Looks as full as ours but far better organized and cleaner. May I invite you to holiday on a Gulf Island -- only a modest non-monetary charge? Of course, you'll have sleep on the couch, but that's a minor inconvenience, right?

I am immensely proud of the Canadian women's hockey team who played a stupendous game against the USA and while the Americans won in overtime, the Canucks fought hard. Canada is proud of you.

Goddamn.

Canada is even cutting the U.S. out of the loop on defense spending. That is a whole lot of money Trump just lost for his country.

YouTube video by Senator Paula Simons It's time to make an X-it: Senator Simons questions the Canadian government's continued use of X

I had the opportunity to rise during Senate Question Period this week, to ask about the Canadian government's continued commitment to using X for official communications - and about their failure to use sites such as Bluesky and Mastodon. What do you think? #cdnpoli #Canada #Grok #X #Bluesky

Private Chains, Public Harm How Supply Networks Fuel ICE Operations

New at Can We Still Govern: One aspect of ICE that is not discussed much is how dependent it is on private supply chains, including foreign companies. That provides an opportunity to name-and-shame firms providing its services.

Shame on the IOC for this awful action. And may the #StreisandEffect ensure that this Ukrainian athleteโ€™s message spreads 10 times as far because of this hamfisted attempt at censorship.
