Majority of Canadians support Palestine recognition even if Trump objects amid trade dispute: survey A new Angus Reid Institute survey reveals that a majority of Canadians support recognizing Palestine as a state even if it complicates negotiations with the U.S.

New poll shows over two thirds of Canadians support recognizing Palestine even if it means the US punishing us for it.

A solid majority of Canadians also support retaliating in kind to all of America's economic assaults. Even if it brings on further retaliation.

Easily one of the most depressing things I've ever laid eyes on. If you needed a license to be a journalist, Acosta would lose his for this.

The world is real bad right now, but its Friday and there's new Chappell Roan music so it's not all bad.

Imagine being so credulous that you are told something as demonstrably dumb as this and believing it.

I think this may be entirely correct

The explicit plan is to ethnically cleanse Gaza with US help while the whole world watches.

That platform would get, I don't know, ~1% in a general? Incredible stuff.

I don't think "beating the CPC by adopting most of their policy positions" is the kind of Liberal government I want.

lol, nothing matters. Tariffs on the world? Stocks go up. The US enters/starts a regional conflict with a petrostate? Stocks go up.

All BMO needs is that latest update, and that debt will be sorted.

My god…

The Palestinian envoy to the UN describes Israel’s murder of children in Gaza and the Israeli envoy appears to stifle a yawn???

The Palestine envoy, shortly after, breaks down in tears at Israel’s abject cruelty and the horrors inflicted on children.

The racism of the SovCit movement is not as well documented as the pseudolegal nonsense, but it is as insidious.

Stop what you’re doing and watch this immediately.

Canadian doctors returned from Gaza and are sharing what they witnessed and lived.

They are demanding action from Mark Carney.

Their testimony is our failure.

This is a crime against humanity that I can’t believe anyone who has learned the lessons of the Holocaust would ever commit.

Newfoundland and Labrador Court of Appeal sends tort of β€œIntrusion Upon Seclusion” back into seclusion: Mount Pearl (City) v. Power, 2025 NLCA 16 - Stewart McKelvey By Joe Thorne and Danielle Harris After a brief two years of recognition in this province of a common law claim for breach of privacy, it seems its time has...

My colleague and I wrote a little something about the Court of Appeal un-recognizing a common law breach of privacy tort in this province, where there is an existing statutory cause of action.

For some reason, your link isn't working. But man, how many AI filing nightmares do we need to see before people (i) do the actual work we are paid for, or (ii) confirm the cases exist?

They've really struck upon something this season. It's so earnest, but still absolutely hilarious.

Much like their child's conception of "freedom", Republicans have a child's conception of "greatness". Soft power is for soyboys, real men have a big army that doesn't go anywhere and people die of diseases that were all but eliminated 100 years ago.

Your kids get a max of two toys and then grow up to work in the same factory as their father and grandfather screwing in tiny screws. It’s called The American Dream.
