Poilievre losing his seat is almost Shakespearean: Pretender to the throne riles countrymen with anger, gets defeated by guy with Joy in his name. It’s basically Macbeth.
As always I’m grateful to Charlie Angus for speaking honestly & bluntly to Canadians.
We shouldn’t be traveling to the U.S. right now. Our previous relationship as friends & neighbours has shifted, and we are no longer safe.
Germany and the UK have issued warnings, why haven’t we?
The UK has now issued a travel warning for the US: possible arrest or detention for failing to meet entry requirements.
The United States is not safe for foreign nationals. Avoid all travel to the US if not necessary. If you are inside the United States plan a safe and immediate exit. Let others know your location at all times and do not travel without your documentation.
Days after Anonymous put out an international travel warning urging all to avoid travel to the US, several countries including the UK, Denmark, and Germany have put out travel warnings to the United States due to the heightened danger towards foreign nationals by the Trump regime.
My travel warnings to Canadians have been picked up in @newsweek.com.
The arbitrary kidnapping of travellers by ICE is a breach of law. The US is acting like a gangster state putting international travellers at serious risk.

I keep seeing these headlines saying Canadians are upset about tariffs. Idea for reporters and editors: how do you think Canadians might feel about the president casually threatening their continued existence as a sovereign nation on a daily basis?
In general, I don't put a lot of weight on performative ceremonial political etiquette. But it is curious that Pierre Pollievre sent congratulations to Donald Trump on becoming President, but not to Mark Carney on becoming Prime Minister. Surely, such a clumsy misstep must be a greater message.
CANADA IS RECONSIDERING PURCHASING F-35

Signs are good that the ANCHOR program offering an alternative to police response to mental health calls is delivering benefits. The Citizen has a look at it this morning, and I've posted the City's memo to Council to which the article refers here: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/iw5fe....
Portrait of an Inuk woman, photographed in Yellowknife, NWT, in the 1950s. She has tattoos and is looking at the camera.
Henry Busse was a German photographer who built the first photo studio in the Northwest Territories in the 1950s. Prior to his death in a plane crash he took a series of remarkable studio portraits.
Inuk woman believed to be Eva Kukilukak from Kugluktuk, Nunavut.

Jamil Javani a Conservative MP with JD Vance. I think Pierre Poilievre lied to you Canada about not being MAGA.
Aside from everything else about this, "if we just don't CALL it a recession then the economy will be fine" is just another iteration of "if we weren't testing there wouldn't be so many cases"
When Mike Myers wore his "Canada Is Not For Sale" t-shirt on SNL, he mouthed a secret code: "elbows up."
It's a reference to the great Gordie "Mr. Elbows" Howe who punished those that messed with his team.
You heard him Canada: elbows up.
If anyone asks why, tell them that Mike Myers sent you.
Musk is very obviously the un-elected President of the USA.

This is a ticking timebomb in Ontario. Measles vaccination rate must be above ~95% to prevent serious outbreaks. As predicted, the RFK effect is making its way north.
Family includes everyone! ❤️
A guy was so horrified by what Trump did that he bought a full-page ad in the front section of the national Sunday New York Times — which costs somewhere north of USD $100,000 — asking him to resign
congratulations to No Other Land, which may be the first film to win a major Oscar but not theatrical distribution.
Convoy livestreamer Chris Dacey says he has filed a police report over this incident wherein he drove around the city looking for Charlie Angus, followed Angus outside the Russian Embassy with his camera, then got offended after being told to "fuck off"
#OtD 3 Mar 1985 after a year on strike and some of the most bitter class war in UK history the National Union of Mineworkers voted to end the stoppage. A turning point for the working class in Britain, this iconic strike came to define the decade stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1...
If you don't know, Lycurgus was a Spartan who advocated for the role of women primarily as babymakers, and is considered an early eugenicist. Everything bout Musk is yucky, from his beliefs to the way he uses his factory-farmed children to signal policy.
A reflection on Canada and the dark times we are living in.
We are no longer just playing shinny. The stakes are dangerously high.
When Mike Myers gave the "elbows up" sign, we know what to do.

The WaPo fails to understand that there was/is NOTHING Zelensky could do to win Trump's support. Nothing. Because the White House does the will of the Kremlin.
Mainstream media needs to stop sane washing the insane criminal actions of the administration. These are not normal times.
