No, we can’t. Based on how things are looking right now, that’s all we’ve got. Poilievre definitely won’t have a WAGE, the NDP aren’t going to win, and all I can hope is that if Carney doesn’t do it, we give him hell. Giving him hell will be our next however many years. 😕

Forgive me if I’m wrong, I think you might be reading this as being about Elon Musk. It’s about Mark Carney’s temporary cabinet as Prime Minister of Canada. I’m hoping he will appoint a new WAGE Minister if he is elected.

That's like saying "it's not Russia's fault" for invading Ukraine and the worst possible thing a Canadian *leader* can say when our country is under attack.

If Poilievre is making excuses for America already he'll sell us out in a heartbeat if he wins.

As I just said on radio what is most alarming about Danielle Smith tape is not the attempted collusion with a foreign government to interfere in our election it's that she said Poilievre is "in sync" with "new direction" in America which is a brutal autocracy with a crashing economy 🇨🇦 #CanadaSky

‘Breakdown of rule of law’: McGill professor cancels trips to U.S. amid immigration crackdown A McGill University political science professor says he’s cancelling work-related trips to the United States amid recent reports of foreigners being arbitrarily detained by immigration officials.

“It just doesn’t make any sense to take these risks to go south of the border. Why would we do this?”

I still have a hard time believing we live in this timeline. Look at what we have wrought.

I bought four books but wanted them all. Definitely take a look!

threads post from @ghostoflviv_: The Pentagon has reportedly ordered Politico, the New York Times and NBC News to vacate their office space in the building and will instead be inviting the New York Post, OANN, Breitbart and Huffington Post.

Confirmed by Haley Britzky, Pentagon reporter for CNN The Pentagon has informed its resident press corps that NBC, NYT, NPR, and Politico will "rotate out of the building" to give space to New York Post, Breitbart, OANN, and HuffPost. NBC, who has an entire booth w/ cameras etc.

letter from the assistant secretary of defense: MEMO FOR THE PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION SUBJECT: New Annual Media Rotation Program for Pentagon Press Corps For over a half-century, the Pentagon Press Corps has benefited from working out of individual office spaces that provide coveted and open access to some of the Department's top military and civilian leaders. Known as the Correspondents* Corridor, this office space loaned to media outlets by the Secretary of Defense stands as a tribute to the importance the Department has long placed on informing the public about the U.S. military and all it does to project peace through strength. It also honors the many correspondents who put their lives on the line, and in many cases died, while covering our finest in battle. In order to broaden access to the limited space of the Correspondents Corridor to outlets that have not previously enjoyed the privilege and joumalistic value of working from physical office space in the Pentagon, beginning February 14, 2025, the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs will implement a new Annual Media Rotation Program for those dedicated media spaces. Each year, one outlet from each press medium - print, online, television and radio - that has enjoyed working from a physical office in the Pentagon will rotate out of the building to allow a new outlet from the same medium that has not had the unique opportunity to report as a resident member of the Pentagon Press Corps. This year, the following news outlets will begin their rotation by vacating their physical office space effective Friday, February 14, 2025: Print - The New York Times TV - NBC News Radio - National Public Radio Online News - POLITICO In their place, the following outlets from each medium will be invited to move into the Correspondents Corridor workspaces formerly occupied by the above four outlets. Print - New York Post TV - One America News Network Radio - Breitbart News Network Online News - HufiPost News …

page 2 To be clear, the outlets that vacate the spaces loaned to them by the Secretary will remain as full members of the Pentagon Press Corps. They will continue to enjoy the same media access to the Pentagon and will be able to attend and cover briefings and be considered for travel with civilian and military leaders in the Department as they have previously. The only change will be giving up their physical workspaces in the building to allow new outlets to have their tum to become resident members of the Pentagon Press Corps. Thank you in advance for participating in the Pentagon Press Corps Annual Media Rotation Program. By turing over the office space loaned to you by the Secretary, you will ensure that new outlets will have the same opportunity you have enjoyed covering our nation s finest up close from office spaces inside the walls of the Pentagon. ku- John Ullyot Acting

The Real Reason Trump’s Purge of Career DOJ Officials Should Alarm You A more insidious potential threat: Trump will use the DOJ to hold onto power in future elections, as they tried and failed to do in 2020.

This is a very well done analysis and a gift to public education.

A methodical, careful dissection of what appears to be happening inside the Trump Justice Department.

These people are trying to make cishet white men be the only acceptable hires for any kind of management or supervisory position and every well-paid position requiring expertise (eg. pilot). Cishet women can ofc remain nurses/teachers because we’re ‘natural caretakers’ and that’s beneath men.

Trump signs order to send migrants to Guantanamo; White House walks back grant freeze | CBC News U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he will order the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security to prepare a migrant facility at Guantanamo Bay for as many as 30,000 migrants.

They are evil and that’s the word Democrats should use.

I laid the wreathe for Canadians murdered by Nazis in the Abbaye d'Ardennes.
Our young lie in fields all over Europe.
They fought to free others from evil.
For Elon Musk to give the fascist salute and say it's time to "get over nazi guilt" - Fuck him.
And fuck those who say Canada should bend.

Imagine if he’d added another $3B to that instead of sending everyone $200 cheques (which, by the way, covers one visit to a private nurse practitioner)?

To those interested in direct access to the words of survivors and witnesses: learn about the Fortunoff video testimony collection at Yale, and visit the physical exhibition (two more days).

Alberta's 'contrarian' COVID-19 review task force releases final report, including recommendation to halt vaccines The "contrarian"-led task force that Premier Danielle Smith wanted to review Alberta's COVID-19 pandemic response has released its final report.

Alberta is well over the line, into the absurd. Not only are they suggesting it's free choice to get vaccinated (a reasonable public policy) they are actively recommending against it, which is sure to end public funding. Public policy by FB meme. #ableg #abpoli

I ran @USAID health programs for the last 3 years. Trump’s 90 day Stop Work Order on foreign assistance does serious damage to the world and the US. Examples:🧵

I understand Albertans being upset when the rest of the country speaks about them with contempt, but I need them to understand that this is why. There is a lot of anger toward the fascist-aligned who all seem to congregate in Alberta.
