It worries me deeply how determined Danielle Smith and others in Alberta appear to be in following the MAGA Project 2025 playbook.
Criminalize DEI
Blame immigrants.
Privatize everything.

I applaud Professor @amirattaran.bsky.social (University of Ottawa) in publicly opposing this.

This is superb. Wayne Horton may have invented a new genre of journalism. This is a deeply informed, wonderfully enlightening essay on how to behave in bad faith negotiations, as well as a perfect reading of Carney's manner and thinking, and it's satire. It is explanatory parody. And it's right.

Canada, we have to do better on gun control. There is no way we can let this school shooting in Tumbler Ridge go unaddressed. We are not USians. We MUST respond to this, and we must do so together as a nation.

It is NOT okay that school shootings happen. Not here. Not anywhere. We MUST solve this.

This will weaponized internationally, but it's important to note how it is being weaponized *in the exact same way* in Canada. This is all such a tragedy.
Within hours, we already had an elected official—B.C. MLA Tara Armstrong—blaming the Tumbler Ridge school shooting on gender-affirming care.

“Of the two-thirds who say they would vote in a referendum to stay (in Canada), the vast majority say they would not live in an independent Alberta.”

Aaand there you go: Trump’s sudden about-face on the most important Canada-US border crossing came after meeting with the billionaire family that owns the rival bridge. Nice scoop, confirming suspicions of everyone who has followed this file and is familiar with Trump www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/w...

A conservative Canadian broadcast news network is incorporating propaganda from U.S. dark-money-funded think tanks directly into its regular programming.

The Ambassador Bridge was built in 1928 and is an object lesson as to why *international crossings* should never be in private hands.

The family that owns it has destroyed entire neighbourhoods in Detroit and Windsor (including my childhood neighborhood) in bids to maintain power over the crossing.

Every country surely must understand by now that any agreement they have entered into with the US and any agreement they are currently negotiating is utterly worthless while Trump is president.

who told him about the Gordie Howe bridge. I don’t buy that he just found this out randomly. I smell the Moroun family in this tweet
Trump, in the middle of his latest unhinged Truth Social screed, claims that if Canada makes a trade deal with China, "the first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup."

This is a fake Trump post, and the account that posted it here has been told repeatedly that it's a fake Trump post but still has it up.

That's an easy block.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams
