Trump: "We call them the water drugs. The drugs that come in through water. They're not coming. There are no boats anymore. Frankly, there are no fishing boats. There are no boats out there period, if you want to know the truth. Does anybody go fishing anymore?"

Carney continues to sign new arms deals w/ the US, is backing Trump's "peace plan", and in this very press conference pointed to his brutal anti-immigrant, anti-refugee legislation Bill C-2 as being an example of following the US's lead on border policy, and laughed when Trump joked abt war crimes.

These seven banks have supplied Israel's genocide in Gaza to the tune of $20bn

The worst offender is Goldman Sachs. The company has underwritten more than $7bn in Israeli military bonds - directly killing Palestinians

They criticised Zionism, not Judaism. Conflating the two is one reason for the resurgence of antisemitism. Please don't contribute to this.

Max Fawcett is the Ezra Klein of Canadian political discourse

Max Fawcett @maxfawcett.bsky.social · 17h

Or, perhaps, he understands what the current political moment allows on that front and is trying to operate inside those parameters.

His predecessors did a bang-up job of announcing policies they then failed to defend/set up to fail.

I get that it's hard to fathom, but the 2x former central banker who has the president of Palantir Canada on his Council for Canada-US Relations might be more aligned with Trump than with you or me.

I genuinely don't understand why anyone believes this for a second. Every capitulation and olive branch from Carney has led to increased demands. We should not be supporting this fascist regime, and, in fact, standing up to Trump would most likely hasten his fall.

Completely missing the point.

🎃smell🎃patatas🎃 @its.small.patatas.ca · 17h

Sure yeah, not laughing at jokes about war crimes told by the person committing them is a tough decision, real grey area there, good job on having great takes

Frankly, if he was serious about tackling the other crises, climate action would help matters!

Oh, is it too hard to be elbows up? Too stressful to do the job that Carney explicitly said he was ready for?

Canada Post has a mandate to serve every address in Canada, and it is being forced to compete with companies that can decide to only serve the easiest, most profitable routes while paying subcontractors starvation wages.

Also, it's a public service. Is the fire department "unprofitable"?
