Who did this?

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.

What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

😁 We do think so highly of that man, right? Nobody would put anything past him!

Nearly $2 million of U.S. alcohol pulled from LCBO shelves could expire over next six or seven months: Bethlenfalvy Ontario’s finance minister has confirmed that there is approximately $80 million worth of U.S. booze that was pulled from LCBO shelves last winter and remains in storage today.

www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/arti... I'm not sure if I understand the point (and cost) of Ontario warehousing US booze. It'll have to be done sooner or later.

When Mark Carney sets specific goals for Canada to "diversify away" from its reliance on the US—making headlines in Canada but not the US—hear that for what it is: Close partners and allies looking elsewhere for better friends.

This is the silent way that the US loses its pointless trade war.

Plastic "doll" angel from mid 1960's bought through the Simpson's catalogue - Toronto.

For years I kept this funny little doll tree-topper, but never displayed it. Age 7 (?) I bought it for my mother with my pin money, ordered from the Simpson's catalogue. Mom actually seemed to love it, although I realize now it was a child's idea of an angel. Now I bring her out - pride of place.

" ... one of the lead investigators in the case was Emil Bove III, then a prosecutor for the Southern District of NY and later one of Trump’s personal lawyers. Trump installed Bove as a top official at the Justice Department in his 2nd term before nominating him to serve as an appeals court judge.

There is an extraordinary sense of entitlement behind the belief that there ought to be political party that aligns 100% with your own opinions.

Ontario’s ‘atrocious’ plan for cash bail may be unconstitutional Critics say it will further disadvantage marginalized individuals

ICYMI, my latest for @cba-nationalmag.bsky.social: Ontario's "atrocious" plan for cash bail may be unconstitutional #cdnlaw #cdnpoli

He's torching every shred of international good will and empathy that may still exist for decent US citizens. He's isolating them even more than his MAGAs, who clearly want this violence.

Canada is facing a human trafficking ‘epidemic,’ says survivor The Canadian Human Trafficking Hotline is experiencing a record number of calls with one survivor sharing her belief that Canada is currently in the grips of a trafficking epidemic.

"The Canadian Human Trafficking Hotline received just over 5,100 calls in 2024, an all-time high. A similar number is also expected by the end of this year"

Screenshot of a tweet by The Seattle Times on X.com stating that Indigenous actress Elaine Miles from “Northern Exposure” was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop, and agents told her that her Tribal ID was fake. Below is a close-up photo of Elaine Miles smiling.

Would this have happened to a white resident? Asking for the First Nations.

Pentagon Pete in Legal Peril Over ‘Kill Them All’ Orders A follow-up missile allegedly killed survivors of a U.S. strike on a drug boat.

How low we have sunk as a country. The US Department of Defense is now run by a rabid war criminal.

Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military.

Pure, mindless, barbarism.

Home Depot wanted holiday cheer, got a whole-ass choir calling out their partnership with ICE instead…

"Russian money is everywhere in the US, in Congress, in the right wing media, in tech, throwing gasoline on the wildfire that’s sweeping the nation. Now imagine what the landscape would look like if that money dried up."

"But we gotta invade Venezuela because of the drug trafficking!"

Good thing Canada got punished with billions in economic warfare because of 9 pounds of fentanyl. America is no longer a member state of democratic nations.

This is clear. Thanks Adam

But drugs from Canada harming Americans is the reason for imposing tariffs? Ya, no.

And it goes on.

The man is completely unraveling.

Bombing boats, threatening invasions “to stop drugs,” and now promising a full pardon to a president convicted of trafficking 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S.

This isn’t law and order.

It’s the most lawless presidency in American history.👇

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

This specific site has no flood risk, the city and TRCA did not demonstrate erosion risk, and the development would create a 15ha park that would hugely improve the ecology and hydrology of the site, which is currently a golf course

Abortion Rights in Canada are Under Attack Forced-birth groups are testing their strategy

Canada, abortion rights are under attack. The forced birthers are using the same strategies that worked in the U.S. open.substack.com/pub/vajenda/...

The method to Mark Carney’s madness The memorandum of understanding with Alberta might look like surrender. Look closer

My take on today's big announcement. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/27/o...

"Before an Afghan refugee, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, yesterday shot and seriously injured two National Guard members who had been deployed by Donald Trump to Washington, D.C., military commanders had warned that their deployment represented an easy “target of opportunity” for grievance-based violence."

A US President, folks.

Yes they are sitting ducks on the ground.
One bomb or missile strike on the runway(s) and the F35s can no longer take off or land.
They need 8,000ft minimum to take off when armed & fuelled for combat.
The Gripen needs less than 2,000ft fully loaded for landings. Less for take offs.
Roads work too.

Such cruelty followed the result of one terrible election. The right day to have watched this.

Opinion | We Can’t Diet and Exercise Our Way Out of the Next Pandemic

Imagine sitting in the NIH, contemplating the arrival of a disease like HIV, which has killed 700,000 Americans, and advising the country that “the best pandemic preparedness playbook for the United States is making America healthy again.”
