!!!! NEW: Canada is summoning Israel's ambassador after the IDF shot at four Canadian diplomatic officials in Ramallah earlier today.

$6.5bn, all equity, total nonsense company. 55 people who have built nothing and have just as much to show. This is bubble trouble baby

Killer lettuce. Killer tomatoes. Killer rice. Now the US has killer cucumbers. If you’re one of the few people still buying US produce or shopping cross border- stop. #cdnpoli #shopcanadian #elbowsup #foodrecall www.allrecipes.com/cucumber-rec...

Just reposting this which I think is the most gorgeous thing I have seen in my career - a critically endangered orange-bellied parrot feeding on a carpet of daisies after an ecological burn. This was the first time they’d had the chance to feed naturally in 15y and was wonderful to witness 😭😭😭🧡🧡🧡🧡

Here’s a video of Bernie Sanders 21 years ago explaining how the Republicans win even though no one likes their policies. How Republicans split and divide and win. #MomSky #Voices4Victory

Crows in a lab were able to distinguish shapes that exhibited right angles, parallel lines, and symmetry, suggesting that, like humans, they have a special ability to perceive geometric regularity.

Trump Tariff game is actually a sick tariff game orange turd is manically playing. I raise tariffs, you better not reciprocate...oh, you didn't reciprocate, then you're a good boy for 90 days. Then Trump says he's a brilliant negotiator. Next day, new Trump Tariff game move.

beijing foreign ministry spox lin jian on jd vance’s “chinese peasants” comment “it’s both astonishing and lamentable to hear this vice-president make such ignorant and disrespectful remarks.” “pressure, threats and blackmail are not the right way to deal with china.”

Everyone is wondering why Trump supports tariffs, but he keeps explaining it live to camera: he wants to take us back to a 1870-style Guilded Age economy where oligarchs rules without an income tax and we regularly had financial crises due to a total absence of regulations.

Too many in your face online gambling commercials when watching baseball and hockey in Ontario. What a gambling addiction disaster. #Gambling #Onpoli

I first started reporting on the Republican-Russian-Musk plan to crash the US economy back in early 2021. Here's my piece from summer 2024. No one can say no one knew this was coming. washingtonspectator.org/peter-thiel-...

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

For a long time I doubted the business case for cryptocurrency. I see it now: it's the money we will use to pay the smugglers and black marketeers who bootleg bananas past Trump's border guards.

We all must make sacrifices for Party and Leader For imported coffee, we can substitute proud American chicory or acorns flavored with coal tar, as the Germans learned to do during their experiment with national socialism

"Canadian general who recommended F-35 deal now calls for purchase of other jets. Retired Lt.-Gen. Blondin says building Canada’s future fighter force solely on the American-made F-35 would be 'irresponsible' given the hostility of the U.S. gov." @ottawacitizen.com ottawacitizen.com/public-servi...

Gotta say, the "Hide this post for me" setting over here is a lifesaver. Annoying meme making you lose your shit? Hide it! Discourse got you down? Hide it! Hot Take Harry got all your pals all in a lather? Hide it!

Oh backwards Utah. If only there were some 2011 event that could teach us about what may happen. Oh I remember, Calgary reversed the decision 13 years later because they noticed a significant rise in decalcification along the gum line. #Utah #USPol #Canada apnews.com/article/utah...

I honestly cannot express how awesome it is that the DoD was putting out these statements at the literal exact same time that the Secretary of Defense was negligently transmitting classified information on an unsecure platform to a journalist. It's just utterly amazing. What a time to be alive.

CNN put together a collection of clips of various Trump officials who were on the signal chat criticizing Hillary Clinton’s email server

“There is no Trump, Musk or DOGE gutting democracy without collaborator (Leonard Leo) judges… Leo spent more than 35 years and $600 million corrupting the US federal judiciary” Without Citizens United, we would not have billionaire dark money controlling politics This timeline is well-researched

New requirements that Social Security recipients go online or in person to a field office to access key benefits, instead of making a phone call, could pose barriers to people in rural communities who lack internet access or transportation.

Haha freak. Italy suspends Starlink purchase negotiations with SpaceX amid Musk controversy. #Musk #Starlink kyivindependent.com/italy-suspen...

Canada faces profound threats and needs to protect its information system just as we do our financial system. @taylorowen.bsky.social and I explain why 🇨🇦 needs a minister of communications in today’s @thestar.com

Peter Frampton "Do You Feel Like I Do" woo hoo #At40

It appears that Americans are smuggling cheaper eggs across the border from Canada and not fentanyl. U.S. officials cracking down on people trying to bring valuable eggs across the border. Egg interceptions up 116% so far this year, while seizures of fentanyl down 32% www.cbc.ca/news/world/u...

A strong, secure Arctic is essential to Canada’s sovereignty. The world is changing. Our adversaries are watching. We’re making investments now to keep Canada safe for generations to come. ici.radio-canada.ca/rci/en/news/...

While the U.S. grapples with an egg shortage caused by avian flu, eggs remain plentiful and affordable in Canada. There are reasons for that, including that egg farms there tend to be smaller.

US soybean exports were victims of Trump trade wars in his first administration. Trump second term is doing damage to all other ag exports.

Trump lies and lies some more. His brain is a mesh of rotting lies. It was a shameful ad plug at the White House and I doubt he'll be buying the Tesla.

Okay Jan.
