Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.
Pokrovsk, birthplace of 'Carol of the Bells', is being destroyed by Russian fire.

That’s where Father Oleksandr built his church while working night shifts in the mines. But today, his city, and his church, are in ruins.
Russia incinerates birthplace of famous Christmas song
While much of the world sings the iconic ‘Carol of the Bells’ melody this holiday season, the tune’s birthplace is slowly being erased by Russia. Oleksandr, a priest, witnessed this destruction firsth

Canada AND Alberta... am I too sensitive? as if Alberta is not part of Canada? Or are the rest of Canada not working hard to build a stronger economy!?
Canada and Alberta are focused on what we can control: building a stronger, more sustainable, more competitive, and more independent economy together.

Often the next Conservative leader will only be worse... so this is not something to be excited about. 🙄🤨
📉 Poilievre’s approval just tanked — 60% of Canadians view him unfavourably, only 34% like him. Even his own base is wobbly. Maybe the “rage farming” routine’s gone stale?

Among the nice surprises in today's 🇨🇦 jobs report: Manufacturing added 9K jobs in Oct despite Trump's attacks. That puts us above 0 on a year/year basis. Compare that to the self-inflicted LOSS of 78K manufacturing jobs in the US. Trump's trade war backfires for US workers. #cdnecon #canlab

1/7 I am kicking myself for not getting the screenshot of this because it seems fake, but holy cognitive dissonance Batman!

Let me set the stage.

On Threads, I stumbled across a post talking about how "Canada has fallen". Really, threads on that platform (more so on Twitter) are a dime a dozen.

You'd think a Councillor with a record of cutting services and delaying action on safe streets would have the decency to at least live -near- the community he's damaging.

He makes the cuts. We'll live with the consequences.

Yikes! They’re running the Reagan tariff video on the World Series, while the Blue Jays are beating the Dodgers badly. Trump is probably throwing ketchup bottles.

Canada's parliament started the week giving a standing O for free speech and the memory of Charlie Kirk.
They ended it by joining Orban's Hungary and Trump's America in targeting @kneecapceol.bsky.social an Irish hip hop group for challenging the genocide.
Not our finest hour.

What a rich & evidence-based review by @ghadaa.bsky.social for @thestar.com of recent wild claims about the TFW program: www.thestar.com/news/canada/.... Yes, it was unduly expanded (under both Harper & Trudeau) and needs big changes. But blaming TFWs for the labour market's funk is a lie. #canlab

Charlie Kirk's death was a tragedy.
But he built his name on provocation and white supremacy.
He said that gun deaths of innocents was "worth it."
On Mark Carney's first day as PM in Parliament Liberals gave Kirk a standing ovation.
Ceding ground to extremism won't make them nicer.

A standing ovation — from Liberals too — for Charlie Kirk in the Canadian House of Commons.

You can (and should) oppose political violence without doing all this, you know.
