I’m good with this. They won’t be ordering any more. They won’t be paying to store product while it just gathers dust. And they say they’ll give any net profit to Feed Nova Scotia.

We have seen a spike in the number of inquiries about Procedural Fairness Letters people are getting from provincial immigration offices. Feels like the tip of the iceberg.

“Canadians please come back to the United States, we love you(r tourism money)”

Uh huh. Nope.
Whoever came up with the idea of charging foreigners a $100 surcharge to enter the big national parks has obviously never visited a national park.

- It will discourage foreign visitors (and their money)
- It will mean miserably long wait times for everyone as park entry attendants check passports

Whoo! We lack the motion

It's here for us to admire
Can afford the beauty of it
Can afford the luxury of turning our heads
If we can (If we can x3)
Adjust that thousand-dollar smile
And behold the creation of man

You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

Ok this is big. Sen. Rounds iterates that, per Rubio, Thursday is a deadline to begin negotiations — not a deadline for Ukraine to accept the deal. There is no threat of revoking intelligence sharing or ending arms shipments from the administration, he says.

I’ve been in a room with Putin. He calls Ukrainians “Russians with accents.” His real fear isn’t NATO expansion, it’s democracy expansion. It shatters his entire argument for dictatorship at home. Because if Ukrainians embrace freedom, Russians may demand the same.

Canada and the rest of the G7 have to tell Trump no. Russia cannot join; the G8 is not coming back as a condition of surrender in Ukraine.

The coalition of the willing needs to back Ukraine in telling Trump to stuff it.

Pick a fucking side. Not right or left, up or down, but democracy or killing your political enemies. Those are the choices.
The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Media is reporting that #COP30 delegates are appropriately questioning Canada’s commitments to #ClimateAction.

To be clear, we can’t do nation-building, we can’t grow and diversify the Canadian economy and global relationships, and we can’t make Canada strong, if we don’t lead on #ClimateChange.
