It's worth restating.
The richest man on earth is destroying programs to support the poorest.

Why?

The cruelty is the point.
What a godless bastard.

Thank you Mr. Munsch.

I heard my sister read the Boy in the Drawer to my daughter this summer at the cottage. A life memory as it was my favourite story too as a kid.

Blue Jays probability to win the division drops to 76%. Would have risen to 91% with a win.

I so enjoy @aljazeera.com or @france24.com or DW reports on Canada. It gives us such an insight on how we are appearing to those elsewhere.

The rise in interest in Canadian immigration politics is significant.

I'm glad that Senators are giving at least some pushback to #RFK on the Health front. Finally, some resistance to this insanity!

Sad they were not similarly concerned and defensive about #USAID.

#Musk was equally a quack when it comes to thinking about international development as RFK & science

The bipartisan Restore Trust in Congress Act is a necessary step to ban Members of Congress and their families from engaging in insider trading.

It is time to pass this bill and make it clear to the American people that their elected officials put them first.

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

So fascinating - the policy, the numbers, the demographics.

"Immigration accounted for all of the population growth in the quarter because there were 5,628 more deaths than births in Canada."

Canadians who are anti-immigration need to re-read that line.

Sometimes the sheer idiocy of this moment overwhelms me. The idea that our convicted felon POTUS who incited an attack on DC police then pardoned the attackers & who's the most corrupt official in US history is going on an "anti-crime" ride-along in a city w/falling crime rate is...(brain explodes)
