This is a dangerous and irresponsible response.
Cheering the illegal abduction of a foreign head of state and celebrating U.S. control over another country is wrong.
Canada cannot pick & choose when international law applies. If the rules only matter when it’s convenient, they don’t protect anyone

What if we convince the elite to greenlight universal basic income by pointing out that we'll burn everything they have to the ground and salt it so nothing so evil grows n its place? 🤔

Germany gave people €1,200/month no strings attached.
They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others.

Opinion: Canada’s democracy had a decent day. But it can do better to reflect all Canadians in this moment of crisis
In a democracy – and especially in a crisis – citizens need to feel represented. With our election delivering a deeply divided result, let’s ask: should we elect for proportional representation?

Can Canada really afford the promised tax cuts?
As each federal party looks to cut taxes for Canadians, it’s exposed a push-and-pull with bringing down the deficit. Read more.

Excellent example of top-notch play on @old-seattle-pod.bsky.social episode 19. As a player, know when to ask the GM for some sign posts or just a list of potential next steps. It cuts out that wasted time where you faff around. A good example for all of us😊 #vaesen #ttrpg
