Thanks to @mlehmann.ca for reposting this article on the photography of Lucia Moholy. Just how much wonderful work have we been deprived of because of racism, war or misogyny?

Every Bully in History Has Found Out

In an era of great power rivalry, Canada is choosing to be principled and pragmatic. To name reality, to act together, and to build what we claim to believe in.

In an era of great power rivalry, Canada is choosing to be principled and pragmatic. To name reality, to act together, and to build what we claim to believe in.
"The powerful have their power. But we have something too — the capacity to stop pretending, to name reality, to build our strength at home, and to act together. That is Canada’s path."
It's so refreshing to hear a political leader speak like a clear-eyed adult with a conscience.

This is the flag of Greenland. A tremendous flag. Really beautiful. Some people are saying the most beautiful flag anywhere in the world. Incredible design. Strong, simple, very smart. No reason to change it. Nobody does flags better than this. We should absolutely keep it. Believe me.

Alberta's separatists don't have to win a referendum to break up the country. It's time for Danielle Smith to realize just how big a mess she's made by encouraging their efforts — and other prominent Conservatives to help clean it up. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/01/08/o...
Danielle Smith's separatism games are coming at a dangerous moment
Alberta's premier loves to talk about standing up for her province. Will she ever show the same enthusiasm when it comes to Canada?

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Trump's regime has murdered people in the water. He has seized ships on the high seas. He has invaded a country and kidnapped their leader.
All bets are off with the United States.
Canada needs to build alliances with Europe and to be ready on the home front.
