All of what I read in this article, I had already assumed. Hearing/seeing it said by a doctor with experience in both systems was sobering though

In this new Q&A, The Walrus editor-in-chief @cstarnino.bsky.social speaks to national security and intelligence expert Wesley Wark to unpack what might be behind Pierre Poilievre’s resistance to gaining security clearance: thewalrus.ca/poilievres-refus...

More of this type of story - not just being written but in front pages, social posts and push notifications etc is what's needed for "drumbeat" coverage. Good.

Danielle Smith is collaborating with a foreign influencer in the country threatening to tariff and annex Canada, in order to skew the outcome of Canada's election in favour of Conservatives. On the Alberta taxpayers' dime. #Canada #CanadaSky #cdnpoli 🇨🇦 #Alberta #yyc #yeg #ableg #abpoli

People in the EU are being advised to stockpile enough food, water and essentials for 72 hours as part of a European strategy that aims to increase readiness for catastrophic floods and fires, pandemics and military attacks.

If you're having a bad day, just remember that without security clearance, accidentally being invited to a group chat is the only way Poilievre is gonna learn Canada's national security secrets.

So the American consulate asked for Canadian police presence at the scene of a protest in Toronto, Canada outside the consulate. Canada is still a democracy and peaceful protest against the representation of a semi-fascist regime is still allowed. Keep it peaceful but don't lie down.

A lot of the dumb mysteries of this administration are pretty easily explained if you’re familiar with fraternities. When a member of a frat gets busted for something he absolutely did, ranks close immediately. We’ve got a couple of not-like-other-girls mixed in, but the admin is frat house.

Pierre Poilievre is engaging in blatant misinformation. Mark Carney will be debating in French. He is not participating in an event held by TVA because of the outrageous requirement of a $70,000 fee to participate. Facts matter

"Fight the authoritarians on everything. If the stock market drops, scream about it. Because it’s their fault. When a kid dies of measles—their fault. Attack them every day, on whatever the latest thing is. Turn 'flood the zone' against them."

Taxes are for pooling our resources for the common good and to build and sustain a functioning society

Update: Friends asked me this week if I thought Trump was serious about supporting Carney. 🤦‍♀️ Canadians, please be vocal about calling it all out, all the misinformation, all the lies. Your friends and colleagues believe a lot of the 💩 being spouted by the CPC. #NeverPoilievre #MarkCarney

Lutnick's reasoning is just bonkers. Trump admin officials literally do not know any normal people and so don't know stuff like "most retirees don't have billionaire family members and thus have to watch their budgets carefully and will be greatly alarmed by a missing Social Security payment."

If you're feeling hopeless and miserable, I cannot possibly overstate how much it helps to just pick one thing you can do that helps people, and do it. You only need to do one person's worth of work. That's all any of us can do. You'll be doing what you can, and there is so much relief in that.

I want the Liberals to win because I'm a pragmatist and they are without a doubt the lesser of 2 evils. I also want the Liberals to win because Poilievre spent a year being certain he was gonna become the Prime Minister of Canada and watching that pompous little shit weasel lose will be delightful.

Saving seeds should be a right enshrined by the constitution, which is why it is so criminal Monsanto & others have patented some seeds. This is why seed-saving is an act of rebellion & makes you cool as fuck. Save seeds, grow food, subvert capitalism, be healthy — so you can fight the power.

Canadian here and can confirm : We are buying Canadian made products in large part because of the tariffs, but we are avoiding travel to the US because the country is threatening to invade us, we are not really seeing Americans defend us and we're scared of ICE indiscriminately messing with us.

Fantastic read! I encourage my American friends to share it too.
