“And you, to whom adversity has dealt the final blow
With smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go
Turn to, and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain
And, like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again”

They stayed silent because it wasn’t their problem. That’s how injustice wins, not by force, but by the quiet approval of those who look away.
The system doesn’t need to break you. It just needs you to do nothing while it breaks others. And when it’s your turn, no one will be left to fight for you.

Hello lovely Americans, here’s my pitch to you.
Don’t talk about how Canadians and Europeans can save America from ourselves because we can’t do it.
They’re not here for that. They’re here to save themselves from us.

Remember learning about this guy? Mahatma Gandhi led many national strikes and acts of civil disobedience in India to protest British rule until they eventually gained their independence and self rule. It was a non violent movement. Be the change you want to see in the world.

As a Canadian, it’s of some comfort to see US lawyers defending the rule of law. Is anyone else even bothering?

Tune in next week to Cross Country Checkup: "Child pornography -- should it really be a crime? We chat with former Harper senior adviser Tom Flanagan about the pros and cons."
I see some people are upset with our topic Checkup Sunday. With President Trump repeating his "51st state" comments, we feel it is important to talk about. Even better, for Americans to hear our voices via the NPR stations that will be simulcasting.

@ianhanomansing.bsky.social this is a really bad take on an existential threat against Canada. “Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?” vibes. Yikes.
@ianhanomansing.bsky.social & the CBC:
Who is making you think this is the most responsible way to address a threat to Canada’s existence as we know it?
Why are you not instead doing a show on the reality of what that might mean and all the reasons we DON’T want to be 51?
My dudes 🤦🏼♀️.

It only takes a minute to let Doug Ford know he needs to cancel the Starlink deal! Link below.
Canada is vulnerable to being played like the next Ukraine.
Doesn’t matter if you’re an Ontario citizen, it will affect you anyway.
And if you use Starlink yourself privately, better think twice.
