RFK Jr. is reportedly going to forbid government scientists from publishing in the world’s most respected medical journals — the Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, etc. It’s going to take decades to repair the damage done by this administration.

This simpleminded clown has obviously been told that the "Golden Dome System," he already announced, can't happen without Canada's cooperation, a country that he has given thousands of reasons to loathe him. Donald is smart that way.

Gotta love Bono in this new interview praising Canada for rejecting Poilievre the populist and electing the thoughtful, intelligent & competent Carney. “51 reasons to love Canada,” indeed. Poilievre is reviled and Carney is revered inside & outside of this great country. 🇨🇦 (Part 2 in thread below)

Last night Russia attacked a European capital with ballistic missiles and hundreds of drones. Today the story barely registers in international news headlines. Western normalization and acceptance of Russian atrocities in Ukraine is what makes them possible.

Not for nothing, but when any party leader puts almost their entire caucus in cabinet or “shadow cabinet”, they’re doing so to protect their own leadership. They’re doing it because the proverbial knives are already out, their leadership is at risk, keep friends close but enemies closer. #ableg
