Far right is only ever about getting into power where they would effectively rip apart the state. And to get into power, creating fear and division are their tools of choice. Lies and deceit are the mechanisms and, sadly, many normal people are gullible enough to take lies at face value. Beware!

Seems like the MAGAs never needed a good ol' fashioned invasion to annex us. They'll play the long game and take us over through their Fifth Column.

This was the order of events:

1. Paramount acceded to Trump’s extortion by paying a bribe.

2. Stephen Colbert calls his employer out for doing that.

3. Paramount fires Stephen Colbert for being honest about Trump.

4. Proving Trump’s bribe worked.

It's official: A new interstellar object is currently flying through our solar system at 61 km/sec.

Comet 3I/ATLAS, as it's now known, is only the 3rd known interstellar visitor, but the new Rubin Observatory is likely to find dozens more in the coming years. 🔭🧪

Dear fellow Cdns.
I don't like that he rescinded the tech tax BUT
April set an all-time high for int'l exports minus US
New trade partners, new deals

Exactly. We don't have the full picture, and personally I'm to give him the benefit of the doubt and wait until we see the final result before calling him the Canadian Starmer.

Everyone’s mad that we backed down on the tech tax. But here’s why this might be the smartest move we’ve made.
