A president imposing tariffs (on us) because he’s annoyed (by a real ad not fake) is not how the law works.

We are off the cliff, folks. 🇺🇸

US fan ugliness at the Ryder Cup was merely a reflection of Trump’s all-caps America | Bryan Armen Graham European players were subjected to slurs and crude insults about their families. They were no surprise as public discourse in America has broken down

Considering how badly a golf tournament went when America was involved, I have to wonder if the World Cup (football/soccer) next year will be an even bigger mess. www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/s...

It gets worse- there are three actually. There was one in Winnipeg, one in Brandon and another coming up in another Manitoba city.

After $5 million was thrown into the failed “Renew BU” project at Brandon University, a third party report into the project exposes serious governance concerns that need to be addressed. My editorial in today’s Brandon Sun. #bdnmb #mbpoli

Multiple journalists killed by Israeli strikes on Gaza hospital A hospital strike in southern Gaza has killed at least eight people, including four journalists. The attack happened on Monday.

BREAKING: Four journalists, including a freelancer who worked with AP, are among eight killed by an Israeli strike on southern Gaza's Nasser Hospital.

A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda.

This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵

Whisky, neat.

The White House looks like a cheap whore house.
A crazy person is in the Oval Office.
Criminals are running everything.
Racism is running more rampant than ever before.
Science is being replaced with idiocy.
And we are the laughing stock of the world.
What a time to be alive.
I need a beer.

It’s got some great food, good people and some awesome scenery. #canada

Netanyahu nominates Trump for Nobel Peace Prize Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu surprised President Trump at the White House by personally handing him a letter nominating him for the Nobel Peace Prize, calling it “well deserved.”

Thus is our world: an indicted war criminal who is overseeing genocide nominates a racist hatemonger who would hopes to turn the ruins of genocide into a resort, for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Thus cannot be our world.

Thus, the real voices of peace need to be all the louder friends.

Elon Musk is starting a political party that he can own from day one, designed to further his conspiratorial views and personal financial priorities.

This isn’t about freedom.
It’s about Elon.

Mine too. I can still recite it now thanks to all those years in elementary school saying it. Of course I grew up in Manitoba’s Bible Belt region as Mennonites had settled large parts of the Red River Valley — my father’s parents included.
