I like her! www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/u...

Dr. Gunter is correct. All Conservative MPs are antichoice. All Liberals, regardless of their personal views, agree to vote prochoice on all bills. Our choice couldn’t be more clear. www.arcc-cdac.ca/media/anti-c... #Vote #Carney

Soofia’s story is one heartbreaking example among many, and builds upon myriad anti-immigrant policies Trump tested out during his first term. ⤵️

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

Trump admin considering bombing Mexico. Bombing Mexico. What’s the cost-benefit analysis of bombing a peaceful neighbor because you have a domestic problem you can’t address? Asking as a Canadian.

Leaders need to stick up for those under them and tell them the truth. Politicians can lie but real leaders cannot. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

Fired for objecting to Vance’s belligerent & asinine comments about annexing Greenland. If you’re not MAGA, you’re out.

One of the stories that looks technical and possibly dull but is actually a Massive Deal: major nations (excluding the US) reached agreement on taxing greenhouse gases from shipping, 3% of total global emissions and rising (bigger ships delivering more & using lots of fuel)

For now, it appears we’re sidestepping the slide into authoritarian populism. Trump has scared us away from that prospect. Many Canadians looked to our neighbours to the south, saw what populism really looked like & decided they wanted no part of it.” How Trump turned (most) Canadians off populism.

What we are seeing is a purge—of the administrative state, of the universities, of expertise—that is consistent with events like the Cultural Revolution in China in the 1960s and ’70s, or the dismantling of the tsarist civil service after the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917.

If I lived in America right now, I would be anxiety ridden about this question.

Molly Jong-Fast deleted a post where she said George Packer was right in saying that "Fleeing before you're threatened is a lot like obeying in advance." A bunch of people reminded her that fleeing Europe in, say, 1932 or 33 versus 1939 was often the difference between living and dying. 1/

Future Amazon- ICE stock split. Very big, the biggest. Now is a good time to BUY……

America has no allies in this trade war. Not the EU. Not Japan. Not Canada, not Mexico, not Australia. Not even Russia. OK, maybe El Salvador. MAGA wanted America alone. It got its wish.

Estonians are made of iron.

Saving this to read later: please fcs, don’t say “by pretending to be Canadian”.

Well done, P.M Carney.

Estonia! 🇪🇪

Josef Janning wrote in a recent issue of Internationale Politik that the EU is closer to failing than ever before. I disagreed and got to write for why I think the opposite. Precisely because Europe has never had so few alternatives as it does right now, it is not going to fail.

don't upset China. they do not squawk much, they act. US can say goodbye to LNG exports, stat,

Not that it will make a difference to the Olympic committee or any of the other immoral graft ridden orgs. 💰

PM Mark Carney 🇨🇦 "Criminals are taking advantage of irresponsible American gun laws and their weak border enforcement to bring illegal guns into Canada. Large American online platforms have become seas of racism, misogyny, antisemitism, islamophobia and hate in all its forms." #cdnpoli

Israel is trying to interfere in the Canadian election, less than 48 hours after Trump met with Netanyahu. The Israelis are gunning for Carney and coercing the liberal party to pledge fealty. It’s time to stop appeasing war criminals. It’s the same act they hit the US Democratic Party with. #cdnpoli

Refreshing to hear a platform on crime that actually appears based on Canadian laws and values as opposed to the Poilievre love affair with all things MAGA.

a new idea in the US administration: add living people to the database of deceased so that they are automatically excluded from benefit and the remaining government services i guess. 'your opposition make you dead to us'.

Carney is so refreshingly straightforward, & polite but firm with sloppy right-wing big media.
