Did Poilievre just say that Putin has a monopoly on Europe’s energy???

The end of indepedent, critical thoughts being expressed in public in the U.S.? The public interest is now what Donald Trump says it is.

A bit disturbing that the AI has fascist aesthetics, as observed by @costanzamusu.bsky.social.

CAN DO IT!

Having fun with AI-generated posters for Canada’s GIGA response to the MAGA threat (and the other big bullies out there!)

This is going to be a challenge for Poilievre in the coming election. Is he going to argue that only he can keep country united, by preventing conservatives from supporting annexation? “Vote for me because 1/3
of my supporters would vote yes to the 51st state”. (angusreid.org/trump-carney...)

That’s how you support freedom of speech and scientific research! Well done Mr. President!

Time for Canadian governments to change tack on limiting immigration. We should welcome these high-quality students and researchers from the US and abroad who are no longer able to speak and use their minds.

As seen at the CPAC conference! Anyone who thinks that the current madness will be over in 4 years is living in la-la land!

Should we already start planning for this end game?

With the Law on his side, Trump also wants to save Canada. Lucky us! Manifest Destiny!

Now I remember where I saw Melania Trump before!

Someone doesn’t understand how surveys work! In today’s newsletter, The Hub says 8M Canadians “claim to have watched” Pierre Poilievre’s interview with Jordan Peterson. The # is derived from a Xeet by David Colletto (Abacus Data). But survey results only apply to adults. So the correct # s/b 6,8M.
