The notion blabbed on Power and Politics that floor-crossing is undemocratic is complete bullshit. I get it, you’ve taken a brand hit-but spare us the lies. The hard reality is that political parties do not exist in the Canadian Constitution-MPs do.

She would be a calming, fair and level headed person for that position. The extra vote would be a bonus.

When you add up the floor crossings from the CPC and now the NDP we are witnessing the formation of a coalition government in all but name. The coalition is forming to confront the threat from the US and it's President. #cdnpoli

Tees Maar Khan: Biography of Trump as the most dangerous fool in the world He is not a villain. He does not scheme. He simply acts, with total conviction, on a reality he invented. And the world keeps handing him a bigger sword, even when all he knows is how to squish flies.

Trump is Tees Maar Khan the most dangerous of fools. β€œA delusional braggart masquerading as a warrior.”

I'll shut up about AI the day an AI system demonstrates one original idea. Because right now all it seems capable of doing is deluding a lot of people into thinking that *synthesizing information (and disinformation) readily available on the Internet* and replicating patterns = real research.

β€’ Translated from Arabic by Grok
I heard the statements of U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, in which he calls on the Gulf Cooperation Council countries to enter this war, saying that we are also under attack and that we must join the fight.
And I say to him clearly: We know full well why we are under attack, and we also know who dragged the entire region into this dangerous escalation without consulting those he calls his "allies" in the region.
We thank God that the United Arab Emirates and the Gulf Cooperation Council countries are doing well, and we have no need for someone who claims he came to the Middle East to save us. The truth is that hasty American decisions are what embroiled the region in a war whose peoples were not party to its decision-making, and its local allies were not consulted before it was launched.
We do not deny the Iranian threat to the region, which has become clear in recent days. We do not trust Iran. But this is a dirty game in which several powers clash at the expense of our region, with no honor in it and no transparency. In this scene, Iran, Israel, and the United States all move according to their own interests, not according to the interests of the peoples of the Middle Eastern Arab countries.
And for this reason, we say it clearly: We will not enter this war to serve the interests of others, nor will we sacrifice our sons in a conflict that could have been avoided through diplomacy and political solutions. We value the lives of our sons, and we do not treat their souls as "collateral damage" as some do. Nothing in this world is more precious than the lives of our sons, and no alliance with any country in the world is worth risking these lives. If President Donald Trump and Senator Graham are prepared to risk their country and the lives of Americans for Israel's interests, that is their choice. As for us, we will not do the same.

UAE billionaire Khalaf Al Habtoor wrote an interesting post on X criticizing Lindsey Graham and Trump.

β€œWe...know who dragged the entire region into this dangerous escalation without consulting those he calls his β€˜allies’ in the region.”

Hours later, it was deleted.
