Golden Dome signals change to Canada’s long-time opposition to joining U.S. missile defence Canada opted to stay on the sidelines in 2005 as the U.S. developed defences against ballistic missiles

My naive wish is that even one Canadian journalist, one politician, one security analyst, would address the implications of Canada choosing military integration with an authoritarian power that no longer respects the rule of law or international law.
Looks like that’s not going to happen today.

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking?

Oof! What an image

Avi Lewis made some posts about her but I haven’t seen anything from The Party

this is an explicitely nazi administration and anyone who still supports them should be viewed as such

Why? What is gained by this? I can see obvious downsides but how does it make anyone’s life better?

Read this and then ask yourself why the bulk of our taxes go toward the police and not healthcare or schools. Let’s get smarter with how we use our limited funds.

International audiences discovering Canadian Liberals for the first time:

Trump famously backs down to strong men but this subservient attitude does not help Canadians. There’s all sorts of excuses to be made but Carney laughed at Trump’s jokes about violating international law and murdering people and he sat idly listening to transphobic remarks. That’s not leadership.

That’s been the whole political mantra for generations. “The alternative would be worse”. I want a leader who has some moral clarity and won’t just throw people under the bus.

This display of grovelling subservience defines Mark Carney, both as a politician and as a man

So why even meet with him then? What is the point of this trip? Especially if you’re just going to sit by and let Trump spout his nonsense. He needs to show some moral character.

He ran a whole election saying “Elbows Up” and saying he’s the one to take on Trump. So stand up for what is right. Otherwise, it’s implied agreement.

Is it diplomacy or complicity? For heavens sake man, show some moral backbone and call this nonsense out. #cdnpoli

I know there’s supposed reasons but it’s pretty frustrating to see our PM laugh along about blowing up boats and murdering fishermen.

I trust PM Carney clarified to Trump that there are 10s of thousands of Canadian commercial fishermen generating billions of dollars in economic activity. #cdnpoli

This is incredible camera work

@linwoodbarclay.bsky.social I stayed up late finishing Look Both Ways. I really enjoyed this--it's the definition of a page turner. A higher body count then I'm used to but a fun read.

Are we sure this isn’t just a reboot of Left Behind?

It's not often you see a promising sentence burst into flames quite this badly.

"Canada's new government is ensuring the Canadian Armed Forces get the equipment they need, when they need it"

It'd be great if governments could put this emphasis in other departments that actually impact the daily lives of Canadians.

A Simple Plan. He lets story and character take priority over his usual visual tricks.

And I think most people don’t like it but For Love of the Game is a great baseball movie.
