We don't punish them for bad things they do on land, but we'll never know what's going on under the ocean, so that's all fine. Why would they worry? "Canada's worst environmental disaster" hasn't resulted in any charges, & taxpayers paid for the cleanup. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_P...

"The podium was there. The press wasn’t. Premier Doug Ford has increasingly been attending what appear to be government announcements without inviting reporters. A review by The Trillium has found at least 5 examples since mid-May, when this practice appeared to become more frequent." 👀 #OnPoli

I was in the grocery store yesterday, buying South African lemons, because I refuse to buy American produce. I vividly remember the days when Canadians boycotted South African fruit and wine, to protest apartheid. Now, the world’s turned upside down.

It's a fair question to ask what, exactly, our government is actually elbows up over. Each week seems to bring at least one embarrassing concession. If we can't defend the independence of a Canadian judge on the ICC, the Davos speech looks more and more like cashing cheques we can't write.
Winnipeg Free Press@winnipegfreepress.com · 4h agoOTTAWA – Prime Minister Mark Carney said Wednesday that Canada’s support for the International Criminal Court is “unequivocal” but he stopped short of criticizing U.S. President Donald Trump’s sanctioning of a Canadian judge.

Coyne's talking about healthcare here, but the second paragraph is the core political fact in Canada for the foreseeable future. Everything else is either directly downstream or significantly constrained by it.

On a private call, Todd Blanche said his goal was to make the "Dobbs decision permanent in every single state." This isn’t just a confirmation vote anymore—it’s a roll-call vote on which Senators endorse BANNING abortion in ALL 50 states. I’m voting NO.

People are furious with ultra rich, powerful elites. The social contract has been broken. People who work for a wage or salary (not a dividend or bonus) just can’t make the household math make sense. And we’re looking up at the unlimited wealth of the 1% and we are pissed.

El-Sayed: "We've been talking about an illegal apartheid regime for a very very long time, and that supersedes Netanyahu itself. So I just think we need to treat Israel the way we would treat any other country that behaved the way Israel is behaving."
Since industrial logging began more than a century ago, most of Vancouver Island’s productive old-growth forests — those capable of growing the large trees characteristic of the island’s rainforests — have been cut. About 20 per cent of those forests remain.
