If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

What Bad Bunny meant when he said β€˜CanadÑ’ β€” and why we’re still talking about it Bad Bunny’s naming of β€˜CanadÑ’ at the Super Bowl exposed Canada’s tendency to imagine itself as peripheral to Latin America, when its people and culture are central to its reality.

World at War: Canada Must Speak Up On the first day of the Iran war, they bombed a school and murdered 165 children, seriously injuring 95 more.

open.substack.com/pub/charliea... Canada failed the moment by accepting the claim that this is a crusade to stop a nuclear threat. It is an even more transparently bogus than the notorious weapons of mass destruction excuse used for the Iraq invasion. Contact your MP and demand they condemned this!
