It’s like a Rick & Morty episode where a spaceship crash landed on a planet and all the survivors had to build their civilization around were some male supplement ads that survived on the ship’s computer.

This is the Republican playbook Convince your constituents that everyone lies, so it’s okay to lie Convince your constituents that every politician is corrupt, so it’s okay to be corrupt Convince your constituents that the government will never help them, so it’s okay when the government sucks

It should alarm us that the civilian head of the military gathers together troops to give them a political speech in which he calls the free press treasonous. He should be removed from office for doing so.

The US-owned National Post is urging Canadian Jews to take matters into their own hands to punish Avi Lewis for speaking up against the genocide in Gaza. They reference the Bible to bury alive and consume by fire. This is extremist hate. It needs to get called out. nationalpost.com/opinion/yoni...

Setting aside the fact that most of these people did not, in fact, break the law, what does this suggest about how the next administration should handle the members of this one, nearly all of whom have broken many laws?

Am I wrong in thinking the Gas Stations have increased their prices again ahead of the “gas tax holiday?” My impression is this just ends up being another gift to the O&G industry but I’d be happy to be corrected.

It’s nuts. If not for the Trump aberration and the nonsensical energy demands from AI (which I’m sure O&G is behind) we would have effectively been done with it as a fuel source. The planet won’t survive much longer with O&G buying politicians and setting public policy.

I’d say the entitlement of the Oil & Gas sector plays a significant role in the seperatist movement. I don’t think we do ourselves any favours by reinforcing the idea that O&G is mom’s favourite, or that we survive only by its good graces.

And I think they're wrong. The focus, their focus, should be on a) the economy, and b) working people. Trying to offer a barely diluted version of the UCP's energy and economic policies gives their voters no reason to switch and non-UCP voters no reason to consider an alternative.

The way Schmitt and Co. held up the image and then took it down right away without reading it or explaining what it was - what a farce. He might as well have held up a cereal box. He’s like a three year old pretending to pay for something in a store without understanding what money is.

Update: environmental groups say yeah, this announcement isn’t sufficient to mitigate the harms of the powers the government is giving itself with respect to endangered species (like the whales!). Soooooo a nice move in general, but insufficient in context. Which means Carney is indeed full of it.

it would be cool if U.S. journalism could clearly inform readers that the trump administration dismantled what was left of our already shaky regulators and replaced them with perfomative vibes
"It's almost like a constitution, in a way," Mr. Trump said while flanked by SpaceX's Elon Musk, Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, Anthropic's Dario Amodei, Nvidia's Jensen Huang, OpenAI's Greg Brockman, Google's Sundar Pichai and a throng of other tech executives."It's not clear exactly how the accord will work. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg told reporters the AI firms agreed to "multiple layers of auditing and controls," including internal evaluations and external audits. The findings of auditors would be independently reviewed by each company's board of directors, Zuckerberg added.
