Sustainability, dignity, ESG, strategic thinking. Primary focus - artisanal mining. All elements of the polycrisis are interrelated.
Action, reaction. Trolling, strategic response. Canada didn’t look for this pivot, but Trump’s behaviour has led to this pivot.

History echoes in different ways.
Terribly uncanny how relevant this is to today.

Canada did not want to distance ourselves from the States, but reasonable targeted actions in response to Trump’s aggression were inevitable.

Minnesota, Venezuela and Iran are three very different places, obvious to everyone who is not a fascist.

Release the Epstein files.
And there it is. All your fault, Minnesota, that there will be no midterm elections....

It's no mystery. Trump's trying to break Blue states.

What do Greenland, Honduras, Venezuela, and Nigeria have in common? The “network state” cabal—which includes Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, & Joe Lonsdale—has been circling them like vultures. 1/

That's a bit pathetic. When is he going to be Acting Supreme Leader of Iran? Has he no ambition?

I watched The View today. Lots of topics, but no mention of Epstein files. Release them. Ignore distractions.

Did anyone who voted for Trump:

1. Vote for him to go after Jay Powell, weakening the economy and the dollar?
2. Did anyone vote for him to go after Greenland, scorching NATO?
3. How about Venezuela, was that on mood boards?

Didn’t think so. Progressives and centrists need to coordinate.

A pig’s gotta be a pig, but that doesn’t mean that everyone else needs to oink.
America really does have a five‑alarm fire in the White House: a president who openly says the only authority that can stop him is “my own morality. My own mind,” while standing on a record of criminal convictions, financial scams, and armed resource grabs abroad

Release the Epstein files.

Great summary on how America first ends up meaning America alone. Rachel Maddow is always brilliant, in this case taking us through Canada’s response to Donroe and the implications that result from the response.

This is well worth the 20 min listen.

I have been to the States hundreds of times. As a Canadian, I have loved what the States has stood for until 2025. I am not going to go to the States unless and until the country comes back to the rule of law. What is happening now is not normal or right. People need to stand up and say no.
“ICE are people with weeks of training given serious weapons and set loose on streets of the United States. They’re Trump’s private army. Average people need to stand up and say NO! Do not travel to America. Do not buy American. This is serious now!” 🇨🇦

Sir lies-a-lot is at it again.
After viewing the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota- he then proceeds to lie about EVERYTHING in it, aside from the fact that it is, indeed, "a horrible thing to watch."

As a Canadian, I know there are millions of decent Americans & that there is indecent maga. I don’t know if centrists & progressives- decent Americans - can stop Trump. Sanity will prevail if decent people collaborate. History will judge. I don’t know if Trump will be stopped. I have lost trust.

Good point. Release the Epstein files.
Amid the tumult caused by one invasion with several more threatened, Trump is hoping Americans will forget about the Epstein files, which should be called the Trump Files since he is going to such great lengths to keep them hidden.

Don't let Trump distract us. Demand that the files be released!

Angus: "We see this attack as setting the stage for an attack where Trump could go anywhere. The same language he’s used against Venezuela, he’s used against Canada—& he sees that we have immense resources. Difference is, good luck thinking that you are going to break the Canadian people."
