Justin Ling: Canada needs to make its voice heard around the world. Here’s one clear way to do that.
To create stronger connections internationally, Canada can’t rely on the United States. We need to use our own soft diplomacy tools

Reporter: The president fired the Librarian of Congress. Why?
Leavitt: There were quite concerning things she had done at the Library of Congress in the pursuit of DEI and putting inappropriate books in the library for children.

The rise of end times fascism
The governing ideology of the far right has become a monstrous, supremacist survivalism. Our task is to build a movement strong enough to stop them

Trump has no concept of the nation or of its security. This is not an insult to his intelligence. These are just not cognitive categories for him. He can’t care about national security because it’s not a thing in his world.
Trump has grown frustrated with the negative headlines the Signal security breach has caused, @jonlemire.bsky.social reports. Yet the president and his allies are focused on attacking the media rather than showing concern for the national-security blunder: theatln.tc/2vzda50K
Trump Goes After the Messenger
The president is privately upset with the sloppiness of his advisers. Publicly, he’s focused on attacking the press.
