Politics (centre to centre-left), art, decency, fairness, climate, and truth. My mom and dad made me a liberal. Living through the convoy in Ottawa made me realize how right they were. New rule: DM me with “Hey!” I’ll block you.

Conservatives need to stop feeding their leopards
Once again, a political base that's been fed a steady diet of outrage, fear, and anti-Ottawa loathing has turned on its master. At some point, you'd think Conservative politicians in Alberta would lea...

Canada’s fifth columnists are showing their hand
Donald Trump is threatening to invade Greenland, and Canada might be next. It's time to look around and figure out who would fight back — and who would surrender.

Rubio is claiming that they did not need Congress permission because it was a law enforcement mission. The US is behaving as a global police state, extending its own arbitrary legal decisions to the whole world. This is not a problem just for Venezuela.

Your reminder that Maplehurst is a provincial correctional facility. This is Ford's responsibility and I can't believe that his government is not being held to account for the atrocious abuses that have taken place there.
thestar.com
This former inmate says he was assaulted by guards. Maplehurst lost the security camera footage that could corroborate his claims
A lawyer described it as a suspicious pattern for the Ontario jail, which was recently criticized for losing footage of abusive mass strip searches.

The Guardian reports that the U.S. plan incl several lines that were certainly drafted in RU before being translated. In EN they sound unnatural and out of place. Example, 3rd point: “Russia is expected not to invade neighbouring countries, and NATO is expected not to expand further.”

The use of the Notwithstanding Clause is out of control. It’s up to voters to stop it
The architects of Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms thought the Notwithstanding Clause would only be used in exceptional circumstances. Conservative premiers seem determined to prove them wrong.
