The ambassador should be called to the carpet on this. No canadian should set foot in America. This is an escalation.
This post to Truth Social requires an immediate response from the international community and either impeachment or invocation of the 25th amendment by Congress. Republicans, you are sleepwalking the world towards an entirely preventable catastrophe.

Donald Trump’s MAGA Republicans came to power under first-past-the-post. Nigel Farage’s Reform UK is on track for a majority with about 30% of the vote.
How long do we keep gambling this will not happen here?
We need proportional representation.

With proper signal priority, reliable service, and a flexible route, Waterloo Region's LRT is a good example of a successful transit service and planning tool. Though it has a few issues - including some slow sections and a restrictive operating contract -…

Continuing on the history thing, Guangzhou has been part of China since ca. 220BCE. And in the 2200 years since, the city centre has not moved.
Today, walking down Beijing Road, you can see the 1000-year-old ancient street underneath a glass display, uncovered back in 2002.

Our culture has such a reliance on art, mixed with so much disdain for artists' lives. Someone throws soup at a painting in a gallery or whatever and everyone acts like it's a literal murder, but that level of sympathy is for the object, almost never for the living conditions of artists.

Dunno what Canada’s numbers look like, but I’m sure they’re not far off.
I’m reminded of those “[Country] is living in 2099” videos that show some impressive piece of infrastructure they have over there. Thing is: they’re not. They’re living in the present. WE’RE the ones who are decades behind.

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this:
America's problems are solved problems. Just not here.
What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵
