Study I am reading: "One-sided messages that use irony to deride those who believe that climate change is a hoax raises belief certainty in and perceived risk of climate change for those who do not already believe climate change is an important issue."

Probably best to avoid North American airspace for the next few years.

I don’t understand why he’s still trying these dumb wedge issues when the country is publicly desperate for united patriotic leadership. He’s getting really bad advice right now. Or not listening to the advice he’s getting. Seriously.

Facts.....

I have read the entire statement of claim filed by Ms. Mentzelopoulos’ legal team. It’s a doozy. If you haven’t read it, you should. www.scribd.com/document/827... Of course, the government will respond, but Christ on a bike. A really long thread. 🧵 1/

BREAKING: Federal court pushes White House "buyout" deadline to Monday

Cory Doctorow tells Jesse about a novel strategy for Canada to fight back against Trump’s Trade War — Hitting America where it hurts: right in the dongle.

That last paragraph is how you know Nova Scotians mean business

I’ve got to agree with the Wall Street Journal editorial board this time.

The U.S. anthem at Canadian rinks should be played by a 10-year old on a recorder until the tariffs are lifted.

I will not be attending conferences in the USA as long as tariffs are in place (and long, long after). Booked for Australia and Europe instead. And I spent the day confirming travel plans to Mexico, ensuring no stops in the USA. I'm about to hit new levels of petty as a Canadian consumer. 🇨🇦💪

I lately got hacked via PayPal for $8,000. My bank managed to return some but PayPal refuses to acknowledge thousands even though the charge does not show up in my list of transactions.
