What, in your opinion, is the US government?
IMO the Canadian government is a collection of PNs for various oil and gas and mining companies.

The Trump regime is blocking release of the Epstein files after promising their release.
It's giving preferential treatment to child molester Ghislaine Maxwell in hopes she won't reveal Trump's connection to the scandal.

This should say that the lying, bullying US President was unable to strong-arm Canada into agreeing to a bad deal & so Americans will pay more.

We still have a small-c conservative PM, which isn't great, but at least it's not PP.
He went out on a real low note, but I think people still hold him at least a few tiers of respect above Trump. Also, his final weeks in office helped prevent a Conservative gov in Canada so he earned back a ton of respect at the last moment

NBC News: "The grim reality of Gaza's hunger crisis appears to be shifting U.S. public opinion."
But will it result in action? Meanwhile civilians are starving and under attack.

Using bulldozers and heavy machinery, the Israeli army destroyed the storage warehouses and infrastructure where essential equipment, seed materials, and tools for indigenous seed reproduction were kept. This is not just an attack on a building-its an attack on Palestinian food sovereignty, biodiversity and cultural memory.
Israel destroyed a Palestinian seed bank today. This is such a specific kind of evil, targeting literal hope for the future. Attempting to further alienate Palestinians from their home and land. So much destroyed just for the sake of destroying. It's awful.

So, yes, fuck Hamas. And also fuck the people who are starving children to death. Children.

Instead of letting platforms like Twitter or TikTok control what you see based on engagement metrics meant to prolong your time on the platform and subject you to endless ads, you can subscribe only to the sources and writers you want to read. Unlike enshittified social networks, your RSS feed will give you exactly what you signed up to read โ no promoted posts, no algorithmic deboosting for posts that dare to link to articles, no ragebait from people you donโt follow. RSS offers readers and writers a path away from unreliable, manipulative, and hostile platforms and intermediaries. In a media landscape dominated by algorithmic feeds that aim to manipulate and extract, sometimes the most radical thing you can do is choose to read what you want, when you want, without anyone watching over your shoulder.
