Remember this, when voting in Canadian federal election. Cons always go after Healthcare, so that insurance companies can make a buck off privatisation. Education is also in their crosshair, since it's much easier to control a bunch of dummies. 📌 #polcan canadians.org/analysis/har...

Bill 2: CAQ's 8th use of notwithstanding clause signals dangerous 'authoritarian drift'
The CAQ government has been eroding Quebecers’ rights by constantly and way-too-casually resorting to the notwithstanding clause.

His “peace plan” is a Russian wish list which requires Ukraine to surrender huge parts of their country and remain vulnerable to future Russian invasions.

2 hours later they figure out that many Trump supporters with millions of followers are posting from other countries. Surprise!

Combien de centaine de M$ Legault nous a-t-il fait perdre dans Northvolt & sa "filière batterie"? Les projets d'usines à McMaster & Bécancour sont à l'arrêt, après avoir fait contourner les lois environmentales pour aller plus vite. Un désastre coûteux sur plusieurs plans, mais dont on parle peu.
The fall of Northvolt, Sweden's symbol of green reindustrialization
The fall of Northvolt, Sweden's symbol of green reindustrialization
On March 12, the electric battery giant shut its doors for good. Nearly 5,000 people employed at the Skelleftea gigafactory lost their jobs. As the US-based company Lyten prepares to restart production, Northvolt's downfall has cast a chill over Sweden's ambitions to reindustrialize around clean technology.

Before a single strike, several lawyers raised red flags:
• No self-defense justification
• No organized armed group attacking Americans
• No legal basis for killing civilians
These concerns were documented and ignored — they appear to have been executions.

White House blew past legal concerns in deadly strikes on drug boats
The Trump administration sidestepped skeptical lawyers across national security agencies as it pursued a military campaign against alleged narcotraffickers, officials say.
