A friendly word of advice to my friends at the CBC: if there was ever a time to include a perspective with either lived experience in BC or meaningful expertise on then legal/technical details of a west coast pipeline, it was this episode.

PM Carney: no taxpayer subsidies for American billionaires!

Donald Trump’s billionaire donors are pushing a new gas terminal on the coast of British Columbia. It would be 100% American owned – and built in Korea. BUT THEY WANT US TO PAY FOR IT.

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

A military attack on some other European country could lead to the first general European war since 1945, and perhaps to a third world war.

It is in everyone’s interest here in the West to forestall such an attack. @crof.bsky.social writes.
