The Cunard Restaurant in Miramichi may be closing. Guess running the same ad for 30 years on local HNIC and NFL broadcasts doesn’t pay off anymore.

That's how long Meta's been blocking news in Canada.
Doesn't matter if the outlet is based in Canada, the U.S. or Germany – we can't read it. Small non-profit or legacy newspaper. Can't read it. Posts made before Aug. 1, 2023? Nope. But disinformation, AI-generated spam, that'll pass.

If nothing else, pretty amazing Canadian PM Carney said the quiet part out loud today: international law has never been real and the ‘rules’ of the international order have never applied to the US and its allies.
This may indeed be the actual death of neoliberalism.

waiting for the Liberal stans to explain how this is 28-dimensional chess any moment now.
Canada denies participation in the Danish military exercise in Greenland: "As of this moment, the Canadian Armed Forces are not initiating any new operations in Greenland," said Maya Ouferhat, press secretary in the office of Canada's minister of national defense.
Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, Canada and France will participate alongside Denmark to expanded military exercises in Greenland.

the very idea of "MAGA rap" is about the biggest example of losing the plot in the history of anything.
I love MAGA rap because if you get enough clicks from racist pill heads, eventually the guy with the ps2 beard will magically appear for a feature in one of your songs like a video game power up to help you beef with the Branson MO scene

still stand by my prediction that if Trump does indeed try to go for Canada, the former mother country will not come to our aid in any way, shape or form.
