I left Trump’s America last year to teach in Canada. I didn’t expect this from Canadians
During my short time here, I have encountered a shocking level of naïveté about what is happening in the United States.

‘Get the f**k off there’: MPs, Senators call on government to abandon X/Twitter following wave of ‘Grok porn’ - The Wire Report
A proliferation of sexual deepfakes on X has prompted other countries to investigate Grok, the platform’s AI software, but, so far, Ottawa remains silent.

If you haven’t done so already, please boycott US products as much as possible and not travel there (and encourage your friends/family to do the same). The Trump regime has been repeatedly threatening 🇨🇦 too, and so in return Canadians have inflicted severe financial pain by cutting travel + imports.
Elbows up in 2025: How a year of Canadian boycotts on U.S. products played out | CBC News
Here are a few of the ways Canadians tried to put more power behind their purchase and travel choices in 2025 — and how those decisions may have impacted the U.S. economy.

If you are a foreign president who commits crimes overseas, America will come get you, arrest you, and lock you up.
But if you are a US president who commits crimes here in the United States, America will give you immunity from prosecution, reelect you, and bribe you with billions of dollars.

Isn't it odd that the United States has enough money to suddenly run Venezuela, but not enough to run our own country?

Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct?
Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.

Exactly this. Big tech always overplays its hand and under delivers on value
flipside of the slop tsunami: companies like Google aren't just flooding our digital existence with AI gruel, they're actively, intentionally destroying real human-created content too, because they know that we largely still value real content and that ultimately the slop can't compete
First I read that new YouTube users are served up material that is 20% AI slop.
And now, multiple cases of legitimate YouTube creators having their content stolen and being accused themselves of copyright theft.
Like this poor guy.
YouTube is destroying itself.

I wish I could retweet this 100 times over. Nobody is coming to save us. We have to save ourselves. #ableg #abpoli
Every day, I get letters demanding that the federal govt or the GG or the LG “do something” to change or save Alberta. But the only people who can “fix” Alberta are Albertans. There is no magic constitutional genie. The responsibility is on all of us.
The UCP has made 2025 one of the darkest years for Alberta’s democracy.
Albertans can turn on the lights in 2026.
By simply being Albertan.
