Canada obeyed in advance and became a willing participant in the fascist project by militarizing the border and re-upping the drug war, thus undermining our own sovereignty. of course the tariffs will be imposed "soon"
U.S. President Donald Trump's reason for slapping tariffs on Canadian imports is because he says fentanyl is "pouring" across the border. But he is misrepresenting data about drug seizures and their links to Canada, a Globe investigation finds

Trump’s White House is using misleading data about drug seizures and their links to Canada, a Globe investigation finds
Some fentanyl seizures attributed to the ‘northern border’ had nothing to do with Canada and were traced to Mexico

While watching that horrifying, globe-shifting exchange with Zelenkskyy, I couldn't help but think about what a deliberately staged reality-TV moment it was, with two people ganging up on one and screaming a classic, totally petulant reality-TV accusation: They hadn't been thanked enough.

We're 5(?) days out from the last snowfall and major N-S bikeway is still like this. With 2 daycares and 2 workplaces to get to, we depend on car and bike for pickup/drop off.
Is this according to plan or was this just missed?

The destruction of USAID looks to be both diabolically cruel and a monumental own goal.

As the new Sen̓áḵw goes up, a scholar looks back at how Vancouver coveted the urban reserve, how an AG coerced an illegal sale in 1913, and how the displacement of Sḵwx̱wú7mesh people sparked a political debate on how colonization should be packaged more nicely. @thetyee.ca

Air pollution in Paris as they've rolled out their world class bike network and cut cars on their streets.

An active transport network not only makes our streets safer, it makes our air cleaner! Vancouver used to be a world leader too - let's get back on track.
