Hoping former PM Justin Trudeau will sue for libel/slander. Pretty open & shut civil case here. Not in Parliament, and a total lie.

Middle East cease-fire, not peace.

Olga Nesterova @onestpress.onestnetwork.com · 2d

In other words, kiss your Tomahawks bye bye.

I have just concluded my telephone conversation with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, and it was a very productive one.
President Putin congratulated me and the United States on the Great Accomplishment of Peace in the Middle East, something that, he said, has been dreamed of for centuries. I actually believe that the Success in the Middle East will help in our negotiation in attaining an end to the War with Russia/Ukraine.
President Putin thanked the First Lady, Melania, for her involvement with children. He was very appreciative, and said that this will continue. We also spent a great deal of time talking about Trade between Russia and the United States when the War with Ukraine is over. At the conclusion of the call, we agreed that there will be a meeting of our High Level Advisors, next week.
The United States' initial meetings will be led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, together with various other people, to be designated. A meeting location is to be determined. President Putin and I will then meet in an agreed upon location, Budapest, Hungary, to see if we can bring this "inglorious" War, between Russia and Ukraine, to an end. President Zelenskyy and I will be meeting tomorrow, in the Oval Office, where we will discuss my conversation with President Putin, and much more. I believe great progress was made with today's telephone conversation.

Just west of Fort Qu’Appelle in Saskatchewan, the Standing Buffalo Dakota Nation is working across the US border to revive centuries-old trade routes as part of a new Indigenous-governed trade corridor.

25 years ago today I stood on a blockade on the Adams Mine road. In defiance of potential mass arrests we held Thanksgiving dinner for 1,000 people.
I made the decision that weekend that I would dedicate my life to resistance and defending people.
Happy Thanksgiving

Election Truth Alliance @electiontruthalliance.org · 13d

Our NEW Minnesota Special Report compared hand counts and machine counts in similarly sized precincts in the same congressional district.

We found hand counts appear statistically normal, while machine counts exhibit known patterns consistent with vote manipulation.

Election Truth Alliance Special Report:
Minnesota Hand Count vs. Machine Count
Key Findings
Hand counts appear to be statistically normal:
In precincts where votes were hand counted, voter turnout demonstrated no significant correlation with candidate vote shares, aligning with experts’ expectations for non-manipulated elections.
Machine counts reveal signs of vote manipulation:
In contrast, machine count precincts exhibited a strong positive correlation where higher turnout disproportionately increased Republican vote shares while decreasing Democratic vote shares.
Significant differences between vote count types:
When analyzing precincts of similar size in the same Congressional District, the Republican presidential and senatorial candidates both received significant differences in vote share when comparing hand count precincts (58% and 49%, respectfully)
and machine count precincts (64% and 57%).
These differences are statistically significant
and warrant further investigation.

I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service.

Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.

Paris Marx @parismarx.com · 23d

The government is reducing service standards and Canada Post’s biggest advantage: its nationwide network.

This plan is about cutting back the postal service instead of investing to give it new revenue tools through things like postal banking. It’s shameful.
