Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

For those keeping track, Canada now has *two* journalists with purported links to foreign intelligence agencies

This is a health and safety issue - from excess chemicals to infectious produce - we need warnings that produce may be from 🇺🇸 where they have gutted regulations and inspections. Vulnerable Canadians - elderly or disabled - order online with NO labeling. Like this below: #HealthCanada #Canada
Lettuce online - no labeling of country of origin. Is it diarrhea lettuce? Who knows. That could kill a frail elderly person. Raspberries from where? Your guess is as good as mine.

If you hear of the use of this app - or an app like it - by anyone, report it to the National Observer & Rachel. This is by far one of the greatest threats to democracy. If it's being used at the municipal level, bet that someone at Prov. & Fed. levels has *at least* contemplated its use. #CDNpoli

For >3 decades, disinformation has been promoted against the science of climate change. The disinformation has a perfect record - not once, was any of it found to be true. Every new climate denier post can be safely assumed to be the same. Climate DENIAL is a lost cause.

Amazing & important thread. The separatists don’t have to win to “win” a permanent foothold for their movement that can always be exploited in the future - with marginalized Albertans as collateral damage. After the vote, then what? The fight for our home is just beginning. #abpoli

While Canadians are having debates about what our relationship with the US should be in terms of economic and military cooperation, the US is deciding for us and it is UGLY.
America’s allies are now reeling again. Many had spent months securing access to Mythos for government departments, banks and companies. Those permissions evaporated overnight. The cut-off exempts no one, not even America’s partners in the Five Eyes intelligence alliance: Australia, Britain, Canada and New Zealand. Those countries are already grappling with the lapse of key surveillance powers that Congress recently failed to renew. Losing access to Mythos puts them in the same boat as Russia, China or Iran. Britain’s AI Security Institute, the world’s leading body for testing and jailbreaking new models, has also been locked out.
