Should resign or will need to?

"Canada needs to pick a lane as the global order fractures between #PetroStates willing to defend oil dominance through force & #ElectroStates building power through #electrification, renewables & clean industry. Trump's war, openly framed as an oil play, signals return to naked resource militarism"

The Minneapolis Shooting Demands a Real Investigation (w/ Andrew Weissmann) Sarah Longwell is joined by Andrew Weissmann for his reaction to the second killing of a civilian in Minnesota by federal agents.

The Sacrifice of the Danes After September 11, Denmark fought alongside its ally. The families of fallen soldiers have a message for Trump.

“We have done so much for America”: Denmark fought alongside the U.S. in Afghanistan. Now, as Trump eyes Greenland, the families of fallen soldiers have a message for him, @isaacstanleybecker.bsky.social reports:

Four Oglala detainees located, three still in ICE custody - ICT The four Lakota detainees were reportedly sent to a former concentration camp used during the Dakota Wars

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.

Why has the TDSB supervisor rescinded a class size cap? Trustees voted last March to cap class sizes in grades 4 to 8 at a maximum of 32 students. The TDSB’s supervisor rescinded that directive

Trustees at TDSB won't make cuts, fire the Trustees.
Trustees at TDSB won't allow indiscriminate class size increase hire a pal that will.
Doug Ford's Ontario.
Doug Ford's disdain for education.

What Happens to TDSB’s $20 Billion Worth of Land Under Provincial Supervision? | The Local The TDSB is one of Toronto’s largest landowners. When the province took over the board, it also took over its subsidiary that manages its properties—and it’s not saying what’s next.

With Bill 33 rammed thru the Ontario Legislature by Ford w/o public input and shortened debate its a good time to remember the TSBB has $10 of Billions in land.
Doug's friends crave land.
