Elie Wiesel warned that, β€œto forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time.” Canada will remember – so that β€œNever Again” is always true.

Mark Carney, "With our economy under threat from abroad (USA). Canadians are focusing on what we can control"

Canada's response to economic threats from Trump's USA is fantastic! If only Labour's Keir Starmer has this type of courage and vision

Trump is acting like an international gangster.

The Prime Minister has tried appeasing him for 12 months and has failed. It's time we finally stood up to him and united with our European allies to make him back down.

Donald Trump is acting like a crime boss running a protection racket, threatening to smash up our economy unless he gets Greenland.

Will the Prime Minister learn the lessons of history and truly stand up to Trump?

This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple.

They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years.

Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

Governor Mills’ Statement on Notice of Investigation From U.S. Department of Education
February 21, 2025

Washington, D.C. – Governor Janet Mills released the following statement today in response to the U.S. Department of Education notifying the Maine Department of Education that it has been directed to initiate an investigation into the State of Maine over alleged Title IX violations:

    β€œI have spent my career – as a District Attorney, as Attorney General, & now as Governor – standing up for the rule of law in Maine & America. To me, that is fundamentally what is at stake here: the rule of law in our country.

    β€œNo President – Republican or Democrat – can withhold Federal funding authorized & appropriated by Congress & paid for by Maine taxpayers in an attempt to coerce someone into compliance w/ his will. It is a violation of our Constitution & of our laws, which I took an oath to uphold.

    β€œMaine may be one of the first states to undergo an investigation by his Administration, but we won’t be the last. Today, the President of the United States has targeted one particular group on one particular issue which Maine law has addressed. But you must ask yourself: who & what will he target next, & what will he do? Will it be you? Will it be because of your race or your religion? Will it be because you look different or think differently? Where does it end? In America, the President is neither a King nor a dictator, as much as this one tries to act like it – & it is the rule of law that prevents him from being so.

    β€œI imagine that the outcome of this politically directed investigation is all but predetermined. My Administration will begin work w/ the Attorney General to defend the interests of Maine people in the court of law. But do not be misled: this is not just about who can compete on the athletic field, this is about whether a President can force compliance w/ his will, w/o regard for the rule of law that governs our nation. I believe he cannot.”

Governor Janet Mills of Maine should be a model to every Democratic governor and lawmaker out there, right now.

the only thing Canadians like more than beating Russia in hockey is beating the US in hockey.

the general sentiment this morning is that last night we got to do both.

Proud of you, Janet Mills. Tell that pompous moron to stick his federal funding up his arse!! Don’t stand for his BS for one instant. The only thing I wish you’d done while you were at it was ask him about the score in last night’s hockey game πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦!!

The government should draw up plans for Tesla tariffs to hit Musk where it hurts, if Trump follows through with his threats to the UK steel industry.

Trump and Musk can't be allowed to bully the UK while the Conservatives and Nigel Farage cheer them on from the sidelines.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

The Saint America Needs Now Kindness has become countercultural. Perhaps Saint Francis can help.

"We need Saint Francis. Now that kindness is countercultural, we need his extremes of wild charity to pull us back toward it. And we need his asceticism...his merry disdain of health and comfort and security, is a rebuke to our self-care...the only stability is the bottomlessness of divine love."

β€˜A Very Christian Concept’ The faith’s mandate is more arduous than J. D. Vance’s account seems to allow.

From Elizabeth Bruenig: "The tendency of humankind to be self-serving and deceitful is part of what makes me believe that Christianity is at its purest and most beautiful when it is counterintuitive and unwieldyβ€”that is, when it is least amenable to human convenience."
