Anyone who continues to insist that Canada should sit down and negotiate with the US should read this (free gift link) from the Economist which describes the US demands on Ukraine. -> extortionate offer; nothing in return. -> multiple un-coordinated US 'negotiation' teams. econ.st/3ENoVEf

The optics of firing a stellar Black general to replace him with an unqualified white one proves that MAGA does believe in affirmative action after all. Also what we already knew: unqualified white guys are always the best fit for the job.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

In 1914 Parliament sat for 5 days after declaration of war then adjourned for 5 mos In 1939 sat for 4 days to declare war then adjouned for 4 mos. In 2020, adjouned March 13 then sat for 14 days over next 6 mos. It would be good for Parl to be in session but not convinced it's all that decisive.

My latest. As journalists and writers, we have a duty to use language that is accurate and describes our current reality. I’m no longer going to talk about DEI/Anti-DEI. Let’s be clear. We are facing racial purges and re-segregation. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

It’s VERY important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against downtown bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of the evidence that they are better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced. Bike-lanes mean business.

3 days ago, AIPAC and the ADL would have called you antisemitic for warning there might be a mass ethnic cleansing of Gaza. Now Trump + Bibi are advocating it. And they will assent. Because there is no limit. That's what it means to treat a state like a god. peterbeinart.substack.com/p/from-green...

Getting out of the immediate moment of crisis was always a prerequisite. But we're a very dumb country if we allow this Sword of Damocles to continue to be hung over us. Keep buying Canadian, keep diversifying trade, keep thinking about a world with a less reliable America. Let's learn something.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

It would only begin with our caving to Trump's immediate demands on border security. Next he demands US banks enter Canada. Then it'll be ceding Arctic sovereignty. Then it will be the 51st state. No concessions. It's time for a proper war footing, and Vichy Canadians can get fucked.

The moment of immediate crisis has been put off (Canada isn't being hit with 25% tariffs today). But our underlying vulnerability remains. This should be a wakeup call. Canada needs to focus on three things, all of which will take time to build or rebuild: - Economy - Culture - Military (🧵 1/11)

I’ve often said lawyers and accountants have a lot to answer for in designing government procurement systems. Per this article the insurance and experience requirements for RFPs often bear no relationship to the requirements of the jobs and exclude SMEs in the local community. It needs to change.

What if we designed our cities, and the land-uses, densities & infrastructure that make them what they are, so that daily activity and exercise was just a normal, ordinary, almost “invisible” part of every day life? It’s actually not that hard. We just have to change our priorities. #HealthyCities

If the government shuts down Saturday, the richest man in the world will be largely to blame. You may not get access to services you depend on just before the holidays because an unelected billionaire shadow president wanted it that way. If this isn’t oligarchy, I don’t know what is.
