Did you know that in Canada, if a budget doesnโ€™t pass the government doesnโ€™t shut down?

Federal workers arenโ€™t furloughed.

Funding for social services doesnโ€™t dry up.

Failure to pass a budget triggers an election.

It puts the politicians jobs on the line.

They get the budget passed.

Our freedom was won by brave women and men who answered the call โ€” including the heroic First Nations, Inuit, and Mรฉtis members of the Canadian Armed Forces.

On Indigenous Veterans Day, we honour the sacrifice of those who have served, those who serve today, and their families.

I wanted ChatGPT to help me. So why did it advise me how to kill myself? ChatGPT wrote a woman a suicide note and another AI chatbot role-played sexual acts with children, BBC finds.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. Iโ€™m not backing down, and weโ€™re going to win.

The Trump Action Tracker has an update!

Main change is to break down the five authoritarian domains into ten - this allows for easier understanding of why actions have been logged and more tools for searching / filtering the now 1621 actions.

Something unexpected happened at the @meidascanada.ca town hall in Victoria.
A group of young Afghan girls who escaped the Taliban showed up and asked to speak. They told their story of the fight for education and the need for Canada to help.
We will be sharing their story.

Since MAGA seems to like paying tariffs, I think they should pay more. Hence the additional *export* tariffs for critical goods the U.S. needs to operate its economy.
