Carney carefully weaves in his shock doctrine narrative, telling us why we have to do this NOW so “we can continue to live our lives as we choose.” The implication being: no oil pipeline, no sovereignty. Which is an unhinged thing to say, actually!

Carney said his government “was elected to change things, to build Canada Strong, and we’re doing just that.” I definitely don’t remember him campaigning on a new oil pipeline!! “Investors should know that when Canadians want something built, Canada will get it built.” And when we don’t?

I hope this misspeak doesn’t distract anyone from the facts: 1) Carney is meeting oil and gas lobbyists WAY more than Trudeau did (from 2023-25) 2) the natural resources minister is meeting oil and gas lobbyists WAY more than his predecessor (and turning down meetings with environmentalists)

Very cool that Shopify’s CEO thinks the poor should have far less of a vote than the rich. Still worth that ad read money, folks?

Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke says “good system.” In response to the following proposal:

“Interesting... what about weighted voting proportional to the level of income tax you pay? (no income tax paid - O vote, $1-100k - 1 vote, $100-200k 2 votes and so on... cap it at 5 votes for $500k+. For those that constantly complain about the wealthy not paying tax/fair share they'd have nothing to worry about right? Why not reward representation of taxation and build a democracy around those that foot the bill?”

This MF is responsible for more deaths than there are trans people in the United States. He's putting up Hitler numbers. So maybe he should shut up before spouting lies like this.

"The obvious reality is that giving rage-inducing hormones to mentally unstable people will cause a major increase in murder.
Statistically, trans and trans-driven (eg Charlie Kirk's killer) homicide rates are more than triple that of the general population."

This is so devastating, honestly. I don’t understand how so many people can march for a state that is actively committing a genocide. Are Palestinian lives really worth so little to this many Canadians? If so, I’m ashamed to call myself Canadian today.

Introducing the latest addition to our family! Little Charlie Kirk Jansen.
He's the 23rd grandchild in the
bunch but he is our 7th little American.
Holding this little guy in my arms reminds me what all of this is really about. Family. Future. Home. The people we love.
Charlie is part of our American family, just one more reason I never want to give up on the friendship between Canada and the United States.
We're going through stormy times right now. Politics gets loud. Tempers flare. Governments change. But our countries have been good neighbours for generations, no matter who was in the Oval Office.
You don't throw away a lifelong relationship because things get difficult. You work through it. Because divorce is hard on everyone, especially the kids and grandkids who inherit the fallout.
The Canada we grew up with believed in strong families, strong communities, and strong friendships with our neighbours.
That's still worth fighting for.
And looking at Charlie... I think it's worth fighting even harder.

Oh, this is good. Idaho passed a bill banning local cities from flying the Pride flag. So the cities decided to wrap the poles themselves in pride colors. This is amazing.

A screenshot of a Facebook post by CBS 2 Boise. The post text reads: "A new state law required the City of Boise to take down the Pride flag outside City Hall. Tuesday morning, the City wrapped flag poles in Pride colors and added a new sign to the window on City Hall. CBS2 reached out to the Mayor and Governor’s office for comment."
Below the text is a collage of three photos showing these updates:
Left: A tall metallic flagpole in a plaza at night, with its lower section wrapped in horizontal stripes matching the colors of the Progress Pride flag (black, brown, light blue, pink, white, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple).
Top Right: A closer view of a flagpole base, also wrapped in horizontal Progress Pride flag colors.
Bottom Right: A large window on City Hall featuring a graphic with diagonal stripes in the Progress Pride colors alongside the text, "Creating a city for everyone."

Avi's father just passed, days after Avi won NDP leadership. In his speech, Avi said his dad had told him, of his dreams of a better world, "not in my lifetime, maybe in yours." Incredible Stephen Lewis lived just long enough to see Avi take that first step in refusing to say that to his own kid:

How will Avi Lewis pay for his big ideas? Taxing billionaires and corporations. “Banks made $70 billion in profits last year…Grocery baron Galen Weston alone is worth $20 billion,” Avi says. “The money is there my friends. We need a government with the courage to go and get it for all of us.”

Poilievre quote tweets JK Rowling saying « what she said » after JK writes: « Today's ruling by the IOC means a welcome return to fair sport for women and girls, but I'll never forget the scandal of Paris 2024, when people who consider themselves supremely virtuous and progressive publicly cheered on men punching women. »

Rogan mentions cannabis being legal in Canada. Poilievre replies, “been legal for 10 years, yeah.” Rogan applauds Canada for voting to legalize marijuana. He says it's about "personal freedom." Poilievre agrees it’s about personal choice. (Poilievre voted against cannabis legalization lol)
