Canadian PM, Justin Trudeau, in a masterclass speech on how to speak to a bully. Well said, Justin. Doubt Donald is listening, but we are. Australians stand with Canadians 🇦🇺🇨🇦.

It’s been pointed out for a long time how inappropriate it is to call U.S. citizens “Americans” since every nation in North and South America has the same claim to that word. But I think many, including me, went along with it out of respect. Is that still warranted? Trump likes renaming things…

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

Wow. I already looked at Zelenskyy as a hero for standing up to Putin's invasion. Even more today watching him stand firm and speak reality, while Trump & Vance shout at him, and shit on him publicly like playground bullies. Then Trump PRAISES Putin openly while Vance nods like a dimwit. Grotesque!

I’d like to apologize to President Zelenskyy and the people of Ukraine on behalf of the people of the United States of America

Kevin O'Leary to @ianhanomansing.bsky.social on Cross Country Checkup, rough quote: "The Canadian dollar has dropped 40% against the US dollar under Trudeau." Fact check: the CAD has dropped 34% from the 2011 peak, but just 4% of that drop happened under Trudeau. The big drop happened under Harper.

Those who actually do rise up to stop Trump, Musk, Project 2025 and the GOP in this moment of true peril will be the next generation of undisputed leaders.

Many U.S. medical researchers are about to be fired. On behalf of Canada, we will build labs and assist however we can but we would like the patents to remain Canadian so we can enjoy some public benefit from the discoveries. Thanks. Can’t wait to see you.

In one fell swoop, Donald Trump has turned Canadian politics upside down. The Trudeau cabinet is coming apart at the seams, with the shocking departure of Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland. Michael Harris on where that leaves the Liberals. 🇺🇸🇨🇦

“The phenomenon is known as #InducedDemand. The result is an endless cycle in which congestion leads to highway expansion, which invites more trips, which brings back traffic…The pattern is so inevitable that economists have dubbed it the iron law of congestion.” slate.com/business/202...
