Disturbingly, MP Iqra Khalid was reportedly verbally assaulted and physically shoved by officials who claimed they could touch her "as much as I want". This occurred despite the delegation having pre-approved visas and official parliamentary passports.

Already has been. Amazing to think that legit concerns about human rights in host countries like Brazil, Russia and Qatar are dwarfed by the U.S.

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

Canada/Ontario should segregate its schools: vaccinated and unvaccinated.
Canada has just lost measles elimination status. The U.S. will undoubtedly follow shortly.

Elimination means that there is no continuous spreading of measles within the country for a year or longer.

Canada and the U.S. have blown it, and it’s largely the fault of the anti-vaccination movement.
Canada loses measles elimination status after three decades, health agency says
Canada has lost its measles elimination status after nearly three decades due to its failure to curb a year-long outbreak, the country's public health agency said on Monday.

“The time of…Benjamin Netanyahu coming to this city and then making military decisions from this city to kill civilians…has to come to an end.”

I asked @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social if he still plans to arrest Netanyahu if he comes to New York.

At the very least, this is the kind of proposal that should be on an election platform and let the voters decide. It's too significant and drastic to unwind.
I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service.

Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.
The government is reducing service standards and Canada Post’s biggest advantage: its nationwide network.

This plan is about cutting back the postal service instead of investing to give it new revenue tools through things like postal banking. It’s shameful.

I have no idea what white people are talking about right now. The warnings that the fascists will "use this" to do more violence. WHAT WON'T THEY USE? You've watched them deploy the US military on US soil using bullshit pretexts. What even are you talking about?

So the conservative host on NewsNation, Leland Vittert, lost it when I brought up January 6th and Trump's failure to prevent violent crimes that day, and his refusal to send in the National Guard that day.

He cut me off and then ended the interview!

Hilarious. Trump has easily committed two dozen impeachable offenses before this.
Democratic congressman says Trump’s moving forward without Congress is an impeachable offense:
This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

Sigh. I hope Minister Guilbeaut and/or his successor amends the regs to rectify the distribution of funding in a more fair manner. And fast. Whether or not other sites have been similarly excluded doesn't change the fact that Indigenous voices are constantly marginalized. It's beyond tiresome.
