Said the man Trump calls communist: ‘It’s not radical … that you don’t think the president should be able to deny elections, or make $2.2bn out of his role in office. It’s not radical to believe all of us should be able to breathe clean air and drink clean water.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

OSSOFF on Trump Address: At a moment when his war spirals out of control, instead of focusing on the nation's needs, as always, he nurses his grievances and he forces the rest of us to help him process his shame.

On this day in 1780, the sky over Eastern Canada darkened to the point that candles were needed from 12 p.m. until the following night. It is believed that smoke from forest fires in the area of present-day Algonquin Provincial Park were the cause.
Sepia-toned engraving of a rural scene under very dark skies. A large house stands in the middle distance, partially obscured by tall, narrow trees and dense foliage. In the foreground, several figures walk along a dirt road, one holding a bright light or torch that illuminates the ground. To the right, a team of horses pulls a wagon. The sky appears heavily shaded, with faint outlines of birds in flight.

On April 12, 1945, Canadian soldiers Léo Major and Wilfrid Arsenault entered Zwolle to scout German defenses. By the next day, the Germans were gone and the Régiment de la Chaudière liberated the city without firing a shot. This is the story of the Rambo of Quebec. 🧵 1/10
Wilfrid Arsenault and Léo Major stand on a wooden swing set beneath a leafy tree. Wilfrid Arsenault, on the left, wears a military uniform with a beret, standing with one foot on the swing’s lower bar and his hands clasped in front. Léo Major, on the right, wears a suit and tie, holding the swing rope with one hand while resting a foot on the lower bar. A wooden fence and open yard are visible behind them, with sunlight creating clear shadows on the ground.

I think buddy is misunderstanding what has made Carney so popular. It's more 'centrist,' fine. But he's popular because (per every poll conducted in Canada since last year) people believe he's competent. Competency and ideology *can* be in conflict with each other, but they don't have to be!
