This press conference should be a wakeup call to anyone who (still) doesn't think Trump and America represent a clear threat to Canada's sovereignty and independence.

Cuba is clearly next. Then who?

Tweet from Elon Musk: The path to solving hunger, disease and poverty is AI and robotics

I always thought the path to solving hunger, disease and poverty would be available and affordable food coupled with sustainable agriculture practices, universal access to healthcare, and a livable minimum wage, but what the hell do I know?

When I was driving from Columbus to Madison a lot the highlight of the trip was driving through this enormous wind farm, just mankind gently turning planetary whims into usable power, as far as the eye could see in either direction. Really beautiful to see, even at night

White House Proposal Could Gut Climate Modeling the World Depends On Potential funding cuts for NOAA and its research partners threaten irreparable harm not only to climate research but to American safety, competitiveness, and national security.

The potential loss of the world’s greatest climate forecasting tool has ramifications for long-term safety and security.

NOAA’s climate modeling systems help the Defense Department not just operate but anticipate and prepare for emerging threats.

Carol Off hits it out of the park with the most insightful and poignant defence of the CBC, and its importance to Canada’s social fabric, that I have read to date. Well done!

Tweet from Mohamed Safa that reads "Best voting advice: Voting isn't marriage. it's public transport. You're not waiting for "the one." You're getting on the bus. And if there isn't one going exactly to your destination, you don't stay home and sulk. You take the one closest to where you want to be."

Every college and university should do this to remind Americans that attacks on these institutions are actually attacks on all of us.

Pharma giants push Trump insiders to target Canadian drug pricing A vial of insulin costs far, far more in the U.S. than it does up here.

A vial of insulin costs far, far, far, far more in the U.S. than it does in Canada, as do most other drugs.

Could our beloved price gap become a casualty of Trump's trade war?

Possibly, if a group of pharma companies gets its way.

Why Cory Booker’s Speech Matters Booker didn’t “accomplish” anything. He was a voice of one crying in the wilderness. And that’s how you build a dissident movement: with simple acts of witness.

"The catch is that in order to get attention, you have to be terrible. You have to lie or embrace evil. In the attention economy there is enormous demand for civic blasphemy. What’s hard is getting attention for messages about truth, or virtue, or love."

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

Canada chose supply managed markets for dairy and poultry over 50 years ago to combat wildly fluctuating pricing at the farm level and for consumers. A key component is to control supply, including what herd/flock health treatments will be allowed by consumers. CA has its own equivalent of FDA. 2/

What to Know About Food Expiration Dates - Bluedot Living The Food Date Labeling Act (created in 2019 and not yet passed) aims to standardize the terminology surrounding labels.

Blue Dot’s most read story in 2024 debunks “best before”dates.
“Dates stamped on many of our foods — “best before,” “sell by,” — have nothing to do with food safe. They are determined by lab tests that estimate when a food tastes best.”

As Canada faces the greatest threat to our sovereignty since WWII, the effects of Donald Trump's threats are already being felt by most Canadians. As a proud Canadian-owned and operated company, we want to do our part to support Canadians. As a family we have decided to absorb all immediate increases in our costs due to the Trump-tariffs for the rest of the year to maintain our prices. We are actively looking internationally for alternative suppliers of ingredients that are unavailable within Canada. We will continue to reinforce Canadian-first policies within our operations, because together we are stronger. We will never be the 51st state! - Ashley Chapman, Chief Operating Officer

Americans, if you don't get what makes Canada different than the US, then take a look at what this beloved Canadian company is doing for its consumers until the end of this year. We take care of one another. 🍁🍁🍁

Post this 👇 on all your sites. They are trying to create doubt with lies. They will use up a lot of media to get this message out. We have to make as much noise. Harper would have said something right away if he thought Carney was lying, except he didn't think PP's numbers would tank so low.
