The President of the United States is openly threatening to commit genocide against 90 million people. Prime Minister Carney: if there was ever a moment to denounce this illegal war, withdraw your support, and call for accountability for war crimes—it’s now.

Screenshot of a post from Donald Trump: A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

I would love for Rustad to sue over this and see what the courts would interpret incapacitation as. I would think it usually would refer to medical or functional incapacitation, and not really a loss of confidence. Would be fun!

the CBC was founded as a bulwark against US cultural imperialism, to ensure we had canadian news and canadian culture. there should be a renewed emphasis on that mandate, particularly to stop reporting so much on what happens in the US for eyeballs and ad dollars.

Here’s the bottom line for what’s going on with Grok - if the owner of the website is putting his thumb on the scale hard enough for the chatbot to turn into Goebbels, you should be deeply concerned about what he’s doing to the algorithm that you can’t so easily see, and what it’s doing to you

Always loved the people who are like, "But my ancestors came here the legal way!" and by that they mean they arrived via ratship to an island, a man asked them their name, they were like, "Uh, Jeff... Smith?" another guy said "sure?" and then they became permanent residents of the United States.

I understand your logic, but I think it is really misguided. It feels very much like a betrayal to the people who actually voted for you. Your vote on this is the same as what Colleen Hardwick's vote would have been. I know you did it because it was going to pass anyway, but symbolism matters.

I think BC 2017 still takes the cake since this riding doesn't actually make a difference to whom has overall plurality or a majority! LPC is getting close but this one riding isn't actually going to break it unless somehow there's more last-minute flips.

No he doesn’t. He can’t sit in parliament without a seat but he can still lead the party. If he does stay on likely they’ll ask an MP in a safe riding to step down so he can run there in a by election.

It almost feels unfair how much more fundamentally likeable Carney is than Poilievre. The mother in me almost wants to give him some sort of head start in the debate. Like maybe Poilievre gets to wear a fun novelty sweatshirt.

Alberta, which is a smart movie because it's not like he doesn't already have enough support there. More Alberta votes will help him for sure.

They don’t have to pass any laws to ban it. Just adjust the way Health Canada provides funding to provinces by adding in some new difficult regulations for abortion care. They’ll do it and it’ll be insidious.

You only hear ‘ulterior’ when it comes to motives. If you read ‘lo’ you’re probably about to ‘behold’ something. ‘Echelon’ seems to only be at one level: the upper one. If you’re confronted by ‘asunder,’ odds are it’s been ‘torn.’

But then you also said it was good to be thoughtful so we don’t waffle like Ford in Ontario…?

000

bajoran militia officer @internetashley.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

There's a number of ways it could work, through duties or export taxes or other kinds of taxes or even tariffs. I see no reason to believe that Eby isn't exploring these. Given Ford has already walked back his surcharge I appreciate taking a thoughtful approach where we aren't waffling like that.

000

bajoran militia officer @internetashley.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

Because it's not a tariff - that's what I already said and a few others have said too. It's a *surcharge* that the seller of the product, placed on the product. It just so happens the government is the seller of that specific product. If the government isn't the seller they can't place a surcharge.

000

bajoran militia officer @internetashley.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

It’s a delicate balance because we don’t actually want to stop selling things to the US - that is bad for our economy. We have to be mindful to try and respond appropriately while doing as little damage to our own people as possible. Any tariffs we add costs *us* money. That’s how they work.

000

bajoran militia officer @internetashley.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

We have some Canadian tariffs so far which mean that when we buy American products (the ones subject to a tariff) it will cost an extra 25% to us. Importers pay this cost and generally pass it along to consumers through a price increase.

010

bajoran militia officer @internetashley.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

What he did was add a 25% surcharge on the price because the government sets that price as they own the hydro company. We can’t set a surcharge like that on lumber because the province doesn’t set the price, individual companies do.

000

bajoran militia officer @internetashley.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

Tariffs are for imports, not exports. It sounds like maybe what you want is an export tax on lumber to further increase the cost for Americans to purchase our lumber? Even though the Trump tariffs are already increasing the cost for Americans to purchase it?

Figure skating world championships were considered to be for men only until 1902, when Madge Syers showed up and took home silver and the ISU went "whooooops guess we need to segregate them." It happened again in 1992 Olympic skeet shooting: Zhang Shan took gold and then they segregated the event.

Figure skater Madge Syers, doing a one-foot glide

Zhang Shan, Olympic gold medalist in skeet shooting, pictured wearing goggles and with several, uh, shotgun casings? in the air in front of her. Look, I know figure skating words for the most part but not skeet shooting ones.

I could have picked one of the pictures of her with her gun but the ones without Getty copyright on them were all potato-quality, and also I probably would have used the wrong gun word there too.
