To me it looks like Trump is deeply, deeply compromised -
-and something happened after the Macron & Starmer visits that has him panicking.
That was not a relaxed and confident man.

I stand with the people fighting to help Ukraine.
I oppose the Trump/Putin gangster regimes.
Canada has a malignant threat on our border while the front line in Ukraine is being hammered.
This is an all hands on deck moment for our nation and the world.

Another superb post from our Canadian Hero, Charlie Angus!
Here is my latest reflection.
The attack on President Zelenskyy shattered the last of our wishful thinking.
Many countries hoped that if they fawned over him, he would pick on someone else.
Now we know: that we either stand up or get dragged into the abyss.

Some US physicians, mostly women, are seriously considering moving to Canada to practice there. They want to escape the political and anti-science movements in the US, and appreciate Canada's strong abortion rights, strict gun laws, and funded healthcare that puts people above profits.

Why this is ultimately unsurprising is because our understanding of journalism, its function, its role, is distorted.
Journalism cannot speak truth to power when it is part of the structure of that power. This is not something journalism likes to admit. But it is often the case.
It's about power.

6/ Teach critical thinking wherever you can. The real antidote to indoctrination isn’t censorship—it’s learning how to analyze, question, and debate. Encourage curiosity, fact-check claims, and equip people with tools to think for themselves. #ThinkForYourself
