Hey Critters!

As a quick note, our usual 9AM PT rebroadcast will be postponed this Friday, January 30th, so that everyone at Critical Role has the option to participate in the Nationwide General Strike in response to the ongoing brutality seen across our country, but especially in Minneapolis.

The attack at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney today was a vile act of antisemitic terror. I mourn those who were murdered and will be keeping their families, the Jewish community, and the Chabad movement in my prayers. May the memories of all those killed be a blessing. While we are still waiting for all the facts to emerge, what we already know is devastating. At least 11 dead, including Rabbi Eli Schlanger, who held deep ties to Crown Heights. At least 29 injured. Another Jewish community plunged into mourning and loss, a holiday of light so painfully reduced to a day of darkness. This attack is merely the latest, most horrifying iteration in a growing pattern of violence targeted at Jewish people across the world. Too many no longer feel safe to be themselves, to express their faith publicly, to worship in their synagogues without armed security stationed outside. What happened at Bondi is what many Jewish people fear will happen in their communities too. On Bondi Beach today, as men with long guns targeted innocents, another man ran towards the gunfire and disarmed a shooter. Tonight, as Jewish New Yorkers light menorahs and usher in a first night of Hanukkah clouded by grief, let us look to his example and confront hatred with the urgency and action it demands. When I am Mayor, I will work every day to keep Jewish New Yorkers safe—on our streets, our subways, at shul, in every moment of every day. Let this be a purpose shared by every New Yorker, and let us banish this horrific violence to the past.

Statement by Prime Minister Carney on Canada-U.S. trade.

My statement on Canada-U.S. trade:

Statement by Prime Minister Carney on Canada’s recognition of a Palestinian state.

Canada has long been committed to a two-state solution — an independent, viable, and sovereign Palestinian state living side by side with the State of Israel in peace and security.
 
My statement on Canada’s recognition of a Palestinian state:

And they wonder why female victims don’t step forward. #IStandWithEM

We need to start a CIVIL legal defence fund in Canada 🇨🇦 for women to sue their rapists if the criminal courts are not sophisticated enough to prosecute rape, and they are not in Canada. The conviction rate is 0.06%.

DOOCY: So what happened to the Epstein client list that the attorney general said she had on her desk? 

LEAVITT: I think if you go back and look at what the attorney general said 

DOOCY: I've got the quote. She said, it's sitting on my desk right now to review.

Reading & listening to classical music while a there’s thunder and rain outside - needed this for my nervous system

Minnesota politician and husband shot dead in 'politically motivated assassination' - second politician and wife wounded A manhunt is underway for the suspect - who was reportedly posing as a police officer.

The Right are now assassinating Democratic politicians.

NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade.

They departed Texas 5 days ago.

What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel.

Prime Minister Mark Carney and Minister LeBlanc during a First Ministers’ Meeting.

After I spoke with President Trump this morning, Minister LeBlanc and I discussed the current trade crisis with the premiers. We are all focused on fighting U.S. tariffs, protecting Canadian workers, and building one strong Canadian economy.

I hope Carney sues the National Post for libel

I’ve convened the Cabinet Committee on Canada-U.S. Relations this morning in response to President Trump’s attack on our workers and our industries. 
 
We will get through this crisis — and we will build a stronger, more resilient economy.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

If the federal party leaders left politics after the election and resumed their private sector careers:

Carney: International finance and commerce
Singh: Criminal defence lawyer
May: Environmental lawyer / Pedneault: Journalist
Blanchet: Owner artist management firm
Poilievre: Calgary Sun paperboy

My meeting with the Council on Canada-U.S. Relations was focused on keeping Canada’s economy strong in the face of unjust tariffs.  

We’re ready to engage with the U.S. on a comprehensive negotiation — when Canada is shown respect as a sovereign nation.

CANADA KNOWS WHO OUR FRIENDS ARE A Story of the Scheldt and the Netherlands

When there was a shitty job in the war it was given to the Canadians. We never flinched.
As the US threatens us and allies like Britain duck, we know where we stand. Defending democracy might be a thankless job but give it to Canadians.
We will get it done.
My latest.

Today, we’re building a government that meets the moment. Canadians expect action — and that’s what this team will deliver. A smaller, experienced cabinet that moves faster, secures our economy, and protects Canada’s future.

And finally, after waiting almost 12 months, I have my diagnosis. I have it in writing so I don’t second guess it, and a prescription dropped off at the pharmacy.

The amount of relief I feel right now is incredible.

KYIV INDEPENDENT: “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up.” kyivindependent.com/editorial-a-...

Okay todays agenda:

-Laundry (only one load)
-Clean Cat Water Bowls
-Vacuum Apartment
-Deep Clean Litter Box
-Work a few hours (this one is a maybe)

I can do this… right?

Ffs Ontario, you did NOT understand the assignment you were given today (or in the days you could utilize the advanced polls). There was no excuse for this to happen again. If you didn’t vote or voted for fords government, you have NO RIGHT to complain about the crap that will happen.
