Does anyone know of someone tracking the mentions of Canadians or Canadian companies in the Epstein files? #CanPoli #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

With so many of the Epstein files now released, who in Canada is scrutinizing it to see which Canadians were involved in any of the crimes or cover-ups? Because given our proximity, I struggle to imagine it is nobody. #CdnPoli #EpsteinFiles

I wish our media would start doing this but, unfortunately, here in Canada most of our media is owned by US companies. So fat chance of that. substack.com/@premthakker...

What if we wrote about events in Trump’s America the way that Western media describe African and Middle Eastern countries?
Here’s what that would look like:

I know everyone is all in on "made in Canada" maxing but the reality is if we're desperate for countries not named America to buy our stuff, it's good if we reciprocate the favour as a stable partner of choice for those who still value a rules based trading system!
Canada sees rapid increase in imports that historically would go to U.S., says analyst
Canada is becoming far more attractive in commodity goods for the rest of the world, as it diversifies its trade away from the U.S., says one analyst.

What exactly does anyone need from the US that absolutely can’t be had from any other country or group of countries? What would happen if we ALL cut the US out of our trade, and only traded with every other country in the world?

Dear @mark-carney.bsky.social , other world leaders, and @un.org : when do you all plan on gathering some backbone and moral clarity, and call out the USA for now being a rogue state and a state sponsor of terrorism? Or are we just going to pretend this and what happened in Venezuela is normal?

If the USA is the Nazi-Germany of today, Canada is France. Stop the bloody appeasement! @mark-carney.bsky.social Get some moral clarity and condemn the kidnapping of Maduro, the bombing in Nigeria, and the threats against Greenland, just for starters! Do you want to be de Gaulle or Pètain?
TAPPER: “So you won’t take it off the table that 🇺🇸 won’t use military force to seize Greenland?”
STEPHEN MILLER: *laughs*, says nobody would fight us for it — despite European nations saying it would end NATO (which Putin would love)
Bottom line: The guardrails are gone

How a general strike could work if we werent divided:
1. Those who can strike, do. (Ex. All unions)
2. Those who can protest hit the streets and stay there using rotating shifts. (Ex. Retired, jobless, strikers, after work, etc.)
3. Those who must work, provide mutual aid to strikers and protestors.

Oh my girl, 🥺 we're all hoping the next car you go in to have some peace and quiet will be the one to drive you home. MELIA is tired of the noisy shelter. All she needs is an adult only home, a cozy bed, peaceful walks, and someone to love her. She can live with cats. No dogs. Come on

Made samp and beans for dinner last night, but it ended up too gooye-gluey, so today I made chakalaka soup and dumped the samp and beans into the soup and, dear readers, I think we have a winner. I will accept my inaugural Umngqusho Peace Prize next week. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
