Pierre Poilievre is anti-worker. From cutting billions from public health care to raising the retirement age, it's clear he doesn’t care about you or me. share.canadianlabour.ca/s/M43uBMkd

This is where we are headed. If you don’t believe me, ask what basis the government had to send me and my family to a prison camp in Arkansas. We “looked like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.”

There's a lot of talk about Canada Geese and whether they're good and my answer is Yes.

A comic called "how to draw goose neck". In panel 1 the goose's neck is very short and is labeled "no". In panel 3 the goose's neck is the right size and is labeled "yes". In panel 3 the goose's neck is longer and is labeled "no". In panel 4 the goose's neck is extremely long and terrifyingly snakelike and it's labeled "yessss".

A comic called The Canada Goose: A Role Model For Our Time. In panel 1, the goose is labeled "assertive" and is hissing furiously. In panel 2 it's "brave" and is standing up to a fearsome swan. In panel 3 it's "good parent" and is standing up to a dog while protecting its goslings. In panel 3 it's "team player" and is flying in a beautiful V. In panel 5 there's a close up of its head and it's labeled "crisp, modern aesthetic". In panel 6 it's eating grass and pooping and labeled "high fiber diet".

One of Norway's largest fuel companies just announced that they will no longer refuel US Navy vessels after Trump’s treatment of Zelenskyy.

“It made us sick... We encourage all Norwegians and Europeans to follow our example.”

The nuclear weapons industry, including @Boeing, Leonardo, @LockheedMartin and others, are risky business -both because they're taking long-term government contracts to build nuclear weapons- and because of their shady business practices. app.sosha.ai/s/i0B5pF9V
