The gangster nature of the Trump regime has been revealed in the Trump security doctrine. This is a government based on race hate, extremism and shakedown politics.

The Gangster Regime Revealed
Any pundit, politician or commentator who thought that Canada could make its way through this so-called rough patch in U.S.-Canadian relations and come out the other end needs to think again.

I will give you a list of inventions I want, that basically everyone wants, starting with hoverboards, a totally silent laundry folding robot, and repairing climate change. When I need someone to write e-mails for me, I promise I will let you know, via a very badly written e-mail.

We are living in the most dystopian timeline in human history right now. Imagine reaching the levels of technical expertise we have as a species and yet being stupid enough as a species to allow it all to be compromised by bad actors who prey on the gullible or cognitively impaired.

The conservatives never want to actually help anyone. They would much rather cause harm. Just like what PP is trying to do, by trying to force a vote on an Alberta pipeline that has no proponents. Cause division, harm the libs, which in turn harms Canadians. Which makes us more vulnerable to the US

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

"[Palestinians] were punished ... for almost anything: raising their heads, looking at soldiers, changing positions or even laughing inside their cells. Every few days, soldiers would force prisoners out of their cells for a 'crackdown session,' during which the prisoners were beaten mercilessly."
"Some detainees were being scalded with boiling water or burned with heated metal tools."
"Prisoners were sometimes forced to stand all day with hands raised or remain handcuffed and blindfolded for long hours – or even days."

As the history books refer to "the Irish Famine" (without mentioning who engineered the famine), I expect the history books will refer to "the collapse of societal infrastructure in Gaza leading to famine" (w/o even mentioning Israeli air attacks or drone strikes). #IsraeliTerrorism #GazaGenocide 🇵🇸
