Donald Trump says Canada has no right to exist. I take the threat seriously. With our sovereignty on the table I support a national discussion on next steps. But CBC thinks it would be fun to have an American DJ co-host whether we should exist as a nation. Fuck that @ianhanomansing.bsky.social

Preferential voting is such a good idea; I don't know why more countries don't adopt it. You can vote for a candidate with the best policies, even if it is unlikely they will get elected, and then give it to the best of the alternatives so you don't "waste your vote."

"I won't give ongoing commentary on everything that Donald Trump says" But Albanese can no longer pretend that an upending of US foreign policy doesn't matter to Australia. #AUKUS was a dangerous and costly folly before Trump. Now it's catastrophic. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Dept of Social Services disclosed private legal letters with the Catholic Church which were then leaked to The Australian newspaper and used in concert to try and silence survivors of abuse by a senior Church member.

Not long after I submitted my application to the national redress scheme I received a phone call from the local police where the abuse occurred. The Catholic church had reported my application to police after the government provided my application to the church.
