So two elections, in countries among America's closest (erstwhile) allies, and the center-left parties not only beat the center-right party but the center-right opposition leaders lost their own seats. In Australia I guess not as exclusively abt Trump as in Canada. But still a big, big factor.

Ballot for Ottawa-Carleton riding.

Confessions of a Reluctant Nationalist I'd throw a punch to fight for Canada's sovereignty while reserving and exercising my right to criticize this country. That's a fine form of patriotism.

U.S. physician colleagues - did you know that Ontario, Canada has 3 expedited pathways to practice in our province? All specialties have needs. We *really* need great family docs! www.cpso.on.ca/Physicians/R...

Americans, the information you lack (because the CDC just removed or revised key information on contraception and STIs) is freely available in Canada.

O little town of Bethlehem,
Where Netanyahu sent in the army last Christmas Day to intimidate people because they protested mass killing of civilians.

The Romans had nothing on the criminals in the IDF.

Letter from Jagmeet Singh, Leader of the New Democratic Party of Canada, addressing Canadian issues and upcoming priorities for December 20, 2024.

Justin Trudeau failed in the biggest job a Prime Minister has: to work for people, not the powerful.
