Given the trend, what do you guess are the odds of seeing military at polling places next year? At the moment I'm giving it 1:3 odds.

Just minor set backs but the path is clear and speed is critical as the courts aee by definition, slow in order to be fair

Good lessons for Canada and I'd say #canadianmedia on so called "balanced reporting" when the taken down of your country is at stake. @cbcombud.bsky.social www.thestar.com/opinion/cont... #hybridwar

Shannon Gormley: The Russians are coming, but not for Moldova. Here’s what the tiny nation can teach us about protecting our sovereignty

Even setting aside several tens of thousands of dead Ukrainians, Russia’s broader hybrid war against Europe is getting pretty hot.

POILIEVRE BRINGS THE MAGA HATE BOOK TO CANADA

Pierre Poilievre stokes the rise of white Christian nationalism - like we saw 100 years ago in Europe, for what could go wrong? Anyone remember 1930's Germany? A far right populist politician long on rallies and short on humanity said Germany was 'broken.'

Charlie Angus @charlieangus104.bsky.social · 3d

Don't be suckered in by Poilievre's campaign to launch a campaign over Canadian Christians suffering "persecution." He is running the same playbook as the AfD in Germany, Trump in the States and Farage in the UK.
My latest.

Of course Trump did, has the power and likes to win. #Poilievre is trying to shift the blame of Trump’s erratic, riddled with lies and meanness onto our credible PM. Pierre is no friend to Canada www.thestar.com/politics/fed... #tariffs #trade

Trump vows new 25% tariff on heavy trucks ahead of Carney meeting

Carney is travelling to Washington on Monday ahead of planned meetings with Trump on Tuesday.

That is how America works now - it is called coruption around the world

Why everyone suddenly cares what Pierre Poilievre thinks about ostriches

JRyerson @jryerson.bsky.social · 3d

Parroting Trump on blaming everything on Liberals is hardly what makes a real leader. No cojones #Poilievre, not even on ostriches www.thestar.com/politics/fed...
