Stephen Harper has, as we've long awaited, weighed in against Alberta separatism. But man oh man, do I have to strongly quibble with him claiming sentiment was zero when he was PM. Here's a 2014 poll putting belief in separation at 23%, which is where it sits now. nationalpost.com/opinion/step...

BREAKING NEWS: 77% of Canadians still intend to avoid American products, new Abacus Data polling shows. 19 months in, this hasn't blown over. Washington can negotiate with Ottawa, but it can't negotiate away what Canadians choose to put in their shopping carts. 🇨🇦

Since the 'ceasefire' in Gaza, 1400+ Palestinians have been killed. 0 Israelis have been killed. The 'ceasefire' is not a Ceasefire but simply a protection for Israel, while Israel are allowed to go on killing.

Zionists accusing me of hating Jewish people when I said “Benjamin Netanyahu knew about 10/7 and did nothing to stop it” is wild. I don’t hate Jewish people…Benjamin Netanyahu does. He let people be murdered. Be angry at HIM, not me.

This is the most heartbreaking stories I’ve heard in a long time. ICE detained 2-year-old Orlin Hernandez Reyes’ mother. She begged to be reunited with him before deportation. ICE refused. What happened next is horrific. No matter how you feel about immigration, normal people don’t like cruelty.

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

What's infuriating about this kind of story (along with the danger people, especially children are being put in by unscrupulous dealers) is that people who feel that only cars and trucks should be allowed on the road will use it as ammunition for their anti-bike screeds. www.cbc.ca/news/marketp...

I think basically admitting that there is no hope for the US, refusing to even consider civil disobedience, and then saying Canadians are smug and just as bad as Americans is reason enough for blocking. I can only take so much of the ignorance/arrogance mix.

At press time, Trump was ranting about how Canadians “act like they’re totally innocent” but are “very bad” and are being “taught a little lesson,” like the pedophile-coded villain in a straight-to-VHS movie from 1996 🤣 we don’t apologize to fucking narcissistic dipshits #NotSorry #FAFO

Opinion: We must call Alberta separation what it is

It is not a movement of grievance politics. Something far more sinister is at work

On National Poetry Day, here’s a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.

The Power of Poetry

with things falling apart
and anarchy let loose,

it was only poetry, he found,
which had any use,

so he reached for his copy
of The Complete Works of Yeats

and bludgeoned the President
of the United States

I would love to know the breakdown among US voters on their reaction to the Senator Schmitt screw-up. Do they: 1. Accept a right wing media interpretation/minimization. 2. Are vaguely aware something happened, but aren't paying much attention. 3. Are aware and concerned 4. Completely unaware.
