Today is Canada's Day of Truth and Reconciliation. It is not a day to celebrate. It is a day to listen. A day to recognize the costs of colonialism and capitalism.

The anger and emotion displayed by some Republicans when they're wrong is worse than that they turn out to be wrong so often. Please, check your facts. #EricSchmitt

It's fascinating to watch Eric Schmitt embarrass himself by confusing the names of sports teams... and insisting that the defendant perjured himself (not to mention "dirtbag"). Yet Schmitt was wrong. I'm surprised he didn't stamp his foot and start crying. This is what Trump has done to Republicans.

So we all seem to agree that Trump broke laws in making his propaganda PSA about how great he is. We also agree that it won't help. But no-one dares to stop him, so this waste will continue. apnews.com/article/trum...

Taxpayers have funded nearly $1.5M in pro-Trump ads. Criticism is mounting, including from the GOP

AdImpact says three taxpayer-funded ads promoting President Donald Trump are nearing a cost of at least $1.5 million.

Trump says the US is leading in AI. Are we sure? 2022: two of the top three institutions where AI researchers work were in the US. 2025: two of the top three institutions were in China. The other was in S. Korea. Priorities. And choices. carnegieendowment.org/features/who...

Interesting. Trump closing the Kennedy Center sounds very reminiscent of the recent closing of Ontario's Science Centre. Is Trump taking lessons from Canadian politicians to get what he wants?

My only comment is that a whole generation of *Canadian* kids is learning to never take crap from a bully. Too many American kids are learning to loudly hate the bully... while quietly enjoying the benefits of standing behind the bully.

Americans like to think of their country as exceptional. The best economy, the most freedom, the place where anyone can make it if they work hard enough. It’s a powerful story, repeated so often it feels like the truth. But when you look at the data comparing the United States to Canada, a different picture emerges. On measure after measure of what makes a good society, Canada comes out ahead.

If this were to be promised in a global south country, it would be considered vote buying and would result in international rebuke.

Legitimate Policy: Universal cash transfers, subventions, or monthly pensions are legal because they are codified into permanent law. They are distributed based on universal criteria (like age or income level) and continue no matter who wins the election.

Vote Buying: When a candidate says, "You will only get this $5,000 if my party wins," it ceases to be a public policy. It becomes a conditional, partisan transaction designed to bypass institutional checks and balances.

Amazing how far America has fallen... and continues to plummet. I guess it worked for Musky last year, so Trump figured he'd try it on a more national scale. #Capitalism

Fun fact: one of the reasons bars in some places were closed until after the polls closed on Election Day was to stop politicians from having people buy votes with drinks.

This level of pathological lying and justification is one thing from Trump himself. It's quite another from his supporters. That Cruz can say this... insist on it... with a straight face tells us exactly what kind of person he is.
