Every time you speak up - and every time you don't - there are people watching and learning about you and the world you help create.

It was the most obvious explanation. And Detroit will pay for it.

Canada is the target but it is too easily forgotten how these policies hurt Americans, too.

Courage is largely a product of empathy, which they deride as a weakness.

Tell the Prime Minister: Protect Canada’s anti-greenwashing rules - CAPE Send a message to the Prime Minister to protect and strengthen Canada’s anti-greenwashing rules instead of dismantling them.

Canada’s anti-greenwashing rules protect our health, but they’re under threat.

Send a message to Ottawa: don’t give fossil fuel companies the license to lie to us. Choose truth, health and transparency instead.

"When your movement’s willingness to defend your country is lower than the willingness from supporters of a literal separatist party, you don’t get to claim the mantle of patriotism and national pride."

Stop telling yourselves he wants Greenland for β€œnational security” reasons, that he invaded Venezuela as a law enforcement action, that he’s threatening to annex Canada as an β€œart of the deal” bargaining tactic etc, none of this is the product of a rational or healthy mind

Indeed. This is not β€œTrump’s attempt to remake the world order” or whatever. It’s an unusually spoiled and malevolent toddler somehow entrusted with the world’s most powerful military and economy lashing out.

I really cannot grasp how the EA was not warranted. Every other layer of gov't had failed to apply the rule of law, the only mechanism for the feds to take it on was with the EA.

They proved it was required, as soon as they acted on the EA, rule of law was once again enforced & applied. πŸ€ͺ

In an interview yesterday with Reuters, President Trump boasted that he has accomplished so much that β€œwhen you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election.”

The question this poll raises for me is whether or not Mark Carney is aligned with Liberal voters on this issue

I pause here to note I’ve been unable to get any official response from the Government of Canada for *two full days* about whether or not Canada is deploying troops to Greenland alongside NATO allies as part of Operation Arctic Endurance

Thanks to all those Americans who are putting up a stiff resistance against Trump and his cadre of creeps and criminals.
Many of you probably feel unseen and powerless. This Canadian sees you and knows you have the power to do what's right.

Jeff Ballingall being connected to both the pro-CBC and anti-CBC campaigns at the same time sounds about right

"We stand with Ukraine, we stand with Crimea, our closest partnership is with Russia, and we'll work with everybody to make sure we move forward together."

See how stupid this sounds?

Crockett: "Everyone wants to talk about how Maduro was illegitimate. As we sit here on January 6, I do want to be clear: somebody else was trying to be a Maduro of the United States. Somebody else wanted to do the exact same thing. The difference is Maduro was successful."

It is maybe helpful to understand that all of the political actors in Venezuela are problematic for different reasons

That is going to be exceptionally hard and the temptation is either to pretend the US realignment isn’t happening or to wait and hope it course corrects. This would be a serious mistake.

Europe and Canada need to move carefully to avoid creating further dangers, but they need to decouple from the US in areas like defence planning, intelligence sharing, and defence procurement.

There are many, many people still viewing world events like today's through an ideological prism, as if the Trump regime has coherent or principled worldviews.

The sane among us realize Trump could just as easily "capture" the Canadian Prime Minister next month, on a whim.

Keep coming back to this.

I understand why many world leaders are issuing cautious, measured statements

But evidently, their real reactions were more like β€œWTF DEAR GOD THIS IS MAD”

I worry measured statements tell populations that the US is behaving normally

Hume got this right in the *History of England*. The Crusades were a war between civilization and barbarismβ€”in which the Christian marauders were the barbarians.
