China has suspended exports of certain rare earth minerals and magnets to the US and around the world. China is drafting a new regulatory approach to the minerals to prevent them reaching American companies

Heads up everyone: Microsoft is reactivating Windows Recall. arstechnica.com/security/202... This is a big security risk, even if you don't use windows!

So Global news is reporting that what a lot of people quietly suspected was the reason why the leader of a Canadian political party refused to get the security clearance necessary to read the report on foreign interference in canadian elections is … a darn good guess, actually:

This post is exactly the sort of energy we need to bring into 2025. We need to reconsider what's actually important to us and what we can shed, and we shed everything that we don't actually need. We've been boxed and packaged by the tech corps, and desperately need to escape that.

Albertans - urban & rural - have been clear - they don’t want a provincial police force. But the Premier does, so the UCP are to use millions in public money to force one through. I asked Public Safety Minister Mike Ellis why. #ableg

Because autocrats fear a strong Canada led by Mark Carney, Chinese, American & Russian trolls are active online. Ignore Poilievre projection. Poilievre's false claim Americans would prefer to negotiate with Liberal PM Mark Carney is laughable. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

This is high art

Something to send to anyone who's upset about the whole "Century Initiative" nonsense.

After many years of covering election campaigns in Canada, USA and Europe, the Conservative Party of Canada is the most outwardly aggressive and uncivilized that I’ve witnessed. It’s on par with Viktor Orbán in Hungary and the Republican Party in the USA. canadianjournalist.ca/poilievre-ca...

From the DM’s… This is just heartbreaking. And it’s Albertans healthcare that’s being butchered. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
