As the federal government prepares to weather tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, Indigenous rights and reconciliation have taken a back seat to discussing the expansion of resource development, fuelling the domestic economy and diversifying Canada’s trade partners.

Wow—15 international students at the University of Central Florida have had their visas revoked as a result of the school's signed partnership with ICE. One was detained. Literally handed over to immigration cops by their own university. Despicable.

When did YouTube change their settings and no longer has a method for blocking a specific channel? I can't find a setting that allows me to block a specific channel. I can block a user from commenting on my youtube page but that seems to be it. #youtube

The trope that universities are "dependent" on the federal government fundamentally misunderstands how vital this partnership has been for the US. The private sector can't replace it. If we kill it, we're all worse off. From @donmoyn.bsky.social and me: donmoynihan.substack.com/p/are-univer...

The CPC platform assumes strong economic growth for it to work. How does anyone make such an assumption when Trump is tearing apart the world economy? Poilievre is imprudent, untrustworthy, and has no positive forward vision. #Canada please vote wisely. #cnpoli

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —Arrested at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

This is one of the most remarkable court opinions I have ever read. This makes it as clear as possible that the very legitimacy of our structure of government stands on the edge of the abyss.
