X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand.

The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

Duffy: "Trump talks about the golden age of transportation. But the golden age in transportation truly begins with you ... People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly ... so we want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season: Help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"

The Supreme Court of Canada’s rejection of child-pornography mandatory minimums reflects an allegiance to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, not a crisis.

La politique québécoise vit un vrai séisme : scandale au PLQ, chaos à QS, députés qui quittent la CAQ… et peut-être même une marche dans la neige de Legault pendant les Fêtes. 🔥

Un conseil : ignorez les sondages jusqu’en janvier. Trop de plaques tectoniques bougent en même temps.

J'ai vu ce groupe Les Bilinguish Boys hier. Amusant et impressionant.
La 1ère partie était Benny Jones de la Gaspésie/Îles de Madeleine. Excellent conteur, bonne musique.
