🧵”The smoke has crossed the border because the fires haven’t respected one.” Canada is burning. The smoke is a symptom, not the tragedy! My heart is with every family forced to evacuate & every firefighter putting themselves in harm’s way! 🇨🇦💔 #Canada #Wildfires #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance

WOW -- Danish reporter *goes there* with Rutte "You sit next to Trump when he talks about conquering Greenland, lashes out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

My dear fellow Canadians... Kristi Noem needs to be banned from Canadian soil. She's a racist & bigot, who we all know from her abductions of brown people via ICE, the murder of civilians she made excuses for, & general fraud of the US taxpayers with her alultderous partner, to benefit... Vid👇🏼

We can build walls or we can be more ambitious — and build something better, stronger, and more just.
Photo of Prime Minister Carney speaking at a podium in Davos, Switzerland. A quote from his speech is edited on top: “WHEN THE RULES NO LONGER PROTECT YOU, YOU MUST PROTECT YOURSELF. BUT LET US BE CLEAR-EYED ABOUT WHERE THIS LEADS. A WORLD OF FORTRESSES WILL BE POORER, MORE FRAGILE, AND LESS SUSTAINABLE.”

For all of its great prime ministers, #Canada has never had one who was known for their ability to deliver stirring speeches, much less ones with global import and impact. In a remarkable 16-minute-long speech delivered /1 thread www.nationalobserver.com/2026/01/20/o...

His speech in Davos might be the most important one ever delivered by a Canadian prime minister. Its consequences will determine his place in history — and ours.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's speech today is one of the most insightful, albeit sobering, political speeches in a long time. Carney tells it as it is: "If you're not at the table you'll be on the menu." Well worth finding the time to watch: www.youtube.com/live/dE981Z_...

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

This is what fascism looks like. This is what terrorism looks like. This is what war crimes looks like. This is what murder looks like. The media will sensationalize and normalize it for profit whilst half of Congress sends out letters and the other half drool with excitement.

The Ontario facility, which bottles Crown Royal products, closes in Feb in a move to improve its North American supply chain. Bottling for the U.S. market moves stateside. When Canada is being attacked, you don’t move your plant to the US and leave a whole Canadian town unemployed. #cdnpoli
