If you want to know why Canadians are boycotting US produce, this is one reason. The rollback of regulations that are designed to protect the health and safety of foods. I for one don’t feel I can trust American produce.

The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food. The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of PFAS — also known as "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

Nicolette Larson’s “Lotta Love” debuts on the Billboard charts 47 years ago today — a cover of Neil Young’s tune.
“I remember the day Neil heard her version,” said producer Ted Templeman. “He smiled and said something like, ‘That’s how the song should’ve felt.’ He was genuinely knocked out.”

Europe slowly comes to the obvious conclusion that Trump is an ally of the Kremlin, but not an ally of Europe, the UK, Canada or a participating member of NATO. The administration stayed home from Halifax and forced the US military to do so as well. This isn’t an aberration. wapo.st/4oZH3wz
Opinion | America has become a rogue nation. U.S. allies are looking elsewhere.

I’ve been REALLY reticent to use the term “disappear” to refer to people arrested by immigration enforcement, even when there’s now routinely a lag of hours or days before loved ones know where they’re being held.

Vicente Ventura Aguilar got picked up last month, but his family doesn’t know if he’s dead or alive. ICE says he’s not in their system, so they say they can’t help.
