Just remember, if Canada searched through the social media posts of US politicians and acted like they did, there would be zero US representation of the US at the G7 meetings.

Imagine you own a company and for many decades it turns a modest profit year after year. Then a new CEO comes in and in the space of six years loses $3B all while your competitors are raking in record profits. This is about Canada Post. #canadapoststrike

Why just order lower cost on prescriptions? If all it takes is a executive order, why not lower costs on everything?

Last night NDP voters saved Canada from the surging hard right, but had to sacrifice our own party in the process.
Today the battle begins for a system where we don't have to do that any more.
We badly need a party that can save Canada from the oligarchs who brought us all to the brink.

I've managed crises my entire career: I led the Bank of Canada through the 2008 financial crisis, and the bank of England through Brexit.
I’ve been here before — and I have a plan to see Canada through this.

Just another western colonizer committing genocide…nothing to see here.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday announced the new Morag Corridor and suggested it would cut off the southern city of Rafah, which Israel has ordered evacuated, from the rest of Gaza.

Hey how about we start calling what is happening in Palestine, The Second Holocaust. I think that reframes it into proper context. #Palestine

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.
Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

PSA: Despite still getting nail CANADA POST IS STILL ON STRIKE! There are no negotiations going on and if no agreement is reached by May 22, the picket lines will go back up. If you care about Canadian small businesses ask your candidates what they will do to make a stable Canada Post. #cdnpoli

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Tesla’s shareholders just lost another $38,640,000,000 today — a total $TSLA loss of $600 billion since December.
Tesla’s CEO was not in the office.
In literally any other public company ever, this would be the point where the CEO gets fired.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.
