Donโ€™t worry! I have a long guide with plenty of alternatives.

Paris Marx@parismarx.com

The United States is taking aim at Canada once again, with a crushing new set of tariffs. Ultimately, government will need to solve this. But in the same way Canadians are avoiding US alcohol, produce, and other goods, they should get off US tech products too. Luckily, I have a guide for that.

Asked about Canadian claims that US officials added last-minute changes before talks fell apart, Trump tells CNN: "That sounds like me"

The trade genius Howard Lutnick BELIEVED CANADA DIDNโ€™T HAVE UNIONS. Yes, he actually said that. ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ And he claimed that's why auto manufacturers "moved" there. (Canada has: โœ…always had a huge auto industry, and โœ…yes has unions.) THIS is the mental wattage working on Canada-US trade๐Ÿ‘‡

We need this in London ON! The priority population for this type of program should be pregnant & postpartum individuals with active substance use/concurrent disorders. Most treatment facilities won't take pregnant people. One of the major causes of relapse & death postpartum is child apprehension!

Doug Ford is ruining Ontario.

David Hamer@davidhamer1951.bsky.social

Only in Big Dumb Doug Fordโ€™s Ontario: Province of non-stick gas pump stickers, illegible license plates, EV charging stations ripped out & reinstalled, jet planes bought & unbought, the storied beach town of Grand Bend, where epic quantities of brew are drunk, has its only Beer Store shut down. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผ

Today Doug Ford called the people of Ontario dumb and embarrassing for being upset that he bought himself a $29M private jet. Dougโ€™s true colours come out when he gets mad. There is no one with more disdain for the people of Ontario than this shambles of a man.

Doug Ford is clearly salty he didn't get to keep his plane

Pope Leo XIV: Jesus told us, blessed are the peacemakers. But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.

The US has ignored compelling evidence that Russia has been helping Iran to target US bases in the Middle East because it โ€œtrustsโ€ Vladimir Putin, according to Ukrainian president Zelenskyy. .. (cartoon Dave Granlund)

How is downtown Toronto going to handle traffic from an expanded Toronto Island Airport, a mega spa, science centre, and possible new convention centre? Iโ€™m so glad I donโ€™t live or work there anymore. Does Doug Ford look into these things? I know the answer and itโ€™s no!

Not in the best interest of the public. This decision is about maximizing developer profits.

Canada's National Observer@nationalobserver.com

Critics say the overhaul is the latest step in the Ford governmentโ€™s long-running effort to curb the influence of conservation authorities โ€” agencies that haveย pushed back against the governmentโ€™s moves to fast-track development.

This makes me sick.

Yes, commanders at US military bases and on ships are telling troops that drumph has been called upon by God to bring about the second Coming. There are news stories about this, but they are hard to find in US media.

Doug Ford needs to resign. At a time when we need more opportunities for our kids, he raises tuition and lowers education grants. Medical care is a mess. Housing is in crisis. And he is complaining about Home Depot being closed? #resignford

It is a frustrating situation when everyday the caregiver has to deal with all the stuff. Company comes and the person with dementia seems more normal. You start to question reality.

I learned something new about dementia today. I belong to a support group and I asked this question. I was shocked to learn this is normal and is called Showtime. Itโ€™s fine with me that he has a good visit with family and friends. This is why family have a hard time believing me about his dementia

Raskin: "I want the whole country to look at this. This is the attorney general of the US whose job is law enforcement. We've never had a witness who has misunderstood our rules and been unable to conform his or her conduct to our rules before. Excuse me."
