What do we really mean by free speech? Social media bosses are suddenly all for it, but these vigorous defenders of free speech also often have a curiously narrow set of interests over which they wish to exercise it, by Farrah Jarral www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f... via @theguardian.com

Just to add context: the CDU, a pro-immigration conservative party pushing for more European independence from the U.S., won. The AfD, backed by Trump and Elon and aligned with Republican-style anti-immigration views, lost. I’m not sure why he’s celebrating, his side actually lost.

TARIFFS FACT CHECKING: "The gap between imports and exports left the U.S. with a $63-billion US trade deficit with Canada last year, down from just over $64 billion US in 2023. That's much less than Trump's purported $200 billion." - CBC News #tariffs #trump #factchecked 🇨🇦🤝🇺🇸

“Today, DEI has become the new N-word; the new rightwing abstraction deployed by Republicans to conceal their anti-Black racism.” My latest for the Guardian, in which I cite Lee Atwater, and bring lots of receipts. Sorry, but it has to be said:

Boycotting American products is the right idea, but many shared product lists are inaccurate. E.g. Heinz ketchup and Kraft products are made with Cdn ingredients/workers. Instead, check for labels like "Made in Canada," "Product of Canada," or Cdn commodity logos. Support Canadian workers!

In 2010, we visited and photographed Dachau—the first and longest-operating Nazi concentration camp. The atrocities committed are unspeakable. We should never forget. What human beings can and will do to one another is devastating. We must never, ever forget.

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good. Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

Donald Trump's repeated threats to Canadian sovereignty are reminding us of how vulnerable we are -- and what we need to do to fix that. Could he accidentally end up making Canada great again? #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2025/01/24/o...

As a Canadian, 2 things are very clear today. 1. I’m VERY glad Canada & the United States are not the same country, and are in fact VERY different. 2. I will support the Political Party and potential Prime Minister in this year’s Canadian Federal Election that will best protect Canada from Trump.

I hate many of Doug Ford’s policies too especially on the environment and climate and have spent a lot of my time fighting them. However, I can still like his hat and I do admire him for standing up for our country in face of Trump. Some things are bigger than partisan politics. ❤️🇨🇦#TeamCanada
