Typically in Canada Grades 2 to 5 students explore the water cycle, weather, and states of matter so I am 100% sure every 6th grader in Canada is smarter than this idiot and knows contrails are in the sky and chemtrails are in the minds of morons.

Canada's access to the EU's single market would have unfathomable ramifications. Canadian consumers would gain Europe's unrivaled privacy and consumer laws, w/ GDPR compliance becoming required in Canada. A huge w for rules-based international order, which the US blatantly disregards. This is HUGE.

with ALT text because everyone should read this!!!
I'm not sure how to start this. So I'm going to speak from the heart and share the truth. Ed Sheeran and his team have made the decision to remove me from The Loop tour.
But before I get into it, I want to say something that should be obvious. In this moment I think it matters. I am not a victim. Ed Sheeran is not a victim. Pink is not a victim. We have careers, money, opportunities, safety and audiences around the world. Whatever consequences any of us face for what we say, we get to go home to our families.
The victims are the Palestinian people. The men, women and children who have been killed, starved, displaced and forced to live through unimaginable violence. More than 20,000 children have been killed in Gaza alone. People are being killed today, and people will be killed tomorrow. I want to make sure that as I tell this story, we don't lose sight of that.
Ed is my friend. I've known him for 13 years. We've shared late nights, studio sessions and stages. He has this infectious magic about him that I've grown to love. I consider him a brother. And because of that, we've had some difficult conversations this past week. The type of talks rooted in love and respect for one another that still end in a place of fundamental disagreement. Nothing I'm writing here is out of spite or because I want to tear down his character. But as I told Ed multiple times on the phone, our friendship can't change my responsibility to tell the truth about what happened.Last Monday, in the middle of all the media attention surrounding Pink and what I said at MetLife, Ed told me that Robert Kraft called him. We were scheduled to play Gillette Stadium later this month, which is owned by the Kraft Group. Ed told me that Kraft said I would not be allowed to perform in his stadium. Ed also told me that Kraft had rallied some of the other stadium owners and collectively they gave him an ultimatum: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you will not be allowed to play in our venues.
Ed was in a fucked up position. He knew it. His typical apolitical stance was being challenged in a way it never had been before. He told me that the words
"Free Palestine" and the image of the Palestinian flag were hurtful to a lot of people he spoke with. I told him that if those words were more offensive than tens of thousands of Palestinian children being killed by Israel, then there was a fundamental disconnect between where those people stood and where I stood. But he couldn't get past his public facing, "I don't take sides."
And I get why people don't. Taking a side can cost you. Money, brand deals, sponsorships, festivals, private shows, relationships and access. I've lost all of those things. But there is no neutral position between the oppressor and the oppressed. When one side has the bombs and bottomless financial and military support from America, refusing to take a side doesn't leave you in the middle.What I said at MetLife I have been saying on stages around the world for almost three years. So why is it an issue now? Because now I'm sharing a stage with one of the biggest artists in the world, in some of the biggest stadiums in America. At a certain level of exposure, "Free Palestine" becomes too much of a risk. If I kept doing the shows, saying Free Palestine, with Ed implicitly supporting it, the crowd getting loud and showing undeniable support for Palestinian liberation, what artist might speak out next? The stage becomes resistance. Maybe that's why this time it became so important to silence me.
And one of the most effective ways to enforce that silence has been to weaponize the accusation of antisemitism. Antisemitism is real. And that is exactly why the word matters too much to be used as a shield against criticism of the Israeli state. When criticizing Israel, opposing Zionism or saying "Free Palestine" gets conflated with hatred of Jewish people, it doesn't protect Jewish people. It protects Israel from accountability.
I hope this isn't the end of my relationship with Ed.
Thirteen years of friendship doesn't disappear because of one painful disagreement. I hope we both continue listening, studying what is happening in Palestine and wrestling with what neutrality means in a moment like this. My door will always be open to continuing that conversation.When my brother Omar was doing the subtitles for the video I posted from MetLife, I thanked him. He told me there's a phrase in Arabic:
لا شكر على واجب
"La shukra ala wajeb." There is no thanks for a duty.
That stayed with me. Because that's what this has become for me and millions of others around the world. A duty. Not something deserving of praise or gratitude. Not brave. Human.
Who is winning the internet, who is getting canceled, who gets to play the stadium and who doesn't, all of it becomes so small when held against what we are actually witnessing in Gaza and the West Bank. An entire people being displaced, starved and killed while the world debates which words we are allowed to use to describe it, how those words make us feel, and whether our discomfort matters more than the people living through a genocide.
I didn't need 10 shows from Ed. I needed 2. Two chances to stand in front of 90,000 people and say the words that somehow became too dangerous to say.
Free Palestine.
But if those words cost me the stage, while turning the conversation back to Palestine, then it was the most successful tour l've ever been on.

