The Proud Boys is a listed terrorist entity in Canada.

"Canada is taking the world as it is, not passively waiting for a world we wish to be."

NO. You build the world you want to see actively through applying values to situations and leading.

Passivity is leaving the door open to being dragged into this conflict.

And, again, THE U.S. IS NOT OUR ALLY.

For the record, as I understand it, there is ZERO evidence Iran has the capacity to weaponize enriched uranium.

So even if they stockpile it, they have no way to pack it into a weapon and launch it — and that’s a VERY difficult bit of knowledge to obtain.

Not exactly an immediate nuclear threat!!!

City of Ottawa to buy downtown hotel for $45 million A report for the finance and corporate services committee recommends council approve the deal to purchase the eight-storey former long-term stay hotel at 377 O’Connor Street at Gladstone Avenue for $4...

It is great news that the city is buying the hotel at Gladstone + O’Connor to use as transitional housing for families — many of whom are currently holed up in awful motel rooms. These suites have full kitchens and the building is close to schools, the Y and transit.

BREAKING: We're filing a lawsuit challenging Ohio's new law that seeks to purge voters from the rolls based on outdated citizenship data.

This law sets up eligible voters — especially recently naturalized citizens — to be wrongly stripped from the voter rolls on the day before the election.

It should not take a court order to get a toddler out of a prison.

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

I caught few Canada Research Chairs named (some as associated with projects vs direct emails) in the Epstein database.

I hope questions get asked as to their involvement—this is a research ethics and professional ethics issue, good faith questions are necessary.

NEWS - Jesse Ventura Suggests Minnesota Join Canada Over Trump Feud

Report: Craziest politician in America makes excellent suggestion

Yesterday on the way home from a long city council meeting, I saw that my bus wasn’t going to come for 40(!) min, so I walked. Not everyone has that option.

I believe that you deserve compensation for being left out in the cold. And we need every option on the table to get OC Transpo moving again.

Okay. That's pretty damn funny.

If you work at DHS and know the identities of the CBP officers that murdered Alex Pretti, my Signal contact info is in my bio. I’ll keep you anonymous.

Believe Your Eyes People are risking their lives to document agents in Minneapolis.

Minneapolis residents are risking their lives so that the world can see what is actually happening to their city, Charlie Warzel reports.

Video contradicts Trump administration account of Minneapolis killing Once again, DHS appears to be lying.

A new video contradicts the Trump administration's account of the Minneapolis shooting

It's weird to see Americans apologizing more right now than Canadians normally do. Wild times, I tell ya.

For anyone who missed this we have a real problem in Canada with American owned media like Postmedia that are sympathetic to Trump and big oil.

They often also own your local news.

Consider following independent media by email since a lot of social media is Trump-connected too.
