Setting up for today’s Terry Fox run to raise funds for cancer awareness and research. The legacy of Terry Fox honours and promotes deep Canadian values - courage in the face of adversity, awe and respect for the vast wilderness, humility, and service to the community. Run, Terry, Run. #TerryFox

The corrupt intervention of the sitting US President in a routine football decision has backfired. American players were humiliated and demoralized, while the Belgians were emboldened. The results: Belgium won 4-1. USA lost. More importantly, football itself was tainted by the filthy hands of greed.

If serving Americans actualize this threat tonight, no civilizations are going to die. Civilizations do not die. What might well be severely injured, however, is America’s reputation as a civilized nation, a regime of liberty and justice, guided by the rule of law + stewardship of the free world.

It’s time for a cauterization: a coordinated temporary secession of American states committed to democracy, justice + the rule of law. These could form a “union of American States.” This would also be a great opportunity to reinvent governance in an egalitarian era of networked societies.

This is the Trump equivalent of “you can’t sack me, I quit”. What a pathetic, insecure, petty narcissist. He needs to be surrounded by manipulators + yes men who satisfy his empty self. Shame on the enablers who keep this inadequate + dangerous man in office. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Should the USA invade Greenland, Canada must immediately stand with the Greenlandic people + Denmark. The invasion would be an existential threat to Canada. We + our European allies should demand an immediate unqualified withdrawal, followed by a program of BDS + noncooperation if nothing happens.

The illegality of the invasion of Venezuela is clear. But what exactly are we dealing with? What happens next if Venezuelans just say no? How far is it imperialism, a shakedown, or an improvised distraction? Is it a military invasion or harassment by foreign thugs? Is it tragedy or farce?
