It is absolutely unavoidable for someone who wants to be the PM of Canada to avoid a security clearance check given the new revelations about Modi. @PierrePoilievre MUST undergo the process to assure Canadians of his allegiances. @CPC_HQ must force him if need be.

Drove to Edmonton to sign the #ForeverCanadian petition this morning
I thought I would be the only one there as it was a Monday morning
Boy, was I wrong
It was busy
It's seems that I'm not the only Canadian in Alberta

Great idea. Lovable is interesting because of how shadcn is configured. When I use Claude code, it struggles with default padding and spacing values that make design sense. I set up a Miro MCP server and trained it to not overlap or stack post it notes tightly, but leave space between.

A Treatise on AI Chatbots Undermining the Enlightenment On chatbot sycophancy, passivity, and the case for more intellectually challenging companions

I've been trying to articulate why the fawning, complimentary responses from AI chatbots feel so insidious to me. I've finally figured out how to explain it.

1. Canada, I’ve said before that 🇨🇦’s increased commitment to #NATO & military spending, are not only justified, but would be foolish to ignore. Last night, @maddow.msnbc.com did an excellent summary of the reality of what is happening NOW in 🇺🇸. An authoritarian (even crypto neo-Nazi) state. #cdnpoli

And saddled us with a mountain of debt:
“Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin reduced the national debt by $90 billion and left a budgetary surplus of $14 billion. Harper's six deficits added $150 billion to the national debt.”

Keep calm and buy Canadian.

Canada: Walk away from negotiations. Don't retaliate. Diversify. Find new markets. Buy European military equipment. Reinstate the digital services tax. Let Americans pay more for the things they want from us. Keep up the public boycott. Welcome American refugee talent. Be Canadian. #cdnpoli #USpoli

Donald Trump signs executive order hiking tariffs to 35% on some Canadian goods The White House confirmed that Canadian goods which don’t comply with the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement will jump from 25 per cent to 35 per cent at midnight Thursday night.

In exchange for less than nothing, Canada has to date:
-spent $1.3 billion to address a non-existent fentanyl border issue;
-introduced Trump-friendly border legislation;
-sacrificed the Digital Services Tax, at a cost of $1.4 billion/year.
It's almost as if the lesson is: appeasement doesn't work.

World on cusp of new era as renewables rise, UN chief says António Guterres says ‘sun is rising on a clean energy age’ as 90% of renewable power projects cheaper than fossil fuels

Solar power is about 41% cheaper than the lowest-cost fossil fuel alternative, and onshore wind generation is less than half the price of fossil fuels www.nationalobserver.com/2025/07/30/n...

The Canada-UK-France alliance is exciting, healing, and hopeful. Add the balance of Europe and there's a strong alternate universe to American dominance and China influence. Someone needs to stand for the rule of law, diplomacy, and human rights

Canada plans to recognize Palestinian state in September, Carney says | CBC News Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada will recognize a Palestinian state in September if the West Bank's governing body agrees to certain conditions.

🚨 Massive news 🚨

Canada follows France and UK in announcing it will recognize Palestine as a state in September.

It should - must - do so unconditionally.

There’s more work to do.

Keep the pressure up. Let’s push Canada on the right side of history. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Academically speaking, when can we reinstitute draw and quartering for traitors? Does Canada have no teeth, none, to lay down the consequences for idiots who want to sell us out to US interests?

How did Alberta decide what books were 'inappropriate' in its new school policy? By referencing lists of books banned in the U.S. and searching for the same titles in the province's public school libraries. Full story here:

Dan Savage on blue America in the age of Trump Dan Savage joins me on Volts to discuss how NIMBY-captured city leadership is failing Democrats — and why making cities better is the key to building the party’s future.

Maybe the blue cities, which generate all the cultural & economic value in this country, should just spend all that value they create on themselves, and make cities real nice, and let the rural areas that hate & shit on cities every day fend for themselves. What a thought.

Danielle Smith gets caught taking hockey tickets & meddling in medical contracts, so diverts attention with threats of breaking with Canada. Doesn't go well so diverts again with coal mining threat. Goes very badly, so diverts once more with Covid vaccine denials. See how this works? #ABpoli

Men impersonating police shooting Democratic lawmakers. Men impersonating ICE kidnapping women & children. Immigration “officers” storming a church.“The whole country is our property.” When is enough enough?

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

This is what autocracy looks like.

The unprovoked assault of @padilla.senate.gov is exactly why millions are taking to the streets on Saturday, June 14. It’s cruel, unacceptable, and un-American. We deserve better.

ICE raided Los Angeles elementary schools in an attempt to kidnap small children. They hid their identities, claimed they weren't ICE, & lied to school authorities that they had "permission" from the parents to take the children out. School officials luckily didn't fall for it. #cdnpoli

In shocking footage of Trump in 2020 that is now going viral, Trump says it’s against the law for a president to call in the National Guard on his own: “We can't call in the National Guard unless we're requested by a governor.” #cdnpoli

Seems like yesterday governor Gavin Newsom invited Canadians to come down and enjoy California and ignore the overblown concerns about Trump. Thanks but no thanks. #CanadaStrong #cdnpoli

Greetings! A large immigration operation and subsequent protest in Paramount, CA has led to a large amount of gas and “less lethal” munitions. Situation ongoing. Will update as I can.
