🇮🇹🇺🇦 Meloni said that extending Article 5 of NATO to Ukraine "seems to be the simplest and most effective proposal of all, and it will help call Russia's possible bluff." ❗️"If Russia does not plan to invade again, it is unclear why it should not accept security guarantees that are only defensive."

Question for the "growth should pay for growth" pro-development charge crowd. When the City of Ottawa has to pay billions widening roads to support commuters living in Carleton Place and Arnprior, who pays for that? Who should pay for that?

Russians agree to stop bombing energy infrastructure for a month but insist they couldn’t possibly stop bombing schools, hospitals, and apartment buildings full of sleeping families.

It is often claimed that Trump is unpredictable, but he is so predictable: He wants to rule as a dictator not restricted by any laws or institutions. He wants as much wealth as possible for himself. He could not care less about the American people or its welfare. He loves dictators.

The recent US rhetoric about Canada and Greenland, as @bobbyrae48.bsky.social and others have pointed out, is about the Arctic ocean. It's great to see our leaders focusing on the real, as opposed to spurious, threats from USA's Dear Leader. www.cp24.com/politics/202... #cdnpoli #arcticocean

After seeing the post by Bob Rae, I tried to get a view of the arctic where the North Pole is centred. Not possible on Google Maps! This serves a subtle purpose- to prevent one from seeing the interconnectedness of the Arctic. Instead the Equator is the orientation of Google Maps. #nordicalliance

Putting the Arctic Ocean closer to the center, this brings the Greenland Canada gambit into focus. It is a grab for power, money, water, and resources, also giving the US complete control over the Northwest Passage. Fentanyl and the border are a smokescreen for a much bigger project: theft.

It's hard to believe this is happening. The Dartington Trust, here in South Devon, is behaving like Donald Trump: it seems to have no conception of the value it is destroying. This is its latest act of mindless vandalism. What the hell is going on? www.agroforestry.co.uk/save-darting...

Our team has a good understanding of the situation in Kursk. There are no encircled troops. The retreat was generally organized but occasionally chaotic. There is no threat of encirclement, and no evidence suggests otherwise. It’s wise to rely on intelligence, not Putin’s word

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired! New ride coming soon.

Why are we tanking the market for a completely pointless trade war with our allies again? If you’re arguing that trade deficits are always bad (they’re not, but let’s pretend), Canada is only 7% of our deficit. Why aren’t we focused on a larger problem?

I'm not seeing mainstream discussion of the possiblity of Libs and NDP forming a new agreement to govern, and Parliament resuming without a general election (until the fall)? As @ryancoleman.ca points out, not much NDP Incentive to trigger an election. bsky.app/profile/ryan...

We need to look to the Nordic countries for welfare state ideas and guidance, as well as economic innovation. Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Denmark. A strong Nordic alliance centered around the Arctic ocean has short and long term potential. #cdnpoli #canada #nordicalliance

Imagine how much less polarized and more connected we would be if every neighborhood and town had beautiful, walkable public spaces like this. But apparently, I’ve been told that no one prefers this over endless strip malls.
