With Canada in and Britain rejoining the EU, the Euro would be a true equal to the US greenback as the world reserve currency. Especially with the natural resource riches of Canada in its sphere. Contemplate American fiscal and monetary implications to that scenario, and the effect on their power.
Today, I said a sad goodbye to a faithful and loving member of the family after 13 1/2 years of companionship and love. Mylo gave me many gifts but the greatest gift was unconditional love. He will no longer travel beside me in body but he will forever inhabit my mind and heart. Goodbye buddy!

@stephenmarche.bsky.social, Is the Charlie Kirk murder possibly the match that lights off the fuse of the Civil War powder keg that is MAGA in the USA? The initial social media responses seem to show the bloodlust of retribution from the right reaching a fever pitch.

@acoyne.bsky.social I read your opinion piece in the Globe on the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. I am currently enrolled in the Immigration Consultant University Program and have an economics background. I agree that the program has flaws and needs fixing. The solution is not to end it.

@mark-carney.bsky.social, some good advice here about caving on the DST, to appease President Trump
Well, the US was not really thinking of sending more anti air weapons to Ukraine, it was planning on stopping what little was on its way. The US is cutting Ukraine off during this vital moment. Once again, flattering Trump is not the right strategy. A free piece. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Is it me or does it seem like McDonalds is making a big deal with the Trump administration of hiring what suspiciously seems like a completely normal practice of hiring summer students during their summer break. Is this what corporate servitude looks like? How many students were hired last summer?
cnbc.com CNBC @cnbc.com · May 12
McDonald’s on Monday announced plans to hire up to 375,000 workers this summer at a news conference that included U.S. Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer. cnb.cx/3S1aEao

It’s called the Digital Equity Act. That word—“equity”—caught the White House’s attention. So now Trump is moving to nix funding—but it could cut off millions destined for red America.

@alegalnerd.bsky.social, It is not only in the United States where the courts face populist challenges from right wing politicians to the rule of law. In Canada we built the mechanism to over rule the Supreme Court right into the charter of rights. No federal government has used it, yet!!

The rest of the world needs to wake up to two facts and act accordingly.
1: Donald Trump wants the US to have a zero trade deficit, lowering tariffs to 0 means squat for other countries.
2: The United States is no longer a reliable or trustworthy partner to trade with or rely on to defend you.

@smsaideman.bsky.social What do you make of Malcolm Nance’s assertion regarding Trump’s press conference today?
WARNING: This “#Canada” talk is an UNAMBIGUOUS Intelligence indicator that they fully intend to invade and annex that country & Greenland.
No one discusses shit like this in Public unless it’s been completely discussed/gamed out in private.
This is political preparation of the battlefield.
Trump on Canada: "I spoke to Governor Trudeau ... they don't have military protection, and you take a look at what's going on out there ... people are in danger ... they need our protection."

@pkrugman.bsky.social Hello Professor, since it is almost 40 years since I graduated from Economics. I wanted to make sure that I was getting my economic facts correct in responding to Ms. Catherine Rampell about a steel tariffs article from your old school. economics.princeton.edu/wp-content/u...

Still think we should be dealing at all with lunatic? I am speaking as a Canadian with US birthright. I may be over 60 but I would without hesitation answer the call to stand a watch under your command to defend my land from this.
Trump on what Trudeau could offer him to change his mind on tariffs: "What I'd like to see -- Canada become our 51st state."

Happy New Year Bluesky family. My New Year’s wish is the coming year finally brings a just peace to a troubled world and sanity to political leadership.

@acoyne.bsky.social I read your article in the Globe tonight and listened to you speak on At Issue on CBC. You are so bang on. Canada needs to speak strongly and with one voice. The Premiers and opposition needs to get behind the government on a unified approach. Trump just declared war on us.

If anyone wonders what Trump 2.0 means for the future of Canada-US relations, I highly recommend listening to this conversation @davidfrum.bsky.social, a well respected voice of American conservatism, had on the Hub video on you tube.

@scaramucci.bsky.social, Sorry sir, but your record is broken and a new benchmark for term 2 has been set.
Well now, I guess in the second Trump Term, Anthony has lost his benchmark status to Matt Gaetz and going forward we will judge people by the number of Gaetz’s they last.

Always remember that Trump is as incompetent as he is malevolent. 👉
somehow ”trump is god emperor and if he wills it it will occur” is a belief that is shared across the political spectrum
