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.

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

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

The cancer that infects the body politic in the United States is the mistaken belief that standing obstinately on an ideological position is the way to go, while the very essence of society is a collection of varying opinions, values and needs. This spells failure and can only result in fracture.
