@acoyne.bsky.social On "At Issue," you are correct that Canada should not be doing side deals with Donald Trump on trade. Trump prefers one-to-one negotiations over multilateral agreements as he can control one-to-one settings better. Canada will get screwed.

The European countries need to offer a lot more to Ukraine than what Trump's United States is offering.

Trump leads a banana republic.

I like the organic bananas from Vermont. The pineapples from Iowa are very sweet! Don't forget the coconuts from Alaska.

Tomorrow, I will be supply/substitute teaching in a kindergarten class. As long as I end up with the same number of students at the end of the day as I will have at the start, the homeroom teacher (whom I am replacing) will be happy with me.

"Who are the people in your neighborhood? In your neighborhood? In your neighborhood?

Here comes your friendly ICE monsters.
They grab all the filthy abuelas.
They walk down the street.
Without missing a beat.
They tear gas all the Black fellas."

Those are too modern for me. I like my 8-tracks from K-Tel. youtu.be/Yx0KBLFG8qc?... I like the close-ups of the T-shirt designs. Very stylish!

What's a CD?

Santa is definitely an illegal Latino. Santa is a Latino name. As for Frosty, his full name is Frosty el Muñeco de Nieve. ¡Definitivamente ilegal!

What's an album? 😄

If Pete Hegseth had used the whiny Caillou, this would be believable.

Check the "schedule."

Most bills will pass first reading.

The most important day in an election campaign is the first full day. If the leader does not mention an issue like electoral reform, it's not important for him/her. Jagmeet Singh never talked about electoral reform unless asked by someone else. #ndp #cdnpoli

I am looking forward to Toronto's first permanent pedestrian street. #topoli

If Doug Ford's government gave his dentist a $2 million grant, I want to go to his dental office and get my teeth cleaned while receiving some lap dances at the same time.

There is good corruption and bad corruption. Which one is Dougie doing? Who knows? Corruption is all the same to me. 😁

Progressive voters care about the environment. They also care about Indigenous rights. Middle-of-the-road may also care about these issues, but not as much. As long as an oil pipeline doesn't go through North Vancouver, Mark Carney will be fine with those who live there.

If Mark Carney's Liberals lose one percentage point to the NDP, he will gain two percentage points from the Conservatives who will lose those two percentage points.

The problem with progressive Canadians on Bluesky is that we assume that Mark Carney needs progressive voters. Yes, he might lose a some support from progressive voters based on his support for a potential pipeline through BC. He may gain twice as much support from people who voted Conservative.

Getting back to neighbourhoods in Toronto, no religious or ethnic community owns a neighbourhood. If Black or brown Canadians wish to March through white Rosedale, that should be their right. They should not be limited to the non-European ethnic and non-white racial suburbs of Toronto.

...act of just protesting should not be construed as intimidation. People may not like the viewpoints of those who protest. If the protestors are not calling for violence against people living in Toronto and in Canada, the right to protest peacefully should be protected.

"...voice anger or concern about Israel, there was an appropriate place to do so: the Israeli consulate."

Mr. Farber fails to mention which Muslim groups the CJC had this implicit agreement with. Also, there are excrement few Jewish ir Muslim majority neighbourhoods in Toronto.

Finally, the...

From Bernie Farber:

"Years ago, when I was CEO of Canadian Jewish Congress, there were unwritten but widely respected rules that kept the peace: The Jewish community did not stage demonstrations in Muslim neighbourhoods, and they did not bring their protests into ours. If anyone wished to..."

Volodymyr Zelenskyy needs to be assertive in voicing his opposition to bad "peace" plans. He can't appear to be negotiating if he thinks a peace plan is bad. It makes him look weak.

One thing I think Mark Carney should promote is the learning of other languages in our elementary, secondary, and tertiary schools. That way, Canada will be better prepared for an international market. Work with the provinces and territorial governments on it. #cdnpoli
