Add it to your list of "please don't vote for this corrupt asshole again" talking points. Keep raising them with your friends until they react with the same level of disgust my normie friends do when his name comes up.

This is such tedious bullshit.
The 7.3% figure is driven by food at restaurants, because a year ago, there was the "GST holiday" and a year-over-year price comparison from that is skewed. Food at stores actually moderated last month.
Also, Carney doesn't control Brazil's climate for coffee beans. 1/

Federal Economic Analysis for Detention Site Riddled With Errors on Taxes, Jobs, Geography Document incorrectly references Oklahoma economy and inflates job numbers with theoretical positions

Special for my friends in the media!

Before you use numbers from a new DHS β€œeconomic impact analysis” in reporting on a new Trump prison camp, please consider that these reports appear to be (to use a technical term) horseshit.

Helpful explanation here:

Anti-feminist ideology β€˜increasingly relevant’ to national security: CSIS - National | Globalnews.ca Officials with Canada's security and intelligence agency told MPs the ideology 'can function as an enabling factor along pathways to violent extremism' but is not itself a threat.

β€œThese narratives can provide grievance frameworks that legitimize hostility toward women and gender equality, and elements of them are consistent with those observed in ideologically motivated violent extremism.”

Ofelia Torres, teen who fought to have her father released from ICE custody, dies from rare cancer Ofelia Torres, 16, died on Friday from Stage 4 alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer, her father's lawyer confirmed.

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.

This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.

Not one dime for this cruelty.

European leaders are now pushing back against the "great replacement theory" and other "White Christian Nationalist" propaganda that JD Vance spewed at the Munich security conference.

This is a popular bit of wishcasting, you see it in both left and centrist-y versions, and it is absolutely not true. Populism is about identity and exclusion, it is not people lashing out because they secretly yearn for whatever your preferred economic policy is.

How Canada and Denmark "Fought" the Whiskey War It has been so inspiring to see Canada standing with the people of Greenland and Denmark.

The story of the Canada/Denmark Whiskey war of 2022.
And also the story of how a small group of Canadian soldiers stopped the Soviet tanks at the Denmark border and secured the freedom of the Danish people.
Allies.

Silicon Valley's Push Into Transportation Has Been a Miserable Failure The titans of tech brought plenty of disruption to our broken transportation system but delivered little in the way of innovation.

β€œElon Musk admitted to his biographer that the reason the Hyperloop was announcedβ€”even though he had no intention of pursuing itβ€”was to try to disrupt the California high-speed rail project to get in the way of that actually succeeding.” β€” @parismarx.com in @gizmodo.com

We bought Article II of the United Nations Charter with the blood of a hundred million human beings, and less than a century later, it's being sold for nothing by people who don't even understand what they're doing.

I was reminded that yesterday was the 4th anniversary of the now-dubbed "Battle of Billings Bridge" when over a thousand of us in Ottawa blockaded convoyers from coming into our city.

With the growing far-right, it's a good reminder of how we can still fight back - and win.

I'm seeing this get shared around in lots of places. (So apologies for picking on Judy) But it is sloppy research.

This wire transfer is to "Harper & Associates Inc," which is the name of multiple firms across the U.S.

The former prime minister's company is "Harper & Associates Consulting Inc."

In November 2013 a Ukrainian protest comprising thousands of college students became a Euromaidan of millions.

Normal men and women without strong political views faced down paramilitary thugs in the freezing cold.

Asked why, they said the same thing he does.

This is literally the most basic aspect of an economy.

Give money to the bottom, it trickles up.

It creates 3-4 times the β€œwealth” and in the end, after reaching the greedy top, its taxed back out of the economy.

It’s growth and support without inflation.

when MAGA white supremacists like Carl whinge abt passing of 1965 Hart-Celler Immigration Act they are complaining that it overturned 1924 Johnson-Reed Act, a law limiting immigration to people from Northern Europe, which was drafted by eugenicist Rep.

We do. Like Poland, we want every Canadian connected to this to be investigated, and prosecuted if there are grounds.
We want proceeds of crime legislation to be used to seize every asset and dollar they have in this country.
And we want every politician connected to it investigated and exposed.
