I don’t want an election.

Newly unsealed Epstein records shed light on years of his financial transactions with Wall St. figures The documents are the latest in a slow release of materials tied to Epstein as public demand for accountability and transparency about Epstein has gone global.

A reminder that the #EpsteinFiles are more than a vast sex trafficking operation. They also involve an international money laundering operation that includes Russian banks, greedy corrupt billionaires & political operatives. Incredibly powerful people have shut down 🇺🇸’s gov’t to keep their secrets.

“They were careless people, … they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made"

PM Carney takes a jab at PoiLIEvre: “You know, one of the advantages of having your security clearance is you’re better informed about some of the threats [facing Canada], and I highly recommend that anyone either in a position of responsibility—or seeking it—has their security clearance.”

As we set out to catalyse unprecedented levels of investment in Canada, Japan and Canada have so much potential to collaborate more in energy and technology.

The NDP found their numbers!

Bill 201 would

- increase minimum wage to $18 over 3 years and then index it to inflation.

- Ensure tips stay with service staff.

it's been a major issue in media/SM for years now-anyone reasonable would have gotten it, simply to squash the talk

he's not qualified or safe in the role he's in, nevermind higher

11 days since he was told he had to be put to sleep instead little Stormzy is taking very delicate steps.

Billboards outside US Southern Command urge troops not to 'break the law’ in Caribbean strikes “Don’t let them make you break the law,” reads a billboard along the road to U.S. Southern Command, one of several set up by veterans.
