Up to the U.S. to decide if it violated international law with Caribbean boat strikes, says Anand

Where are we at?
Our collection team is gathering petitions from across Alberta. More will arrive tomorrow.
Some of our amazing #ForeverCanadian volunteers are still collecting last minute signatures.
For many, this is more than canvassing. It’s a movement. It’s a community.

Trump's approval rating is still nearly 40%. Think about how fucking ignorant and/or stupid 4 out of every 10 Americans must be.
Trump: "I think it has -- I think it's very bad. They're pumping, it looks like they're pumping into a horse. You have a little child, a little fragile child, and you get a vat of 80 different vaccines, I guess. 80 different blends. And they pump it in. So ideally, a woman won't take Tylenol."

A troubling development in Canadian political "journalism." Good on @lukelebrun.ca for delving into this.
I did a deep-dive into Ben Mulroney's extracurricular activities:
At the same time as Mulroney is filling-in as host of The West Block, he is also working for two registered lobby groups and as an adviser to several companies – some of whose CEOs he's interviewed on Global News 640 Toronto radio

Ben Mulroney is blurring the lines between journalism, business, lobbying and partisan politics
The new host of Global News’ national political news show also works for registered lobby groups, advises businesses and hosted election events for Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives earlier this year
