PM Carney: Happy Thanksgiving, Canada

It always amazes me that, in these discussions, no weight is given to the reality that we had a global pandemic and wars that affected supply chains. Surviving wasn’t reckless spending; it was a necessity.

So you don’t want an MP or MLA representing the interests of your riding? Carney has already reduced the size of the Cabinet. So that only leaves MPs and MLAs.

Not much coverage of Israelis booing the U.S. envoy every time he mentioned Netanyahu.

Trump and Vance have the same brain disease. It makes them think they are all powerful and that might alone makes good trade deals. They forget that the best trade deals are built on trust and are designed to ensure both parties benefit.

Criticize all you want. Ridicule? Sorry but I’m way too old to find that engaging. In fact, I think it contributes to the situation we’re now seeing in the U.S. because it splinters people who are supposedly in the same side. Over and out.

It really boggles my mind how people seem to be able to willfully ignore that folks have been in the streets for Gaza for many, many years and administrations.

I shot the first photo in 2014. The 2nd in 2012.

This story is from 2008: chicago.indymedia.org/archive/news...

A photo of a group of people in a plaza in Chicago. Several are holding up lightboards with individual letters that spell the words "PEACE NOW." A person holding a Palestinian flag is on the left of the frame.

A photo shot from above of a massive amount of people marching in a protest for Gaza in the streets of Chicago. In front of the frame is a person's hand holding a flagpole, and part of another person's hand. Below is the crowd. Many are holding signs, banners, and flags. On the side are buildings.

Immigrant advocates have been thrown to the ground, pepper-sprayed, and tailed in their cars by officers in an apparent attempt to intimidate them, @caitlindickerson.bsky.social reports. One tells her: “It's never been this bad.”

Why would I assume that those who voted against Trump aren’t actively protesting his lawlessness? Most Americans I know are protesting, are writing to their representatives, are donating to resistance organizations, and are protecting their neighbours.
