As someone who has voted NDP in the past & who would consider doing so again with the right leader/platform, they better do Canada & Canadians right on the upcoming budget vote or they can kiss any potential future goodwill goodbye. We are at economic war with the US & they need to act accordingly.

MAGA trash Post Media publish The Toronto Sun and the National Post, their owners are American. Doug Ford gave them a MILLION bucks even when they had a low qualifying score for Doug's Skill & Development Program! 🤬

It’s time to build the major projects that will move us from reliance to resilience, strengthen our economy, and create high-paying careers across the country.

The REM is essential infrastructure — an automated light metro system across Greater Montréal that will connect more and more of the city as it grows. 
 
Great cities have great public transit, and that’s what we’re investing to build more of across Canada in Budget 2025.

This is reassuring to hear her perspective on how her experience working in Cana
da compares to the US. While our health system is not perfect, healthcare in Canada is a right for all Canadians and not a privilege just for the wealthy. We must protect it at all costs.

You might remember the B.C. white nationalist conference I covered a few months back, Exiles of the Golden Age.

Well, @antihate.ca just identified 18 attendees -- and CBC got two more.

Naturally, these dudes have been crashing out.

So I gathered some favourites for your viewing pleasure:

If the NDP puts themselves and their purity tests first, and votes against the budget. I will campaign extra hard for the Liberals and do everything I can to bury the NDP.

Mark Carney's Liberals are exactly what Canada needs at this time.

(And I'm a former NDP member).

That was the right move. And they showed others how to do it. They publicly rejected a huge company that locked a man out because he criticized a crime against humanity.

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative.

The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.

Wow. First, this is very interesting sanctions implementation. Secondly, really illustrates weaponized interdependence, but also how the overuse of those powers will erode US soft and corporate power and influence.
