No matter what happens in the 2026 midterms -- or even the 2028 presidential election -- Canadians will never trust the United States the way it used to. The north remembers. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/09/29/o...

Memo to our friends (and yes, our enemies) to the south: the problem isn’t just Donald Trump. It’s you

Trump White House misspells “United” on the official “super intelligence” document with AI executives. Instead of “President of the United States,” it reads: “President of the Unites States.” Nothing says “super intelligence” quite like misspelling the name of the country.

Screenshot of a Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump’s verified @realDonaldTrump account displaying a signed document titled “Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities.” The document outlines voluntary AI safety and oversight commitments for companies developing frontier artificial intelligence models. On the right side are signatures and company labels for leaders including Sundar Pichai of Google, Dario Amodei of Anthropic, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, Greg Brockman of OpenAI, Elon Musk of xAI, and Jensen Huang of Nvidia. Near the center-right, Donald J. Trump’s large signature appears above the printed title identifying him as president. The title contains a noticeable typo: instead of “President of the United States,” it reads, “President of the Unites States,” misspelling “United” as “Unites.”

🇨🇦 CBC highlights a striking double standard: Washington is extending trade ties with China while criticizing Canada for doing the same on a much smaller scale. U.S. imports from China: $434B. Canada: $90B. The rhetoric says one thing. The trade numbers say another.

It's getting harder to spend time in even nice, progressive, non-political online spaces that are mostly American. So many folks are (I hope unwittingly) echoing the crap Tr*mp has been saying to justify tariffs & annexation threats against Canada (e.g., wildfire smoke, "the border is so arbitrary")

I've only worked on a couple of grant proposals that I know incorporated a lot of AI-drafted text (both for repeat clients whose earlier projects were their own work).

An analysis by the Canadian Climate Institute suggests there is little sign any of that work by the federal government has actually reduced the risks Canadians face.

The federal government says Canadians are more aware of the climate crisis but groups say more needs to be done.

The wealthiest man in human history—who clearly performed several Nazi salutes on Inauguration Day 2025—is directly responsible for the deaths of up to 14 million people, including 4.5 million children, by 2030. He's not "quirky" or "weird" or "awkward". He's a fucking monster.
