It is with the heaviest heart that I say goodbye to PM Justin Trudeau. He has made us strong, informed and ready for what is coming. No one has given more for Canada. Loved it more dearly. And fought for it more bravely. Farewell to Canada’s most loyal son. A true Canadian hero. My hero.

Yikes 😬 an official U.S. government account just referred to Americans as “imbecilic morons.” That’s… a choice.

"Indigenous artifacts from Vatican returning to Canada as gift from Pope Leo."
I'm not sure if returning that which was stolen should be considered a "gift," but at least wrongs are being righted.

Anyone else find that it’s a happy bit of irony that the most compassionate and socially responsible nations on the planet were the same ones that showed up in dragon ships, burned your village, stole your gold and stabbed you in the face 1000 years ago?

On November 14, 2025, in Evanston, Illinois, disturbing video footage emerged showing Border Patrol Goons attempting to flee the scene of an accident. In their escape, they resorted to pepper-spraying witnesses, instilling fear and intimidation in the community that resides just outside Chicago.

In August, a judge ruled that Luigi Mangione could have a laptop to view evidence while in jail. He still hasn’t gotten one.
Maybe he should ask Ghislaine Maxwell if he can borrow hers. She's had no trouble getting one. And she’s convicted of her crime, not just accused.
