Pam Bondi has basically said anyone visiting the US is subject to arrest and incarceration at any point, if law officials deem the individual a “threat”.

Bang goes the rest of the international tourism trade.

When asked about the UCP's statement on the last offer by the ATA which said teachers need to expect a deal that is "rooted in reality"...

ATA President Jason Schilling held very little back in his response.

Just had the horrible realization that Ontario’s premier is a Weeble who keeps getting in trouble but somehow never gets knocked down.

It’s infuriating.

Anyhoo, here’s some fairly damning photographic evidence that Doug Ford is, in fact, an entirely manufactured relic that should be retired.

A grid of 6 photos.

On the left side of the grid are photos of a pale, blond plastic toy.

On the right side of the grid are photos of a pale, blond plastic premier.

Sigh.

Danielle Smith couldn't articulate the difference between students and teachers and then postulates that if every registered teacher was working full time hours we wouldn't have a class size problem.

Pierre PoiLIEvre is a D!€k: Part 120

By “the left” he means “Liberals” right? The majority of Canadians based on the last Federal election results, which by the way he LOST BIGLY.

He’s unqualified, a proven liar and a walking national security risk. If he loves the US so much, just f*€king leave.

Center for Climate Integrity @climateintegrity.org · 1d

"The first-of-its-kind study shows that the world’s biggest oil and gas companies contribute less than 1.5% to global renewable energy — contradicting industry claims to be pioneers in the energy transition."

Study: Oil companies are not ‘part of the solution’

New research in the journal Nature reveals oil and gas companies own a “marginal” share of global renewable capacity, years after claiming they would lead the energy transition.
