Canada's National Observer @nationalobserver.com · 20/01/2026
After months of trying to play nice with Donald Trump and MAGA world, Mark Carney decided to drop the hammer of truth on his rogue administration, @maxfawcett.bsky.social writes. What comes next will help determine Canada's place in the world — and whether it even has one.

Mark Carney just shook up the world
His speech in Davos might be the most important one ever delivered by a Canadian prime minister. Its consequences will determine his place in history — and ours.

Israel has rapidly accelerated its destruction of Rafah in April and May. It's hard to understand the magnitude of this, even when spending time analyzing recent satellite imagery. From me, Samuel Granados, Aaron Boxerman, and @rileymellen.bsky.social Gift link: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

These journalists want me to read their books on the health struggles of Joe Biden while they pointedly ignore the ongoing mental deterioration of Donald Trump because they only fear the latter's retribution.

I met with the PM’s Canada-US Council today, here are some thoughts: -🇨🇦 leaders & our government are (almost) all on the same page: Country First -Their willingness to share intel, feedback & their networks is deeply comforting -We have a strong plan & the right priorities

So Rick Bell, a longtime stooge to the CPC and Reform, and guy who says anti canadian stuff? Published an article saying that Danielle Smith isn't a traitor. might mean more coming from someone who wasn't one.

It’s fascinating listening to POTUS explain to Lawrence ODonnell not just what he did, but WHY he did it…to serve the American people.

It's so great that the National Post is gung-ho for a return to sexual violence, misogyny, racism and the abuse of power at the top ranks in the Canadian Forces.
Canadian Forces need to recruit warriors, not DEI hires: retired major

I will never understand how a billionaire, the richest man on Earth, spent millions to buy an election for ANOTHER billionaire, and told us that his policies would cause all of us non-billionaires “temporary hardship...” ...and the public didn't tell BOTH OF THEM to fuck off.

This cannot be stated enough. Many provinces have been taking federal health care transfers and not spending all of it on health care (and spending much of it on provincial tax cuts), then blaming the federal government for underfunding. t.co/OYmDEJDyVC

I get why the panic around RFK Jr's appointment is focusing a lot on vaccines. But I'm not sure we've full wrapped our heads around how much damage he could do to trans folks and people living with HIV/AIDS. There are *a lot* of medications he could target. www.them.us/story/rfk-jr...

Anti-immigration weirdos have never become more complex than this comic.
Two-panel comic. First panel is a chode in a suit saying, "Stop immigration so we can take care of our own."

Second panel is a child speaking to the chode in a suit. The child says, "I'm starving." The chode in the suit replies, "Fuck off."

So the entire DOGE department is just two people who think it's a good idea to fire everyone and let things sort themselves out. The government employees who voted for Trump (and those who didn't) should be soiling themselves.
