I see Carney bragging today about the 1.2 Billion to protect the waters in North Vancouver. Remember the 150 billion he announced for the pipeline? Priorities. You can cheer for Carney, but the 1.2 billion doesn't even begin to cover the pollution cleaning bill for the pipeline each year.

I can not imagine how there is still a question of a third try. What kind of person would contemplate such a thing is so far beyond my comprehension as a human being. Monster is the only word I really have in my vocabulary, strange times that I would need more than that word.

More of this. Not taking the PM at his word, but looking at his actions and letting the Canadian people know that the words are not matching the actions. That in fact great harm is being done to our future if we let this continue. We need someone who will lead with their actions to a fairer future.

I, an atheist, can prove I am more of a Christian than the Governor of Tennessee. They tried to kill her twice, failed in what could be seen as divine intervention, yet still want to kill her. I treat the Bible as stories about morality, eg. like Grimms fairy tales. The governor doesn't even do that

Such is my cynical view of the state of the world, that I cannot automatically cheer for this without checking, because I know that leader of the AfD, Alice Weidel, is also openly gay, married to an immigrant, and still wants Christian nationalism and the removal of all immigrants. Strange times.

It's "possible" that Labour could have free ponies for everyone in the manifesto, but if you want to actually rejoin the EU then vote UK Green Party. Deeds not words. If Labour wanted to rejoin then they could do so, TODAY, with their majority, not wait for X number of elections from now.

When kids aren't taught sex ed they learn from porn. "If we learn about sex through porn, we’re learning about the worst of humanity," said Kristen Gilbert, a sex ed teacher. Many students ask her about choking: if they should like it, if their partners expect it, because they see it in porn.

Trump White House misspells “United” on the official “super intelligence” document with AI executives. Instead of “President of the United States,” it reads: “President of the Unites States.” Nothing says “super intelligence” quite like misspelling the name of the country.
Screenshot of a Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump’s verified @realDonaldTrump account displaying a signed document titled “Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities.” The document outlines voluntary AI safety and oversight commitments for companies developing frontier artificial intelligence models. On the right side are signatures and company labels for leaders including Sundar Pichai of Google, Dario Amodei of Anthropic, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, Greg Brockman of OpenAI, Elon Musk of xAI, and Jensen Huang of Nvidia. Near the center-right, Donald J. Trump’s large signature appears above the printed title identifying him as president. The title contains a noticeable typo: instead of “President of the United States,” it reads, “President of the Unites States,” misspelling “United” as “Unites.”

In 2027 Seattle's minimum wage will be $22.14 per hour. That's more than THREE TIMES the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour—a rate that hasn't been raised since 2009. And yet somehow we're not the jobless wasteland orthodox economics would predict. Weird.

Yes, because increasing demand while reducing supply famously lowers prices. At some point, we in the rest of the world, have to give up having sympathy for those in the US, and just accept it is their choice to have a fascist idiot running their country that they refuse to stand up and remove.
