Good for you Quebec is beautiful.

Can somebody explain this to me like I'm a 2 year old?

Wow when I saw this post, it was so wild, I had to look up the raw trade data for myself.

Sure enough, U.S. wine exports to Canada have fallen off a cliff:

Catherine McKenna 🇨🇦 -
"I did take every question from Poilievre in Question Period many days where he mocked climate action. His condescending, snide, arrogant nature is nothing new. It was brutal then but way worse for an aspiring Prime Minister. We need an adult focused on Canadians.> #cdnpoli

Runaways: Sounding the alarm at the Centre jeunesse de Laval – The Rover At least three of the four young girls who went missing from the Montreal region in early February are placed at the Laval youth detention centre.

A bunch of teenagers from Laval went missing and nearly became the victims of human trafficking. We know this only because of an investigation by @laconverse.bsky.social. The kids were fleeing a youth centre in Laval. An essential read in @therovermedia.bsky.social

🧵 À notre media, The Rover, on a publié deux des plus gros dossiers dans l’actualité québécoise ces derniers huit mois, on publie en français, on paye nos pigistes plus que Le Devoir, Gazette, LP, on se finance majoritairement par abonnements mais on n’a jamais la chance d’en parlez à Radio-Canada…

Watching Trump and Vance in the Oval Office is like seeing Hitler and Göring resurrected.
Two sick sociopaths.
The world is at the edge of an abyss.

Le système d’injustice du Québec Parce que les tribunaux sont engorgés, des centaines de personnes, pour la plupart démunies, sont incarcérées inutilement. Certaines en meurent, dans des prisons dignes d'une autre époque. Enquête.

Team USA star Matthew Tkachuk delivers stern one-liner after Canadian fans boo during American national anthem Tkachuk recently said he is 'grateful' to be an American at the White House

I understand why an American hockey player would not like hearing his national anthem booed.

The American hockey player must also understand that I don’t like having his president threaten war against my country.

Fair?

On Ukraine, Europe must step into the void | Virgin

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

Legault passing the buck to the cities.

The Closure of ‘Iconic’ Nouvel Établissement and the Uncertain Future of Nightlife – The Rover The City of Montreal is promising a better future for nightlife venues, but bylaws impacting venues are left up to the boroughs.

Montreal’s night life has always been for outcasts and weirdos but it’s being suffocated by gentrification and goddamn noise complaints.
Can the city’s new nightlife policy help us freaks fight back???? @emeliafournier.bsky.social with another brilliant piece.
