Confirmed . nationalpost.com/news/canada/...

Would Netanyahu be arrested if he travelled to Canada? 'Yes,' Carney says

"The leader of the only Jewish state ... isn't welcome here. Make it make sense," said Macdonald-Laurier Institute senior fellow Casey Babb.

Finally. I’ve e been saying this for years. And yes, boycott Uline Canada too. Same group.

Emily L. Hauser (she/her) ❌👑 @emilylhauser.bsky.social · 1d

Uline's owners "have used their wealth to funnel millions of dollars into the most extreme RW politicians & mvmts... contributed $144 million to conservative groups in the 2024 election cycle... donated $4+ million to bankroll anti-abortion groups who pushed to overturn Roe v Wade."

Remember how the Death Star had that one hidden weakness?

Well, an important kill switch in this massive surveillance network is: individual control over a bunch of the nodes. People hold the power to tear the network down.

Love your neighbour, trash the Ring camera.

I dislike this kind of presser… with individuals (in this case children) in the background, shifting and floating with little to no interest. We can do better. #cdnpoli

Here’s the link to the just released ‘Housing Design Catalogue’ plans. Province-specific. There will be need for revisions depending on your site, local restrictions and build code requirements. That lack of roof overhang? Yikes. 😳 #CanadaSky

Trends and current values are weighted equally when determining the final score for a category. All Forecast input data and sources are available here (https://datastudio.google.com/embed/u/0/reporting/42b886cf-d661-488e-b7d8-5c5836b55ab6/page/p_2yqs028mwc).
