We’re one week into 2026, and U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration is already reaching new levels of impunity.

So uh, could a Canadian leader with a backbone please stand up??

I'm back, and I'm pissed about this cowardice (and in some cases, outright acquiescence):

Israeli Army Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir's statement that the “Yellow Line” dividing Gaza will be Israel's new border shows that Israel's plan in Gaza follows its history of redrawing its borders through ethnic cleansing and land grabs.

Is anybody still surprised by this at this point?
Mark Carney has been literally slipping talking points put together by tech billionaires and the Build Canada group they founded into his speeches.

Grim revelation — and of course, the tech industry is thrilled about it.

This is half of the equation. The other half is that Carney's actions make perfect sense when you realize that he's basically an outside consultant. He's applying a set of generic (conservative) policies to a complex organization without consideration of the organization's specifics needs.

It's actually hard to chill out knowing we issued a similar statement TWO MONTHS AGO warning that Israel must let humanitarian aid flow.

TWO MONTHS LATER and all we can manage is a strongly worded finger wagging? What the fuck is wrong with us?

This cowardice is a permanent stain on our country.
NEW from the Canadian government on the genocide in Gaza! It's......more words.

Not even on our own, because GOD FORBID. It's a joint statement with several other nations:

"The war in Gaza must end now."

Still calling it a "war," huh?

The fed gov cuts to pay for military and wealthy tax cuts have rapidly expanded. My new analysis shows that most of the cuts will now be on transfers to other govs, non-profits and people. A stunning 1 in 5 dollars is just cuts to FN govs for basic social programs. @policyalternatives.ca 🧵👇👇
