It’s hard to believe a president would time an illegal military attack to distract the public’s attention, but today is the statutory deadline for DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production. Maybe it is just a coincidence.

One of America’s biggest for-profit hospital operators is bankrupt, broken, and responsible for countless mistreated patients—thanks to its private equity overlords.
Wall Street gutted Steward Health Care. Patients paid the price.

It’s about resources.
Oil. Minerals. Fresh water.
And ultimately about the control of all our resources into the hands of a few.
Today it’s Venezuela.
In the viewfinder is Greenland and my home, Canada.
Trump says we need to go after drug cartels.

Meanwhile, he disbanded a DOJ task force that took them on.

And he pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking.

Trump doesn't care about drugs — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy.

It's a power grab.

Like a bad movie but it’s real life ! So much for 2026 being better than 2025!
Honestly, is anyone else feeling like we’re watching a never ending version of American Horror Story?
Just when you think that things couldn’t get any crazier…
Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

So for months they have tried to blame the entire fentanyl crisis on Venezuela and the indictment only mentions cocaine, which they pardoned a different guy for weeks ago

U.S. Southern Command chief General Laura Richardson just said the truth out loud:
The U.S. focus in Latin America isn’t “democracy” — it’s controlling oil, lithium, gold, and rare earth minerals. Venezuela, with the largest oil reserves and key strategic resources, is the main target. #cdnpoli

It’s a frosty morning out here on Georgian Bay. It’s also the first wedding of the 2026 ceremony season. E&N hiked The Stawamus Chief where he proposed on the first peak. Their journey begins today. #TheWeddingOfficiant #BestJobEver #LoveWins

What does this mean for Canada?
Thoughts:
1. The United States is in a full blow constitutional crisis, and that is not even the headline news.
2. How does Congress react to a president waging war without its consent?
3a. What does this mean for Greenland?

In 2026 there will be more mass media articles and commentators ridiculing people taking precautions to avoid SARS-CoV-2 infection while simultaneously hundreds of pieces of research will be published further demonstrating the long-term harms of infection.

Ignore the ridicule.

@theresisters.bsky.social had a chance to sit down with @geoffypjohnston.bsky.social to talk about this important issue.

Misogyny metastasizes in the ‘manosphere’

Amazing how legacy media panics over a leftist mayor, compared to how chill they were about an actual fascist becoming president. Really clarifies their priorities.
He's not even sworn in and fucking Politico is counting him out. With journalists like Politico's and the New York Times', who needs enemies?

Scenes from my kitchen on the first day of the 2026 new year. We’re still hunkered down in a nasty winter blast. Found a tub of a Rose sauce with spinach buried in the freezer. Penne was on the menu, sided w/Caprese salad, fresh mozzarella and EVOO & dark Balsamic. #christineskitchen #cookingathome

Imagine that.
Since 2022, NYC has received more than 200k asylum-seekers from the southern border; many were kids.

How has this increase in migrant kids influenced domestic kids?

Turns out, not much.

"Domestic students did not experience adverse impacts on enrollment, test scores, attendance, or absenteeism."

NYE scenes from my kitchen. We’re under an extreme weather event out here on Georgian Bay so our original plans got scrubbed.
Plan B: Cooked up Parmesan Risotto & topped w/leftover shellfish.
Happy New Year!
