PM Carney takes a jab at PoiLIEvre: “You know, one of the advantages of having your security clearance is you’re better informed about some of the threats [facing Canada], and I highly recommend that anyone either in a position of responsibility—or seeking it—has their security clearance.”

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

Despite the fact that everything Trump does is designed to enrich himself and the billionaire cronies who paid hundreds of millions to get him elected, his greatest trick was convincing working class rural Christian white people that he’s one of them and on their side. bsky.app/profile/ronf...

Why we’re blowing a generational moment for Canadian culture

We’re checking the origins of our groceries, but where’s the love for the sector that truly defines who we are?

What if, when we read a book and bump up against something that makes us uncomfortable (angry, confused, upset, offended, etc) instead of demanding the author only write what is acceptable to us, we hold that discomfort with compassion and use curiosity to see what it can teach us about ourselves?

DHS and ICE are going to dig up everything they can on Johnny Noviello to absolve themselves of any responsibility for his death. Don't fall for it. A Canadian is dead because of the inhumane conditions that ICE detainees are subjected to.

Mark Carney needs to raise hell over this. We all should.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

I was briefed on the intelligence last week.

Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.
