I absolutely believe it. The Dominion voting machines are now owned by a Trump sympathizer.

After witnessing my dad's issues with GM, after seeing GM ppl go to Washington on a PRIVATE JET, hoping for a bail-out, after hearing how Pontiac preferred to let people crash and settle resulting lawsuits out of court rather than replacing a $1,57 part, the LAST car I would buy would be a US one.

Jamil Jivani is a vector for this moral disease. And he's waiting in the wings until Poilievre leaves.

Any Canadians who have doubts that the kind of hateful ignorance pervading right-wing politics in the US is being imported to Canada should think again.

🚨NEW: Following California's lead, Virginia is planning to redraw its Congressional map to cancel out GOP gains from partisan gerrymander.

Illinois and Maryland need to follow suit.

Time for a proper conservative party--not this whiny, conspiracy-theory loving, nit-picking claque of barking seals.

Mr. Trump stupidly assumes that the same overall number of people voted in 2020 as in Obama's election. And yet he pursues his argument.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 80th day out of the last 92.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

VIA Rail is pricing itself out of the travel market. If I drive to Montreal and back, I'm out roughly $70. If I take the train, I can expect to pay upwards of $150 return for coach. This isn't good for a business that claims to be in PUBLIC transportation.

Ditto. I have many American friends -- all of them hospitable, friendly people to a fault. But your political class is your failure. Your political class sucks.

Canada should follow suit, if it hasn't done so already. American intelligence services are seriously compromised, especially with this incipient Caligula at the top, and may be working against Canadian interests. @mark-carney.bsky.social

Spain has been coal-free since mid-July 2025. After brief, low-level output early that month, generation dropped to zero and has stayed there. REE & ENTSO-E data confirm 0 MW from coal in Aug–Oct 2025 — a historic clean-energy milestone driven by record renewable output ahead of the 2025 phase-out.

Flexibility key to green growth as Spain ditches coal, analyst says

Flexibility—storage, interconnectors and demand response—is key to integrating renewables as Spain phases out coal, analyst says.
