This does not, however, surprise me one bit.

Wow, this is something now. Who would have predicted this? The world turning on the USA?

Yes

BBC News report featuring a photo of Elon Musk in a dark suit and white shirt, sitting with his hands clasped, against a blurred background with logos. The headline reads: 'REPORT: Elon Musk is wasting everyone’s time and money, and serves no real purpose,' with the BBC News logo in the top right corner.

The BBC is quite correct.

For the “we’re living in a dictatorship!!” crowd…

For 20 years, The Economist has ranked countries on several factors and presented them in its “Democracy Index”.

Canada is a “full democracy”; the USA is a “flawed democracy”.

US sides with Russia in UN resolutions on invasion of Ukraine The UK and France abstain as the UN Security Council passes a text that does not criticise Moscow.

This is incredible. Since when did the USA turn its back on it's allies and side with Russia, North Korea, Hungary et al.? Ohhh wait........ I see what is happening.....

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social you would be amazing at doing this. I am a Canadian, and the American people need to hear the truth, and hear a well articulated reply to the dribble coming from the White House! Please.

This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ?

And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions !

We all look forward to reading your thoughts

How do you add to this starter pack. There is a bunch of great journalists and news agencies missing here.

This is so good.

@mcuban.bsky.social truth be told, it is 2 soon 2 tell. Cons in this country have united behind Trudeau. It would seem the "Pro Trump" crew that dragged down Truedesu is weakening. Polls show that the Liberals are gaining popularity. With a new leader I suspect they will gain even more support.

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period.

I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt.

But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

Agreed

Dozens of German universities turn back on X accounts BERLIN: Dozens of German universities said on Friday (Jan 10) they would no longer use social network X – owned by the world's richest man, Elon Musk – citing ethical concerns. More than 60 German uni...

Way to go Germany! I 100% support this.

Brazil judge says Big Tech must comply with local laws to keep operating Brazilian judge Alexandre de Moraes, who last year had led the Supreme Court decision that temporarily suspended social media platform X in the country, said on Wednesday tech firms would need to comply with laws in order to keep operating in Brazil.

I wonder if Canada will follow suit and hold tech companies feet to the fire. Hold social media to a level of ethical and moral standards. Follow a countries laws and where the industries will be a positive influence in society.

Musk’s rise is symptomatic of our neo-feudal capitalist times Trump’s ‘billionaire boys club’ has parallels in other supposedly liberal democracies around the world.

But if neo-feudalism is indeed the way of the world today, if billionaire plutocracy is on the rise, it likely means that liberal democracies may be heading increasingly towards authoritarian forms of government.

This.....is.....amazing!!!! And soooooooo accurate.

This clearly shows a lack of understanding by voters in American politics! Wow!

This is amazing. Physics is so amazing and cool. Yet, also a little funny at times!

B.C. mayor gets calls from across Canada about 'crazy' plan to recruit doctors For Dr. Cassandra Stiller-Moldovan, the first hire, the idea of having someone else worry about billing and running the office was a draw.

What a novel idea for a publicly funded health care system.

Pierre Poilievre is setting himself up to fail It’s one thing to promise that you’ll axe the tax, fix the budget, build the homes and stop the crime. As Pierre Poilievre is going to find out, it’s quite another to actually do it.

I wonder if Pierre Polilievre understands what is being written here in this article?
