Seems to me that declaring a PHEIC occurred surprisingly quickly this time. Now, if we could get precautionary principle regarding mode of transmission, that would be good for a change.

My god. In an interview with Vassy Kapelos, Danielle Smith said that because TC Energy built a pipeline in 18 months in the 1950s we should be able to do the same today. Does she think companies and the crown respected Indigenous rights then? How will Indigenous communities react to her comments?

@mark-carney.bsky.social Silence from Western leaders as Israel continues to destroy lives in Gaza and Lebanon. Still they trade with genocidal Israel despite their murderous Nazi behaviour. I’m embarrassed by Canada’s vague “concern”.

Two days ago, Dr. Bonnie Henry falsely claimed that proper precautions were followed, and that the air crew involved in transporting this infected person was at no risk of developing hantavirus. Henry's reassurances are troubling and do not correspond to the latest hantavirus transmission science.

🚨 18 DAYS OF SILENCE 🚨 3M Albertans had private data exposed. The group behind it is under investigation, but its leader—Danielle Smith’s close ally & wedding guest—refuses to cooperate. Why is the UCP looking the other way? #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli youtu.be/qNgrHbfPECU?...
An political infographic poster titled 'ALBERTA VOTER DATA BREACH' in bold black text, with a subheader reading '3 MILLION EXPOSED' in large red text. The poster is divided into sections by clean horizontal lines. The first section shows a black calendar icon next to the text '18 DAYS SINCE 3 MILLION ALBERTANS LEARNED THEIR PRIVATE DATA WAS EXPOSED'. The second section shows another calendar icon next to the text '18 DAYS OF SILENCE AND INACTION FROM PREMIER DANIELLE SMITH'. The third section shows a black silhouette icon of two figures shaking hands under the heading 'THE COZY CONNECTION', with text explaining that David Parker is a close ally who helped elect the Premier, hosted her at his wedding, and whose group is accused of a massive data breach while refusing to cooperate with Elections Alberta. The bottom of the poster features a large call to action in bold red text that says 'CALL A PUBLIC INQUIRY', next to a line drawing of a hand placing a ballot with a question mark into a secure box with a padlock icon.

America is an enemy of democracy, and undeniably an enemy to Canada. We should be on full war footing to separate ourselves, not the mindless incrementalism Carney has adopted in the hopes that Trump is an ephemeral bump in the road. This is generational destruction, and we're not ready for it.

Canada has, in the span of a year, nearly doubled its defence spending to hit 2%/GDP; stood up a project to build America's much-needed icebreakers; and is (finally) creating its own defence industrial base. So, naturally, the U.S. is suspending a shared defence panel that's been around since 1940.
Tweet from under secretary of war Elbridge Colby:

"A strong Canada that prioritizes hard power over rhetoric benefits us all.  Unfortunately, Canada has failed to make credible progress on its defense commitments. DoW is pausing the Permanent Joint Board on Defense to reassess how this forum benefits shared North American defense. 1/3"
