Instead of reading certain hyperbolic propagandists who pump out TikTok videos for money (“Carney's push to bulldoze nature”!!🤦‍♀️) I suggest seeking out more fact-based breakdowns of #BillC-39. Eg, Osler put out a plain reading, divorced from breathless hyperbole: www.osler.com/en/insights/...

I find it extremely harrowing that the non-ideological (supposedly) Trump is fully aligning with the Uber-ideological tech elite whose aspirations, no matter how bizarre, absolutely transcend economic profit-seeking goals.

So did I. I miss some people I followed, but found lots of funny, smart and nice people here. I know one voice doesn't matter, but it's the principle. I refuse to support, even in such a small way, a human being like Musk.

Fascists don't debate, they don't dialogue. They only want power, control and dominance. I've always felt the best deterrent was to prevent them from getting a foot in the door in the first place. So many esteemed writers/political scientists were screaming the warnings. Unfortunately...

Trump's Iran War is so successful that US forces have been forced out of eighteen US military installations in the region. It's one of the most humiliating set backs US forces have ever suffered in any word. But the Hegseth Pentagon responds with nonchalant silence, and in the UK seems eager to go.

From Iran to the U.K., Trump Is Being Forced Into Retreat
A war that was intended to demonstrate the reach of American power has now done the opposite. It is a lesson in unintended consequences.

Keep on raising awareness about fascism. It needs to be made clear that fascism is not just another political party, this isn't about partisanship, choosing left or right. Fascism is another beast entirely. It is anti-human. Violence is at its ideological core. It is the opposite of a civil society.

This is absolutely false. Talks broke off. Ottawa is hunkering down until the office changes hands. I’m sure there’s still the odd call to maintain contact. Carney was clear. No talks until the US is serious. They are not serious.

Canada is a NATO ally and one of America’s biggest trading partners. Iran is an adversary we’re fighting a war against. Talking about both as countries that simply need to submit to U.S. demands says a lot about how Trump now approaches even our closest allies.

Anytime he has any pushback at all the other party is "hard to deal with." What the hell does he think negotiation IS? I have literally never seen this guy negotiate anything in the entire decade he's been shoved in my face.
