He does not talk in terms of international law. He talks in terms of principles and values. "Principled in our commitment to fundamental values: sovereignty and territorial integrity, the prohibition of the use of force except when consistent with the UN Charter and respect for human rights."

Or maybe your traditional allies don't do war crimes?

Pssst you have pissed off most of your traditional allies so maybe they are leaving you behind. You don't win friends with tariffs, threats, and hate regimes.

As of an hour ago the entire south of Russia was under a massive drone attack, including jet-powered drones.

I'm starting to think that maybe they don't know how to do this themselves. It would explain a lot.

You have facts to back that up?

No.

• A small group of users drives interconnected conspiratorial claims: 100 online users account for 68% of conspiratorial posts, capturing 90% of views and 86% of likes. The same users generally promote multiple conspiratorial claims, particularly about the deep state, election fraud, and media-elite collusion, and gain attention primarily by posting around high-profile events. Why it Matters Anti-institutional conspiratorial claims can distort public de-bate, polarize citizens, and influence policy discussions. While some draw on genuine anxieties or partial truths, they often simplify complex issues into fear-driven narratives that normalize distrust in democratic institutions and media and shift attention away from evidence-based decision-making. Understanding how these claims gain traction online, and who engages with them, is essential for strengthening an information ecosystem that supports public accountability, high-quality information sources, and mutual (earned) trust between governments and citizens.

©TVNEWS Q Who is spreading conspiracy theory content in Canada? When asked, Lavigne wouldn't name the accounts responsible for promoting most of the conspiratorial content online. According to the study, social media influencers produce most of the conspiracy-related posts (87 per cent) and receive the most engagement, accounting for 89 per cent of views and 87 per cent of likes. Other key players include alternative news outlets and politicians. The observatory also surveyed a nationally representative sample of 1,459 Canadians between Oct. 20 and Nov. 7, 2025, to gauge their awareness, belief and engagement with eight conspiracy theories.

This recent study of accounts most responsible for spreading conspiracy theories in Canada, is important, BUT, I take issue with the fact that the researchers refused to name the 100 accounts responsible for 68% of false narratives.

Statement by Prime Minister Carney and Minister Anand on the situation in the Middle East

My statement on Iran-related hostilities in the Middle East:

I was gonna say we told you so but we're getting too repetitive. Still, one time for good measure. We fucking told you so. #NAFO

Again, for emphasis: russia has not agreed to ANYTHING. Nearly 100% of the media coverage presents the current situation as: if Ukraine agrees to giving up Donbas, there will be peace. That is not the case! Stop acting as if it were.

A “Who’s Who” of Global Far Right Extremists Gathered to Share Plans for Whites-Only Communities White supremacists from the U.S., Europe, South Africa, and Australia gathered in February to openly strategize about building whites-only communities and deporting millions.

My friend, when you hear
the machine men,

more meaningful
than the work we do
to take care of each other.
