Mark Carney on Elon Musk throttling Starlink: "I search for the right adjective to describe whoever took this decision or group of people took this decision against a country that is literally fighting for the lives of the citizens against naked aggression."

This has been a devastating weekend in Wainwright. While this tragedy continues to unfold publicly, I urge you to remember that for the families involved this is a very personal tragedy. Please remember that as you tweet and share news and updates about this event.

The same people warning about "sharia law" are the ones demanding live streamed executions, book bans, baring journalists from the White House, eroding women's rights, rounding up people in our streets, and legislating the Bible in schools, all in the name of "Christianity."

Mark Carney: "In three weeks, the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and the President of the European Council, António Costa, will be in Montreal. And that is when Canada will launch a new transformative alliance with the European Union."

Years ago, my lifelong Conservative father-in-law was holding his grandson when he said supervised consumption sites “just enable drug use.”
I replied, “That's a dumb comment to make while holding your grandson. He might not be alive if one hadn't saved my life and connected me to recovery.”
You should have seen his face when I said that. 😳
“Whoops. I didn't think that through.”
So I arranged a tour.
He met the nurses, saw the care, the detox upstairs, and the connections to recovery.
He walked in believing these places enabled addiction, he walked out understanding they save lives.
Today, he's one of their biggest supporters.
Not because he abandoned his Conservative values, but because he realized compassion, dignity and keeping people alive were never at odds with them.
He didn't just change his opinion. He became an advocate for the very people he'd once dismissed.

The idea of executions being live-streamed is absolutely sick and disgusting.
You don’t hate Pete Hegseth enough

What in the upside down land dictatorship barbarian madness is happening here?
Pete Hegseth says Americans will be able to watch a Trump-approved firing-squad execution.
If he follows through, the U.S. could join a disturbing club of countries known for public executions—including Iran, Afghanistan, and North Korea. meidasnews.com/news/hegseth-…

“If you don’t like public executions just don’t watch it” says the crowd trying to ban drag shows

Imagine claiming to follow Jesus who was publicly executed and then glorifying public executions by wanting to live stream them.

Pope Leo XIV: Someone who says 'I'm against abortion' but says 'I'm in favor of the death penalty' is not really pro-life. Someone who says that 'I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants who are in the United States,' I don't know if that's pro-life.

It's "protect the children!"
...until it comes to children in Palestine.
It's "protect the children!"
...until it comes to immigrant children.
It's "protect the children!"
...until it comes to children who need SNAP.

Was on a call with some American colleagues and the level of intense Canadian patriotism that came through from the 🇨🇦 group surprised them.
Being threatened with invasion hardens folks. As does living in a place that literally freezes your face off 1/2 the year.

The doctor who claimed that vaccines cause autism lost his medical license for faking for the study. But his lies and the damage he did to public health persist long after his paper was pulled. This is why science communication is so difficult; all it takes is one grifter.

When it comes to your children’s health, listen to doctors.
Not a president who once told Americans to inject bleach.
The American Academy of Pediatrics’ immunization recommendations have not changed.

Never forget that RFK Jr. testified in his divorce proceedings that he couldn’t afford alimony because he was so brain damaged he couldn’t hold a job.
Anyway, now he’s the Secretary of Health and Human Services.

PM Carney trolls Donald Trump: "I would like to inform you that the teleprompter has ceased to function. Unlike a certain world leader, I do not view this as a conspiracy."
Alison Southern retweeted
Instead of saying "Women slept their way to the top"
We say "Men withhold promotions until they receive sexual favors".
Because that is what it really is
