Today, Liberals, Conservatives, & the Bloc voted to kill #C233. 🚫⚖️

They chose to keep a massive loophole open that exempts 50% of Canada’s arms exports from human rights oversight. The Carney Liberals talk about values, but their actions say otherwise. #cdnpoli #HumanRights

A screengrab of an X post by Jesse Browm which links to a Globe editorial about synagogue shootings where he writes: The Globe moves closer to courage here, making the obvious link between protests & violence. 

But they still won't take their own advice to Carney, to denounce the campaign against Jews "in all its forms."

The form it has taken is antizionism. Name it.

I’m actually glad Jesse is just coming right out and saying he wants to ban free speech criticizing Zionism.

His whole “I’m just an asking questions” schtick was disingenuous to the point of insult.

Reaching net zero by 2050 ‘cheaper for UK than one fossil fuel crisis’ Climate change committee finds move to renewable energy would also bring health, economic and security benefits

Delayers and obstructionists keep saying decarbonisation will be too difficult and expensive

But people who know what they're talking about keep showing that it's the cheapest, simplest and least disruptive option we have

I've never listened to Odd Lots before but I thought this was a useful conversation.

But I found it strange that demand destruction in the form of switching to non-fossil alternatives (particularly for gas) wasn't mentioned

So far:

1. Canada supports the US action to eliminate Iran's nuclear program and uncritically repeats US pretexts for the war.

2. Can't rule out Canada participating to defend Gulf states.

3. Canada could be called upon to defend NATO allies.

4. Canada will never take part in offensive campaign.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

American and European sanctions on Russian oil since 2022 had forced urals to trade at a deep discount to Brent.
Guess what has happened since the American war on Iran and Iran’s trapping of Gulf Oil in Hormuz?
Everyone needs Russian oil suddenly to reduce pain. So urals now priced above Brent!

Finally.

This had to be said, and it took too long, but it’s critically important nonetheless: PM Carney says Canada is not participating in the US & Israeli war on Iran & “will never participate in it.”

Hopefully that’s bc he now gets that it’s manifestly illegal & misguided.

Egalité femmes-hommes : à travers le monde, les boomers plus progressistes que la génération Z Une enquête du King’s College menée dans 29 pays, dont la France, montre que les jeunes hommes sont «les plus susceptibles d’adhérer aux idées traditionnelles».

Devastating reporting. Like RFK Jr., Kristi Noem, and Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth is reshaping his department to indiscriminately kill tons and tons of children.

A major throughline of the Trump administration.

One of the charges against Cuba is always that Castro was too paranoid and the country too militarized. Sure, but there are some conditions that will just make you that way. Like this, for example, every day for decades.
