Almost as if Trump forgot why his people told him Mamdani was bad
Q: would you feel comfortable living in NYC under a Mamdani administration ?

TRUMP: I would. I really would.

The Conservatives just voted unanimously against a budget that includes tax cuts, increased military spending, reduction in the public service, funding and expedited approval for resource projects, and corporate welfare.

We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

Always always always remember this anytime you hear Trump speak where he recites numbers, statistics or costs: TRUMP IS INNUMERATE. He does not understand anything about numbers, stats or costs. He just makes up anything he things sounds good.

The traditional Conservative values are gone. Conspiracy theories and moral bankrupt values are now the norm for them.

Overall I'm liking what I'm seeing from Carney so far, but I wish we could have some more legitimate criticism and debate of this government's policy rather than the current dichotomy of superfans and shitposters and the constant reminder of how awful the other guy is
Toronto Harbourfront Centre is a space where people come together to share stories, create art, and build community. 
 
Budget 2025 is building strong communities, and investing to build more places like this that bring us together and strengthen the bonds we share as Canadians.

2/2. Everyone using the phrase "land swap" should please specify which Russian territory Ukraine would be getting. So far it’s a euphemism for forcing Ukraine to give things up to Russia.

Not only do we need to do everything we can to help Ukraine, we need to do it as part of a coalition of countries also doing everything they can. We need to send a message that we and our allies are united against both Russian and MAGA aggression.
“Putin meeting Trump? We’re on a precipice here! They’re using the rhetoric with Canada that Putin did pre-invasion of Ukraine! We should be doing everything to help Ukraine if we want to stop it from happening to our country!”

I must continue to insist that this is not a strong regime. It does not have the kind of pan-societal support needed to enforce Gleichshaltung. It has significant elite buy-in and a small popular coalition, but it is brittle and feeble and will collapse if pressed hard enough.
Situation on 14th St and W St. NW, with federal agents -- no specific agency identified -- pulling cars over for checks. They arrested a Black woman in this car.

BIG crowd of people shouting at police.

"Fuck you!"

The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) has released a draft standard requiring masks (like N95s) in health care settings to stop airborne infections.

There is a strong attempt to push back against this, so need your public comments to get this through: publicreview.csa.ca/Home/View/22...
