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.

Doug Ford needs to cancel Ontario’s contract with Starlink now. Absolutely solidarity with Ukraine but also to avoid it being used as a bargaining chip by Musk and Trump against Canada. Right now, Premier Ford.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

🚨🚨 It’s time to take the US tourism boycott global. 🚨🚨 Tourism to the USA is a $2.3 trillion a year industry. Over $1 trillion comes from overseas (non-US) travellers. Want to hit Trump where it hurts? ✅ Boycott all US travel while MAGA holds office. #BoycottUSTravel

Trump's continual attacks on our country is helping to solidify a national resistance movement. The boycott against American products, alcohol and vacation destinations is having an effect. Stay strong. We will not break. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JH1A...

You got a fucking do over, America, and you did this.

BTW, Trump was still doing his 51st state “shtick” today and Musk is his right hand man. There’s clearly a willingness on the US side to use whatever leverage they have over us, why give them more? If Canada is serious about defending our sovereignty, that Starlink deal needs to die.

A private citizen, with the backing of the President, illegally shut down a major government agency over the weekend and it is not on the front page of this morning's New York Times @peterbakernyt.bsky.social

There's no northern-border problem, no fentanyl, and therefore the entire rationale for tariffs is, as everyone knows, a vain delusion beyond the explication of any economic knowledge. And as such they're probably illegal -- Krugman

1 of my first skeets: Hi #Econsky Is anyone in the U.S. creating archives (and back-up archives) of historic data, rulings and initiatives at the FTC and SEC, and other official statistics for public use when the predictable erasure of facts and surveys starts to occur?

So if I’m understanding today correctly, the world’s richest person Elon Musk, whom no one elected, is taking over federal payment systems and employee data while the federal employees who investigate and prosecute public corruption are being fired en masse.

I hear there are stories coming, but putting the brakes on our country’s world-leading medical research system feels like a five alarm fire and I don’t see a newspaper that even has it on the front page yet

The confirmation hearings for Trump's clown car cabinet will be the first test of whether Democrats can act in a strategic and coordinated way, or will all go off in their own ineffectual directions. I'm not optimistic.

EXCELLENT by Rebecca Solnit: "The first thing to say about the hate and scorn currently directed at the mainstream US media is that they worked hard to earn it." Did the media learn nothing from its disastrous coverage of Trump and Clinton in 2016? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
