IMO, that is part of why Carney promised to increase military spending more than what is required by NATO. He knows things that we and others (ahum) without security clearance don't. That plus other global threats. What is happening to the world!?!

Who else gets the feeling that Carney loves debating Poilievre? You can tell that he finds it easy to put PP in his place.

I am loving seeing our Democrat friends in the US uniting behind this video. Canada is cheering you on. Fix your country. You deserve to maintain your democracy.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

“The ‘Freedom Convoy’ was a foreign-funded occupation and political destabilization movement, not a grassroots stand against COVID mandates. What we saw in Ottawa was not a protest, but a full-blown occupation meant to terrorize and disrupt people’s lives.”

I spoke up about Pierre Poilievre today and got this threat on facebook. Josh Levy tells me to watch my back.
No Josh, I will keep speaking out about building a better Canada regardless of the threats you make to me or my loved ones.

Freedom of speech for me, not you.
Socialist benefits for me, not you.

Double standards. It's insanely unfair.

The present government in America is run by the MAGA regime. Here’s their strategy.

Yup, and they took those two neighbours for granted.

Dr. Hello Bonjour @hellobonjour.bsky.social · 2d

I bet there are a lot more stories like this.

Lori Sirianni @4animallife.bsky.social · 4d

I have several Canadian friends and family with dual 🇨🇦 and 🇺🇸 citizenship who're in the process of selling their homes and moving back to Canada after many years of living in the US. One is waiting for the 🇨🇦 govt to approve his 🇺🇲 wife's permanent residency application.

They're that alarmed by Trump.

The Ford government is afraid of transparency because then their many back room deals would be exposed. Parents deserve better and so do our children.

PEIPolitical 🇨🇦 @peipolitical.bsky.social · 2d

CityNews has learned the Ford government is restricting public access to school board committee meetings, directing boards under its supervision, including the TDSB, to block livestreams. No reason given. Marit Stiles calls it an attempt to silence parents & cut transparency. #cdnpoli

I guess we can say now that there are no restrictions on ICE, which is basically operating like a paramilitary organization

We're firmly into autumn in the Northern Hemisphere, so it's once again time to share one of my favourite chemistry infographics on the kaleidoscope of chemical colours found in autumn leaves! 🍂

Infographic on the chemistry of the colours of autumn leaves. Green is caused by chlorophyll, carotenoids and flavonoids give yellows, and oranges come from carotenoids, which also contribute to reds along with anthocyanins.

All things that come up must come down. So please tell me that we are at our peak of anti-intellectualism and that the pendulum is going to start swinging back towards intellectualism.
