Anthropic is backing off this position, because if they hold to this position, they will lose a very large and important contract from DoD. Companies will focus on staying in business above all else, they are amoral. Moral, ethical and societal guardrails to protect us are why we have governments.

When I hear someone say, “russia wants peace,” it feels like they’re mocking us.
While they say this, we are hiding our children in shelters from russian missiles and drones.

Under the heading: Absolute power corrupts absolutely

It would be extremely painful to shut down the border if CUSMA deal is not renewed and tariffs remain in place, but if that is the situation we're in, shutting down exports of oil, lumber, steel, aluminum, potash, nickel, uranium, copper and other critical minerals to the U.S. should be implemented.

“The U.S is harming themselves with these tariffs. It takes some time for that to filter through. I’ve seen this movie before. I know exactly what is gonna happen. This is what’s gonna happen to them”

— Mark Carney
Canada’s Prime Minister 🇨🇦

I think about the scandals that have brought down democratic governments around the world… and the Trump regime grifts, commits criminal acts and lies more almost every day with absolutely no consequences.

If Orban is reelected, then NATO must consider removing Hungary from treaty membership. It is becoming increasingly clear that Orban is a puppet of Putin.

Our military needs new equipment to protect Canadians and our Allies. Our new Defence Industrial Strategy means we’re making it here, in Canada.

It's not every day you have a call with three gold medalists. Another massive congratulations to Ivanie Blondin, Valérie Maltais, and Isabelle Weidemann on your back to back gold medals. 🥇🇨🇦

This is what happens when 2 of 3 branches of government refuse to honour their sworn oath to the constitution, and your constitution and supreme court make the executive branch immune to criminal prosecution.

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

Difficult to do, but tax the corporations in perpetuity the amount of the salary that they eliminate through AI or robotics. Then use that money to pay a salary to the people that are no longer employed. Allows corporations to utilize AI for productivity, but preserves the economy.

Screenshot of an article from the Financial Post’s website. The headline reads: Canada aims to boost defence exports by 50%, creating 125,000 jobs.

The new Defence Investment Agency will speed up procurement, cut red tape, and expand domestic production.

We’ll protect our sovereignty, strengthen our defence industry, and create thousands of new careers.

Canada’s new Defence Industrial Strategy will transform our military and defence supply chains — creating good careers at home, opening new markets for our businesses, and equipping the Canadian Armed Forces with the world-class equipment they need to protect Canada and our Allies.

Canada is now the first non-European country to be granted a membership in SAFE. This is a gamechanger program that means Canada can rearm our Canadian Armed Forces members more effectively and scale up our defence industries with more contracts overseas.

The Trumpists like to present themselves as defenders of the West.

There is one country fighting against brutality and barbarism, and in defense of everything we cherish about the West: Ukraine.

The Trumpists are hostile to Ukraine.

The Trumpists are betrayers of the West.

😂

Happy Flag Day, Canada 🇨🇦

Canada bets on ‘Build at Home’ defence strategy to reclaim sovereignty — and revive readiness - CBC News

I love it! Trump’s behaviour has resulted in Canada finally taking ownership of its own defence. Increasing Canadian innovation and economic benefits and reducing our spending on U.S. production

Canadians Call It Treason as Alberta Separatists Face National Backlash A clear majority agree that turning to the U.S. for assistance in separation is inappropriate

On this National Flag Day, the Maple Leaf flies at half-mast.

Today our flag carries a message for the community of Tumbler Ridge: Canada is with you.

These Trump regime officials sound so incredibly stupid, but I don't believe it for a minute... I do think they are that incredibly evil, however.

We live in challenging times. But these are also clarifying times, where the choices are clear, and we have examples to admire.

All honor to the Epstein survivors.

All honor to the people of Minneapolis.

All honor to the people of Ukraine.
