PM Carney announced the agreement after two days of talks in Beijing. The deal caps Chinese EV exports to Canada at 49,000 vehicles a year, rising to about 70,000 over five years, while China slashes its canola seed tariff from 84% to roughly 15%, a huge win for Canadian farmers.

It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.

Overdose app falters as Alberta government accelerates war on supervised consumption
Launched to government fanfare on sole-source contracts, the Digital Overdose Response System app is barely used most days and has registered just 51 ambulance dispatches over four years –– around 0.14 percent of the ministry's under-reported dispatches for opioid toxicity in that period.

I swear, if an ICE agent ended up killing a 6-month-old infant, Fox News would insist that that infant would still be alive if only he complied.
Gentleman on the scene who talked to this Dad said that he asked ICE officers if he could vacate his family and they said that's fine. He loaded up the car and as soon as he put it in drive, they lit the car up with flashbangs and tear gas. The 6mo old stopped breathing and EMS had to be sent in

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable
