Youโ€™re correct. A compliance agreement and no security clearance.

I forgot to mention when I went to the Blue Jays-Yankees game at Yankee Stadium last Wednesday, Americans loudly booed the Canadian national anthem. It felt incredibly disrespectful, but made the 5-2 score and the elimination of the Yankees even better.

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

In shot across Big Pharma's bow, California will sell its own insulin Delivery of the state-branded drug makes good on a longstanding promise by Gov. Gavin Newsom.

California to make and sell its own low cost insulinโ€ฆa 5 pack will cost around $55

No one should have to ration meds

No one should fear financial ruin because they need meds

When Frederick Banting sold the patent for insulin, he made it $1

A Canadian, he said life saving meds were for everyone

Wild how a guy who blew one of the biggest (perceived) leads in Canadian history, lost his own seat and chose to run in a riding that would elect a potato if it was declared the conservative candidate can somehow still present himself as so smug and arrogant tbh.

Karoline Leavitt should resign.

They try to make us hate each other to distract from the fact that they're robbing us all blind.

Housing Design Catalogue The Housing Design Catalogue provides standardized designs to make homebuilding easier. It features accessory dwelling units, townhomes and multiplexes.

Hereโ€™s the link to the just released โ€˜Housing Design Catalogueโ€™ plans. Province-specific. There will be need for revisions depending on your site, local restrictions and build code requirements. That lack of roof overhang? Yikes. ๐Ÿ˜ณ #CanadaSky

โ€˜Shock after shock:โ€™ Ontarioโ€™s automaking heartland devastated after Stellantisโ€™ Brampton bombshell Industry watchers fear 'more shoes to drop' after company says it's moving assembly of Jeep Compass in Brampton to Illinois in $13B U.S. expansion.

Might be a good time to share the wisdom of my father-in-law, who for decades was a machinist at a US-owned BC lumber mill:
If a US company faces a choice between keeping a US mill or a more-efficient Canadian mill open, theyโ€™ll choose the US mill every time. Home-country politics matters a lot.

Debbie Brockman of WGN in Chicago has hired an attorney and plans to fight back against her unlawful arrest and detention by ICE.

Freedom of the press is under attack.

Tackling and arresting journalists is another step towards state run media.

Bring on the lawsuits.

I don't think Putin can afford to admit that the war hasn't been a mistake&stop the war he cannot win.Thisโ€™ll mean the end of his power.He needs a war that lasts- lasts until the end of his life

Is Putin ready to stop the war?That is the wrong question
The right question is:Can Putin stop the war?โคต๏ธ
