I've fact-checked this fake image of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein multiple times in the last couple of years and it keeps getting posted again and again. The image is AI-generated. It's not real.

They fuck you up, your mum and dad. They may not mean to, but they do. They fill you with the faults they had And add some extra, just for you… Man hands on misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf. Get out as early as you can, And don’t have any kids yourself. Philip Larkin, Hull

On July 4th it will be interesting to see who in the Ottawa insider class decide to go to the MAGA embassy to indulge in the white wine, shrimp canapes and garden party talk. Even as they threaten our jobs and nation. Not to worry, ordinary Canadians will hold the line.

Trump’s military parade is June 14. The G7 begins June 15. Any of the leaders attending the G7 stopping over in Washington DC first to take in Trump’s spectacle and ingratiate themselves? Modi, perhaps?

Lots going on in this article. Some questions that I hope there will be answers on later today. 1) Article says current DND spending is $41B/yr but public accounts has it at $33B/yr. www.tbs-sct.canada.ca/ems-sgd/edb-.... Not sure why the discrepancy, but it matters for how fast big new $$…

“Imagine yourself as a foreigner considering investing in the United States. You may well know that the One Big Beautiful Bill Act contains a “revenge” provision that would allow the U.S. government to impose extra taxes on foreign investors whose home countries have policies America doesn’t like.”

We in Canada may be tempted to look away, to be glad California is far away, but this is happening on our doorstep and in a country to whom we are tied in trade, security & culture. We should be paying attention.

Elizabeth May pays heartfelt tribute to the late Marc Garneau. "He packed up his briefcase, buckled it, and started to walk past me. I said, 'Mark, this is it, you're going today? This is it?" So I threw my arms around him. I gave him the biggest hug. It's the last time I saw him." #cdnpoli

Canada is sending refugees back to the US -- a regime that violates their rights and deports women and children. We have obligations to those people. It's time we honoured them. Mr. Carney, tear down that wall. My latest substack. open.substack.com/pub/caroloff...

Went down some rabbit holes trying to find how much Canada has collected in import duties - finally found the line in the fiscal monitor - last March Canada collected $427M, this March it shot up to $1,044M. Table 2, here: publications.gc.ca/collections/...

Thread 👇 Trump’s travel bans and border bullying of “foreigners” entering the US have to be imperilling international sports events being hosted in the US. By this point the World Cup and the Summer Olympics should be relocated to Greenland.
