Trade between Canada and Angola is growing fast, with Canadian exports more than doubling last year.
President Lourenço and I are building on that — by deepening our collaboration in mining and critical minerals and expanding opportunities for greater investment between Canada and Angola.

The fat dying pedophile is taking a break from destroying his own country by lecturing Canada on how to run ours. The fucking audacity of this incompetent, racist, narcissistic asshole thinking Canada needs advice from the man turning America into a global punchline.

“My message is: let’s cool down. Putin is playing with our fears.” With mounting speculation about possible Russian action around the Baltics, Estonia’s Foreign Minister @Tsahkna is telling allies not to panic. “Putin wants to create panic,” he says. “We need to be strong, calm.”

We roll out the red carpet for Putin and Xi while we shit on our closest allies daily. The American government under Trump and his cultist Republican Party is a disgrace.

This sounds like Zelensky’s answer to Trump’s demand Ukraine stop striking Russian diesel infrastructure:
“For the first time in Russia’s history, we now hear that its pride, its oil industry, is running out of fumes,” Zelensky said. “Our target is Russia’s ability to finance this war, to drag it out, to make it more brutal and more destructive. Russia’s finances and Russia’s production are what must be stopped if Putin is to be stopped.”

Things we like to see: the House of Commons discussing parole reform.
This is a priority for us, our members and the families we work with.
It doesn't matter who delivers these changes. @FrankCaputoKTN, @ArpanKhanna, @rubysahotalib, @gary_srp, we just need change. Now.
Everyone's focus should be on prioritizing legislation that respects victims, including the families of slain police officers.

On Sunday night far right kooks on social media were quick to blame Muslims for the appalling Belleville Synagogue attack.
But it appears to have been one of their own.
One reason that antisemitism is history’s most durable and pernicious hatred is that it spans different historical eras, different societies and religions, and radically different political currents.
Whether it comes from the far right, the far right, Salafi extremists, or anywhere else, decent people must unite to crush this ancient hatred.

All white guys, INCELS, former Military, radicalized by Vaccine Disinformation and alt-right publications and fake news orgs like @RebelNewsOnline and @TheTorontoSun.
That rarely makes it into their headlines.

Ukraine’s FM Sybiha to Lavrov: Three questions you cannot answer.
Why won’t Putin meet Zelenskyy?
Why did tens of thousands of Russians die in August for a few km²?
You wanted Kyiv in three days. Four years later, why is Moscow burning?

51 countries are united today in our support for Ukraine at the UN General Assembly.
Since March 2025, Ukraine has agreed to a full, immediate and unconditional ceasefire. We call on Russia to finally do the same.
Ukraine wants peace. We want peace. Russia must stop its aggression, accept a ceasefire, and engage meaningfully in negotiations towards a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in accordance with international law.

🇮🇪🚇 Mayor Mamdani and Ireland’s prime minister, Micheál Martin, took turns calling numbers during a lively game of bingo at the Irish Center. Then they rode the G train to Classon Avenue, a fun nod to the Irish pub tradition of “splitting the G!” 🍺😂 New Yorkers Love Mamdani! – at New York, NY
