Investing in *people* & the things people need to thrive is smart use of public funds.

This is the kind of courage that is embarrassingly absent in the ranks of U.S. Republican lawmakers
One can only hope that the brave few who *have* spoken out will soon be joined by others...before it's too late
Because I'm shocked at the pace with which things are getting out of hand in the States
A man, near the White House, who describes himself as a "retired disabled combat veteran," after burning an American flag tells bystanders "I am being detained because I expressed my First Amendment rights."
Millions of Canadians are struggling. Yet the Liberals are demanding sacrifices from workers, while handing out billions to the wealthiest individuals and biggest corporations. New Democrats have a better plan: positive, constructive policies to build a stronger, fairer Canada.

Happy to join in the 70th anniversary celebration of Via Rail and The Canadian passenger rail service at the Vancouver terminal.
Rail builds our country, connects our communities and is just a fabulous way to see and experience our beautiful nation.
NDP wants much more passenger rail in Canada!

So apparently this is fine but Canadian governments using advertising to share views with Americans about trade is completely inappropriate.

Got it.

Rewarding a dictator-aggressor always leads to another war. One that is usually even worse.

Meiselas: This guy's a con artist. He's a fraud. He's quite literally a criminal. A felon. He lies. He destroys people's lives. He's a rug puller. 'Look, $23 trillion! Dividend checks are right around the corner! I'm gonna make you so rich!'

It is demented and it is manipulative and it is abusive.

JD Vance is a traitorous idiot, meaning that he has a high chance of becoming president of the United States
JD Vance on the Russia-Ukraine war:

"Why don't you stop killing each other and start trading with one another?..If we get more peace in the world,it's good for American workers,it's good for the American people,the President's going to keep on pursuing peace.”

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

Mark Kelly: "He's talked about sending troops into more cities, he's talked about invoking the Insurrection Act. You don't have to go too far back to his 1st administration when he went to his Sec Def & said, 'Can't we just shoot these protesters in the legs.' That is an example of an illegal order"

The House & Senate passed the bill to release the Epstein files. I don't know what will happen but we have to take small wins when we get them.

Somehow, it all feels connected: the denigration of professionals doing their job, the fetishization of young women, the older men’s blindness to their own abuse of power.

This is the Canadian Armed Forces.
We/they care about what is really important.
And they are hiring.
They also all got pay raises.
Not happy or being discriminated against in your current job or own Forces?
Maybe have a look.

"As soon as I saw Premier Smith’s announcement, I knew this was... a dangerous precedent for the practice of evidence-based healthcare in Canada. "

In other words politicians: Stay in your lane and DON'T TELL DOCTORS HOW TO TREAT THEIR PATIENTS.

We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.

The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.

Don’t give up the ship.

How upside down is our world? The White House occupant thinks elected public servants who say the military should not follow illegal orders are "punishable by death." We exactly need public servants to speak out against illegal orders and not be cowed by a man who despises our Constitution.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.

We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.
