In a shifting global trade landscape, Canada’s new government is focused on what we can control.

We’re going to double our non-US exports over the next decade — to secure new opportunities for Canadian businesses, and create tens of thousands of new careers for Canadian workers.

Happy Obama Appreciation Day

Horrifying

Michael O’Brien MD-I’m sure this has already been said, but throwing yourself a $92 million military parade while cutting healthcare resources for veterans has to be a golden ticket straight to the darkest depths of hell, right?

What is so hard to understand about this

Not to mention the mass murder being committed by Putin

we need to spend more time with @repdangoldman.bsky.social's clip.

not a single penny toward disaster relief but TONS OF YOUR CASH to "protect" drumpf's golf habit

Trump seems appreciably older to me in recent appearances than even a few months ago.

The Soo is ready to vote #CanadaStrong — and they were out in full force today at Aurora’s Pizza and Spaghetti House.
 
On Monday, let’s make it happen.

Mark Carney shakes hands with a man at a restaurant in Markham, Ontario.

Dropped in on dim sum today in Markham. The best part of this campaign has been meeting Canadians in their communities — and hearing how excited they are about our future. #CanadaStrong

This is what a rigged economy looks like:

In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker.

In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker.

This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker.

That has got to change.

It’s time to secure our sovereignty and our economy.

My plan will support our workers in the face of President Trump’s tariffs, rebuild the Canadian Armed Forces, and keep our communities safe from gun violence.

This tariff fiasco is crazy on so many levels. So @hankgreen.bsky.social decided to rank them.

As much as there is to laugh at, stay till the end, because he does a good job breaking down why this is so serious.

Everything is fine. Don’t look here. Or here.

EAST COAST: TUNE IN NOW TO @cbsnews.com @60minutes.bsky.social THE PRISONERS – The Trump admin says they are all violent gang members and terrorists. But after obtaining internal government documents, 60 MINUTES could find no criminal records for most of the prisoners. #FreeAndry #JusticeforAndry

Tonight we learned that it was indeed Andry, the gay man sent to El Salvador because of his “mom” and “dad” tattoos, who an American journalist saw sobbing as guards slapped him repeatedly and shaved his head.

He is an innocent. And Trump sent him to a torture prison.

Bring them back!

Maybe it will give some courage or incentive for Democrats, and some sympathetic Republicans, in the government to fight back?

Don’t go there!

Yesterday we marched in with this band with @indivisiblepgc.bsky.social. It was fun, uplifting and honestly comforting to see so many people out. You don’t feel alone when you’re surrounded by 100,000+ of other Americans who feel the same as you.

I think this is a brilliant framing of this issue. If the government can send people to a third world country to a lifetime of involuntary servitude, that is slavery. Query whether this meets the “jurisdiction” requirement of the 13th Amendment (the officials sending them are!)

Democratic leadership: you have the people’s mandate. Today showed that. We got your back. FIGHT.

Article title: Agenda Seeding: How 1960s Black Protests Moved Elites, Public Opinion and Voting Article Abstract How do stigmatized minorities advance agendas when confronted with hostile majorities? Elite theories of influence posit marginal groups exert little power. I propose the concept of agenda seeding to describe how activists use methods like disruption to capture the attention of media and overcome political asymmetries. Further, I hypothesize protest tactics influence how news organizations frame demands. Evaluating black-led protests between 1960 and 1972, I find nonviolent activism, particularly when met with state or vigilante repression, drove media coverage, framing, congressional speech, and public opinion on civil rights. Counties proximate to nonviolent protests saw presidential Democratic vote share increase 1.6–2.5%. Protester-initiated violence, by contrast, helped move news agendas, frames, elite discourse, and public concern toward “social control.” In 1968, using rainfall as an instrument, I find violent protests likely caused a 1.5–7.9% shift among whites toward Republicans and tipped the election. Elites may dominate political communication but hold no monopoly.

I’ve been studying civil rights protests for 20 years. With new mobilization against Trump’s agenda, I’m sharing a thread summarizing my research on how nonviolent & violent actions by 1960s activists and police influenced media, elites, public opinion & voters. 1/ www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
