Back then, wannabe dictators either declared dictatorship or staged a coup. Today wannabe dictators use “electoral autocracy” — they come to power via elections but then hollow out the electoral system through voter suppression, banning rivals from running for office, intimidation, & other tactics.

Canadian PM Mark Carney on Greenland: “We are NATO partners with Denmark.

“Our full partnership and our obligations to Article 5 and Article 2 stand. We stand fully behind those.”

Another Cambridge street painting. I think these old views of people dressed up and thronging the streets in celebration of their exams being over are a bit of an antidote to what's going on now (original sold a long time ago). Direct watercolour no predrawing.

Canada needs to take see the invasion of Venezuela for what it is - a deliberate attack on the international rules based order. We have a bandit nation on our border and we need to be ready for whatever comes next.

Venezuela - The Lesson for Canada
Make no mistake, the attack on Venezuela by the Trump regime is not about removing a rogue leader; it is a deliberate attack on international law.

U.S. media says “peace deal.” CBC shows missiles still falling and what Trump’s praise of Putin really means for Ukraine and Canada.

Pierre Poilievre has a Jan. 29 date with his party.

Its members must determine if they want him to lead the party into the next election.

Whatever they decide, the political landscape in Canada will be thrown into sharper relief in the new year. Michael Harris writes. #canpoli

@steveburgess53.bsky.social: The main thing is that by participating in the Eurovision Song Contest, we will indicate Canada is turning toward Europe and away from Trump’s America.

We do not join in on “51st State of Mind.” Our tune is more like “50 Ways to Leave Your Neighbour.” 🎤🎶

Alberta’s book ban is cultural vandalism. The Handmaid’s Tale, The Color Purple, 1984 — gone.

This is the MAGA playbook in Canada: censor, control, erase.
CBC exposed it. Without them, we’d be in the dark.

Alligator Alcatraz is the American Dachau. The first concentration camp. The Nazis initially portrayed Dachau as a proper prison with proper treatment.
Trump prefers to promote the cruelty and barbarism.

Does PM Carney doubt the resolve of Canadians?

It is one conclusion that can be drawn from the apparent softening of the his government’s stance towards the Americans, and Donald Trump in particular.
