In Norway, Prime Minister Mark Carney reaffirmed that Canada will maintain its sanctions against Russia and its ghost fleet of oil tankers, despite the U.S. decision to lift its own sanctions for 30 days. "This is not the time to take the pressure off Russia."
🚩 🚩 When a government decides it does not want to be held to account for its actions, pay attention!!! 🚩 🚩

I am begging my fellow Canadians to take a break for a second from obsessing about American corruption to focus on our home grown versions.
Ford is a corrupt crony goon who has done countless shady backroom deals. He wants to remove one of our most powerful tools to hold him accountable. Fuck that!

Heartbreaking for these athletes who have trained so long & hard to compete.

"One cannot understand the Iran War without understanding the Kahanists. But I rarely see analysts mention them. Maybe they did, and it was behind a paywall. If a war crime is subscription-only, does it make a sound? Is that sound a stifled scream?"

Chart showing the cumulative education funding gap since 2018. Despite the rising cost of everything since 2020, the education funding gap is over $6 Billion. Local trustees do not have the power to protect a system from that level of underfunding.
#OntEd school boards have been taken over and are still in debt.
It's not a "spending problem".
It's a funding problem.
Local school trustees do not have the power to protect a system from that level of underfunding.
A good backgrounder on the role of school trustees. Nothing is perfect, but they play a key role in local democracy, accountability and helping parents navigate the system.
“What they do and what happens without them?”

It seems to me that Ukraine already has their hands pretty tied given they are taking on the entire country of Russia, which attacked them. This doesn’t make any sense.

Quote from Sir Winston Churchill in 1930. Let us learn our lessons. Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The Statesman who yields to war fever must realise that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events. Antiquated War Offices, weak, incompetent or arrogant Commanders, untrustworthy allies, hostile neutrals, malignant Fortune, ugly surprises, awful miscal-culations-all take their seats at the Council Board on the morrow of a declaration of war. Always remember, however sure you are that you can easily win, that there would not be a war if the other man did not think he also had a chance.
I love quotes from Sir Winston Churchill. This one is very relevant this week.
It’s from 1930 and was just passed on through LinkedIn.

Sometimes, speaking truth to power means picking your time and place carefully.
German Chancellor Merz said later he had told Trump very clearly that he could not conclude a separate trade agreement with Germany or all of Europe but not with Spain.

Hey Danny, just picked up this article in LinkedIn. I have no way to confirm if it’s real or not. Along the lines of shifting away from the US dollar.

War for the Epstein files
Kingston City Hall
In these uncertain times, it is important to remember who we are as Canadians, & what we cherish. For me, I hold dear the right to be an individual whilst belonging to a society that collectively strives to be just, fair, & inclusive. We are far from perfect, but we are good.🇨🇦
The Epstein Files are so bad that the men in the Epstein Files convinced the man in the Epstein Files with Nuclear Codes to start a war with Iran to distract the world from the Epstein Files.