Whether to move obviously depends on the details of the business. But the incentive is in how Canada differs from the US and certainly puts the exclamation point on the rejection of the US request to let them dictate our tariffs with other countries.
“I feel strongly that my company will be better off in Quebec than it is in the USA,” said Howell. “And I’m a proud U.S. citizen.”

Howell said Canada appeals to him for two reasons: its duty-free trade agreements with European countries and Japan, which account for the majority of global ski binding sales, and the quality of the Quebec subcontractors he has worked with.

The growing boycott of American products in countries such as Switzerland is another concern. Howell believes manufacturing in Quebec could make it easier for his company to earn customers’ trust.

“I think a lot of people might be holding out too much hope right now in the midterms,” he said. “I can’t bet my business on that.”

Treaty Chiefs across Treaty 6, 7 and 8 territories are calling out Alberta & Canada’s fast-tracked pipeline proposal, made without consent before it gets sent to Ottawa. In a time of climate crisis, water, land, Treaty rights & future generations must be protected. www.facebook.com/share/p/1UDg...
CHIEFS STEERING COMMITTEE
July 3, 2026
Premier Smith and Prime Minister Carney need to understand that bypassing nation-to-nation consent will end in our unwavering opposition.
Read the statement >>>CHIEFS STEERING COMMITTEE
Treaty Chiefs Condemn Alberta and Canada as a Fast-Tracked Pipeline Proposal is announced in their Territories
TREATY 6, 7, 8, TERRITORIES - July 2, 2026 - The Chiefs Steering Committee on Technical Services (CSC), representing First Nations across Treaty 6, 7, and 8 territories, rejects the Government of Alberta's announcement detailing a new oil pipeline. In a time of climate crisis and with promises of Indigenous consultation, the Governments of Canada and Alberta have doubled down on the very actions that will risk the lives of every person on these
Treaty Chiefs object to both the Government of Canada and UP Government of Alberta's accelerated infrastructure plans that have, once again, been created without engagement or consent, willfully ignoring sacred Treaty covenants and our Peoples' inherent right to water and land. It is Treaty Peoples who will live with the consequences of Alberta and Canada's actions, and it is our Peoples who will stand up to it.
"UCP Premier Danielle Smith and Prime Minister Mark Carney continue to pass the pen between themselves to draw lines through our territories without our consent, all while ignoring the health of our ecosystems," says Chief Rupert Meneen, Tallcree Tribal Government and Chair of the CSC. "A pipeline like this can't be fast-tracked in secret and expect First Nations to be willing participants, despite our repeated attempts to work on a water strategy in good faith. What we expect is what the colonial Governments of Canada and Alberta are legally required to demonstrate: Honour of the Crown."
Treaty Chiefs are calling for all citizens across these shared lands to rise with them and stand against this project. There are significant risks to water when moving millions of barrels of bitumen-source waters must be protected and preserved for today and the future. We all need water to live and through projects that continue to extract at all costs, these governments will create a future where …
