Putin's attempt to take Ukraine is echoed in Trump's attempt to control Canada. Though v different scenarios, the more powerful countries seeking to dominate smaller ones receive a bloody nose and long term pain, with the smaller countries pivoting more strongly to Europe as an upshot.

From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.

A series of posts from journalist Mark Chadbourn reporting on the acceptance speech of Péter Magyar after Hungarian elections:

Péter Magyar: "Our country wants to live again. It wants to be a European country again."

Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 24m
Magyar's speech is powered. From a contact in the audience: "He's basically just asked all the puppets, all the supreme justices, all the heads of media, all the heads of the ministries to leave their jobs tomorrow and not wait to be fired."

•..
Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 22m
He's announced that Hungary will join the European Prosecution Office so anyone in the country can be charged.

Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 21m
Magyar: "No mercy, they will need to take responsibility for all their actions."

...
Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 20m
Magyar says he's starting work with the EU and NATO immediately.
"The EU doesn't have to worry anymore."

"If great powers abandon even the pretense of rules & values for the unhindered pursuit of their power & interest, the gains from transactionalism will become harder to replicate" -- Carney's speech at Davos is an extended criticism of the damage Trump is doing (though he's not mentioning his name)

Solidarity with Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation and all First Nations in Alberta fighting these nonsense separatist efforts. Alt text in quoted image shared in the reposted image here. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

For Immediate Release
Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation Files Claim Over Separatist Petition
Treaty No. 8 Territory - January 2, 2026.

No separation of Alberta from Canada can occur without First Nation consent. This is Treaty land. This is the law.

Despite this, today, the Chief Electoral Officer followed the blatantly unconstitutional law passed by the UCP and approved a separatist petition in violation of Treaty No. 8. This petition will invite foreign interference and economic, societal, and legal harm on all Canadians who live in Alberta, but especially all First Nations. This was approved all while the Courts were closed. They reopen Monday.

Tonight, we have filed a Statement of Claim in the Alberta Court of King's Bench against Alberta, Canada, and the Chief Electoral Officer for failing to diligently implement the Treaty and for breaching the treaty.

On Monday, we will file an urgent injunction to pause the petition to avoid the foreseeable harms that will result from this petition.

We invite all First Nations and Canadians to support us.

Kinanâskomitin,
Chief Sheldon Sunshine
