Say what you will about past Liberal and Conservative governments, they were ideologically driven. Carney just snuck in last minute and is like “Actually I’m ransacking the public coffers to fund the military, AI, energy companies and pay CEO friends obscene salaries. Thanks!”

So Carney gifted a cabinet seat to a disgraced journalist whose disgrace included Mark Carney himself. They don’t even try to hide the corruption.

Hegseth sucks. The Qataris suck. But we aren’t giving Qatar an airbase in Idaho. It’s building dorms etc. at an existing base to train them on F-15s we sold them, just like Singapore already has there. Common arrangement we have with lots of countries. This one was already being planned under Biden.

The is great debut, genre bending arty and before its time. Debbie Harry is probably the single but there’s some cool almost dub instrumentation on a surprisingly quality recording.

It’s insane that the regular Fox News watcher can go from a near decade of foreign invader coverage to we’re building a Qatari air base in Idaho and not evening blink.

The House Majority Whip is also insisting that a peaceful "No Kings" demonstration is in fact a "hate America rally" held for the "terrorist wing" of the Democratic Party.

Really feels like they're trying to manifest a violent reaction to it.

Emmer: "This is about one thing and one thing alone -- to score political points with the terrorist wing of their party, which is set to hold a hate America rally in DC next week."

Until a few years ago, it was a criminal offence in Canada to scare the Queen of England

The Carney government's new hate crime proposals have a similar aim—to protect the ruling classes from discomfort and political dissent

New hate crime law is a cover for suppressing Palestine protests ⋆ The Breach

The proposed 'Combatting Hate Act' is built on the idea that protests inspire hateful violence, and gives police the tools to crack down on expression
