In a recent article about the United States' strained relationships with other countries, Time Magazine included a made-up quote from Canadian satire site The Beaverton — seemingly as fact.

Trump pardons a narcotics kingpin, but he blows up fishing boats in the Caribbean.
WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

It is truly disgusting how trump keeps disrespecting women journalists in those press briefings, and not ONE other journalist calls him out.
They should all walk out when he tells a reporter "Quiet, Piggy," or shouts "YOU'RE STUPID" at another.
Where are your fucking SPINES?

Ms Hebert is giving a masterclass in the political impacts of PM Carney’s pipeline decision.
I say pipeline, but it’s really the decimation of @liberalca.bsky.social 10 yr Climate Plan.
A decision which will reverberate throughout Que, BC, youth & women.
A gift for NDP. Chef’s kiss, PM.

Danielle Smith tried to sell her federal-Alberta energy deal to the UCP convention crowd: tepid applause.
She told them that this proved Canada can work well for Alberta’s interests: loud boos.
This ain’t a base that wants Smith to work with a Liberal PM on a better industrial carbon tax.
