Iran has officially pulled out of the World Cup, stating that conditions in the US are not safe for players or fans.
More countries must follow suit.
The US will only respond to public pressure and financial retaliation.
Boycott the World Cup.
Boycott the Olympics.
Boycott America.
i have to be honest, i am surprised at how well canada compares to france and germany in this, i figured weβd be a lot worse
βbetter than the usβ once again a bad metric for canada to judge itself against
Screenshot of a cropped section of a webpage. The text in the first box reads "Current ballots. You are registered to vote in the following ballots: Already voted - 2026 NDP Leadership Election." The text in the second box reads "Voting receipts. You have voted in the following ballots: View Receipt - 2026 NDP Leadership Election."
I may have been a bit too eager in voting as soon as I can: really doubt my ballot order is going to change all that much from where it is now, though.
If you're an NDPer, you've got until 5 pm Saskatchewan (7 pm ET) on March 28th to vote.
'if he gets too bad congress will restrain him, which is why we'll vote in a pliant congress for him.'
Is 4:20:00 too long to expect people to sit through the premiere of a video at a theatre
to me it rocks that this company that has never come within light-years of making money and has a bad product with zero practical use cases is the pivot point of the global economy because a bunch of embarrassing Burning Man dorks just decided it should be
This is what has worried me the most from the beginning. And if the US insists on having role in choosing or approving the next leader, that by definition is not a democratic transition and puts the US in the position of potentially acting as security forces inside Iran on behalf of their new client
Must be so sad to be Ukrainian and witness the USA burn through more missile interceptors in the first five days of the illegal war it started against Iran than it contributed to Ukraine's defence in the past 4 years.
This is the advice I have given since the outset. Stop listening to what he says, watch what he does. The two rarely match.
Mark Carney's reaction to the US attack on Iran, and his subsequent defences of that attack, made you wonder: for all his talk of pragmatism and principles, what does he stand for? And what does he think Canada wants him to stand for? www.thestar.com/politics/fed...
Genuinely, i maintain that if we get ahead on a lot of this we can actually pull off the energy super power shtick
If Carney is so worried about human rights, why is he making deals with India, China, and Qatar?
Trump is violating his very own Constitution in his current actions against Iran.
Canada was a peace keeping nation. Now weβre trying to egg on a third world war.

The goal *is* the wasteland-ification of much of MENA so that Israel and the Emirates can rule over rubble.
Those who live in glass concentration camps shouldnβt throw stones.
Israel and US: destabilizes the Middle East
Canada: why would Iran do this?
We got duped, folks.
We heard what we wanted to hear, not what he actually intended. That may have been his intent.
Itβs okay to admit it.
Trumpβs attack on Iran violates UN rules Canada has agreed to uphold. It contradicts numerous values PM Carney claimed he supported in Davos. Endorsing illegality, violence, & destruction over dialogue and peaceful resolution is not what Canadians were promised, or support.
To everyone who cheerleaded Carney's faux speech in Davos & posturing as independent middle power -
His atrocious statement today backing US-Israeli attacks on Iran make clear that he & Canada are firmly aligned with dominant imperial interests.
And he did so while shaking hands with Modi in India
Several points:
1) Iran's regime is odious. Its citizens deserve support.
2) That does not mean an attack will help.
3) Canada will find it hard to be so selective in its support for international law.
4) Canada does not benefit from a US administration unbound by the US constitution.
Yikes, super disappointed Carney, this is pretty much the opposite of what I want to see.
When he eventually gets bored and starts attacking our sovereignty again are you going to roll over like this too?
Fuck everything about this.
40 years of βIran will have nuclear grade material next monthβ¦.β
And then it was all supposedly βobliteratedβ last year.
Iran is a hideous regime - it must be overthrown- but not by an unstable deviant serial child rapist.
Nothing good will come of this.
This is war as a grift tactic.
βIn light of this apparent failure to grasp the basic requirements of the ambassadorial mission and the honour of representing oneβs countryβ¦β
Next time Pete Hoekstra starts mouthing off, maybe Canada should answer him in French.
Anyone want to hear what Randy Weekes has to say?

Oh man, if only Canada had an AI minister whose entire job is dealing with AI and thinking about AI and who could do something about AI companies disregarding the safety of Canadians and potentially hindering investigations of crimes on Canadian soil. Alas.
Our π¨π¦ grandkids will be ashamed if we let Cuba starve under siege by Trump and the US.
Students of history proudly know how Canada supported early communist China thru famine and international acceptance, despite US disapproval.
Trump will pull the pin now or later. Better we keep our integrity.
Being anti-imperialist is more important than whether you are communist or anarchist.
And to everyone looking to weaponize a tragedy, to use an act of violence that has taken and ruined lives to attack a group of people, stop it right now.
Immediately choose love - look for every chance you can to support your community, your vulnerable neighbours, your family and friends.
