French interior Minister on Ceuta after meeting with EU counterparts "The problem isn't Schengen. Schengen is the solution. Schengen didn't let a single person from Ceuta onto the Spanish mainland. The problem is "outside interference" whipping up divisions within Europe"

I read the whole thing and I’m quite stunned how NYT focused on Trump, rumors, his desires and completely misrepresented the facts. So let’s do a factcheck, shall we? 🧵 Biden-Harris admin created ICE (Icebreaker Collaboration Effort) Pact partnership in July 2024 alongside Canada and Finland.
Trump’s Fixation on Arctic Ships Led to Billions in No-Bid Contracts
The president decided to buy 11 polar icebreakers after a game of golf with Finland’s president. Experts say it’s far from clear the United States needs so many.

1. This New York Post cover: “Thousands of 9/11 families demand Mamdani be banned from 25th-Anniversary” is a brazen lie. How do I know? I interviewed the organizer of the petition.

Nothing spells knowledge of CORRUPTION like telling your MPPs to “keep it in the strictest confidence.” Not only does elitist autocrat nepo baby Ford thinks he’s entitled to his Gravy Plane he looks like he’s buying loyalty by giving MPPs secret perks. It’s disgusting #Onpoli
Trump thinks Canada wants to negotiate a new deal We don’t. We want out. Carney said as much in Davos. We are stalling until we can severe ties without collapsing our economy These new trade deals Carney is making is our “go money” As we prepare to leave this abusive relationship
Everyone complains about the CDN HC system, the long waits, the this and that. Yes, that happens. But let's acknowledge that things also can work very well. Case in point: Family member (cancerous mass?) phoned July 10 for appt July 17. Referred, got scan 1 pm TODAY (July 23). GOT RESULTS by 7 pm.
A huge thank you to our Canadian firefighters and the help we are receiving from the Australians (400) and the EU (350). #WildFires

Flavio Volpe, C.M.@flaviovolpe.bsky.social · 2w agoCanadians have real debate on how to respond, but we are united on what this is. They are upset that we stood up for ourselves because they misunderstand our calm. We are a complicated nation worth defending. Our history books are full of that lesson. This too shall pass.

Ford throws people under the bus and lies to save his skin. Know anyone else who does this? Rhymes with DUMP?
Isaac Callan@isaaccallan.bsky.social · 2w agoNEW: Doug Ford railed against his own MPPs for claiming hotel stays in downtown Toronto, telling them they'd all have to pay it back. The thing is, it was actually the government that told them to use the perk in an email last year. #Onpoli globalnews.ca/news/1197496...

Poilievre will attack Canada He's just like Trump
clnzjay 🌱 🐶 🇨🇦@clnz.bsky.social · last yr.Carney said it best: "The Charter exists to protect Canadians from politicians who would override fundamental rights at their discretion." Poilievre’s willingness to use the notwithstanding clause should be alarming. No federal government ever has. It’s a big red flag.🚩 #CarneyForPM #CharterRights

Elias Law Group is currently litigating 80 voting and election cases in 41 states. No other law firm comes close this number of cases in the fight for free and fair elections. I am enormously proud of the ELG team for their work protecting democracy.
