1. Canada, I’ve said before that 🇨🇦’s increased commitment to #NATO & military spending, are not only justified, but would be foolish to ignore. Last night, @maddow.msnbc.com did an excellent summary of the reality of what is happening NOW in 🇺🇸. An authoritarian (even crypto neo-Nazi) state. #cdnpoli

Once again, Poilievre is a dick.
He’s not there for anybody but himself. Entitled paperboy thinks he’s above everyone else. Poilievre thinks he should be applauded just for gracing everybody with his presence. Instead, he should be listening to the people who actually live there.

Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat.

My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%.

At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year. 

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

You see, when your whole life has been a series of transactions, designed for personal gain, it’s perhaps impossible to comprehend the idea of public goods. When government has only ever been an obstacle for your personal goals, you can’t appreciate it as a system that creates things for others.

Janice Stein is a treasure. An interesting perspective on Netanyahu government, and some thought-provoking commentary and insights on Saudi Arabia's changing attitudes towards women, plus their AI initiatives.
