Every truly Canadian news outlet needs to lead with a clear, no-bullshit headline:
“Trump Threatens to Ruin and then Annex Canada”.
Will the US-owned Postmedia papers do it? No. Can we hope the rest speak clearly?

The Canadian public and especially political class should understand the US President is explicitly declaring economic war on Canada with the goal of ruining & then annexing it. This is not merely a tariff war and the political class shouldn’t treat it as merely that: Deal with the intent to annex.

Many national nutrition agencies are finally freeing themselves from the meat industry’s grip and, based on mounting scientific evidence, encouraging plant-based proteins. So why is the Economist pushing more meat on India to solve the health crisis? Completely daft.

This fully persuades me that FMO can be retrospective and, oooof! does it ever ratchet up FMO to whole new levels:

Putting a whole new spin on ethnic cleansing, Israeli Finance Minister Smotrich has (on Facebook) backed a plan for the “voluntary migration” of Palestinians away from Gaza. (The ethnic cleansing plan had been floated in the WSJ by two Knesset members.)

These were the billboards plastered around town when I was visiting Winnipeg this summer. I knew it was an electoral ploy by the governing Tories, but it was still disheartened—I didn’t think this type of base politics had much purchase in my beloved Manitoba. Turns out I was right—it didn’t work! ❤️
