Brilliant but devastating editorial in the Financial Times. “In the past 10 days, he [Trump] has all but incinerated 80 years of postwar American leadership. If you are not at the table, you are on the menu. America has turned.”

I'm hearing a lot of divided opinion nationally on the issue of Ian hanomansing having to give me his house. In the interest of balance, I'll make sure both sides are given equal space, obviously. But obviously we'll be having this conversation ignoring any other dynamics at play. So that'll be fun.

Hey CBC, don’t do this. It’s not a “proposal.” Having different wording on your website won’t diminish the harm done by having Canada’s national broadcaster treat this as a serious conversation (see below for how it’s being portrayed on the relatively sane CPAC…). Pull out of this disaster now.

Donald Trump says Canada has no right to exist. I take the threat seriously. With our sovereignty on the table I support a national discussion on next steps. But CBC thinks it would be fun to have an American DJ co-host whether we should exist as a nation. Fuck that @ianhanomansing.bsky.social

Hanomansing and CBC are being absolutely slammed here and on X for this collaborationist normalizing. He won't listen though, he'll just post some condescending nonsense about people being upset at him "just asking questions". CBC needs to do much better in this moment.

One last thing I’ll say about this is that judging by people’s messages, the audio version has some stuff not in the edited online transcript, including a discussion of the false tension around empathy in journalism, and a bit about paying attention to sparrows.

I've been thinking about the common criticism that Canadian culture is just "not American." Here's the thing, though: that's only a thing that's thrown out because we have literally one neighbour. We're also not German, English or Australian, it's just the geography that brings up the not US thing

Please read my latest reflection. There are lies we tell to comfort ourselves. Like Democrats who say we just have to wait two year and Trump will lose control of the House. Like those in Germany who promoted Hitler while believing they could control him. charlieangus.substack.com/p/the-reichs...

YES! Please follow the excellent advice of @drjaredwesley.bsky.social ⤵️. It is super easy to do, so pull up your MLA’s contact info and get typing or dialing. Alberta’s democracy is on the line!

“I spent hours with him and walked with him thru Auschwitz. I stood with him, looking at the nauseating heaps of hair, luggage, & shoes flooded with violet light meant to preserve it. Is Musk an antisemite? People, actually, it’s worse—he doesn’t care whatsoever…He was unmoved by the experience.”

Each of these four points is crucially important. They explain why Ukraine is not lost — and Europe is not threatened — without the United States. More commitment and expenditure will be required, but there’s no reason for surviving democracies to capitulate

Hello, Bluesky. Happy Saturday. Here’s a 🧵 Yesterday, RCMP formally apologized to myself & journalist Jerome Turner for “unreasonable interference.” They’re sorry he was “threatened w/ arrest for being in an exclusion zone, detained & had his movements controlled.” ricochet.media/labour/media...

Elon Musk is a bandit. And Doug Ford just signed $100 million deal with him. Meanwhile he and Trump are trying to crush the people of Ukraine. Doug Ford says it's the "best bang for the buck." No Doug, this is what vichy collaborators do. Slava Ukraini

Liebe deutsche Freunde wir hören in Kanada, wie die rechtsextreme AfD deshalb gute Umfragewerte hat, teilweise weil sie „stark in den sozialen Medien“ ist, versucht, Mainstream zu werden und Elon Musk sich einmischt . Schaut doch das Chaos, das Musk und Extremisten in den USA anrichten, genau an.

I 💯 agree with @nicktsergas.ca. The question itself is abhorrent. I suspect most Canadians will find this framing to be traitorous. Discuss how we feel about a former ally even suggesting such a thing. But do not suggest that it is worthy of consideration. It is not! @ianhanomansing.bsky.social

For the finance hawks who didn't want to vote for Trudeau, have listen to Carney's plan. There is a better way to manage gov spending & still invest in Canada. Poilievre is going to take the Trump approach & Carney is going to be methodical & collaborative #ElectCarney www.cpac.ca/headline-pol...
