Trump would rather buy potash from Belarus than Canada. Let that sink in. He wants to ship from a country which attacked Ukraine and would have to ship to the US through Russia. Trump is moving the US to being a Russian vassel state.

People ask Germans “Didn’t you know what was happening in Dachau?” I ask Americans: “Didn’t you know what was happening in the ICE detention camps?” Didn’t you know about deporting Afghans who supported our military in Afghanistan? You cannot hide from your ignominy.

Wab Kinew reacts to Donald Trump renaming Lake Ontario: "You know when a rock band is really over the hill and you see them in a casino playing some song from like 50 years ago? I think that's the part of Donald Trump's presidency we're at now."

My goodness the stupidity. In 1980, we showed that spraying pesticides by helicopter could lead to over 50% loss of the spray to the atmosphere from the recirculation of the air in the prop wash from a helicopter. We were studying Spruce Budworm Spray drift. Bad idea www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

If there are any First nations, Inuit, or Metis geoscientists in my sphere who are interested in grad school, the Indigenous Scholars Awards and Supplements Pilot Initiative is being expanded to include doctoral and postdoctoral levels. Repost! 🧪⚒️ sshrc-crsh.canada.ca/en/news/2026...

Nothing like being paid for piecework to inspire productivity. “Next!” By the way, how many people will be dumped into a cab after their surgeries? If you have no nurses and beds, serious surgeries will be forced to recover at home.

PoiLIEvre. You can’t spell his name without a lie.

In 2010, an Environics poll showed that 28% of Albertans agreed with the statement that "Western Canada gets so few benefits from being part of Canada that they might as well go it on their own." When Harper was PM. So, you know, not zero.

A sad loss for Canada. What kind of nation will we be if we choose purely economic interests over the environment? Right. Texas. Carney will have to be dragged kicking and screaming back to the COP process and stop his flatlining ECCC.

Ok and let’s get rid of RCP 2.6 because that will also never be achievable with morons in power. “What we could have had” or “Pollyanna” scenarios are also no longer relevant. Just reintroduce them in the future if we smarten up. We’ll have plenty of computing power while burning up.

Proponents should have to generate an equal amount of power and cooling from renewable energy sources. Why should the consumer face brown outs for these capitalists to get rich?

If the federal government and Telus hoped to avoid public opposition simply by renaming data centres to “AI factories,” they will be disappointed. The announced project raises more questions than answers — particularly for the residents of Vancouver, write three researchers. #vanpoli #canpoli #AI

Where is the NYSE in this insider trading? Maybe investors should pull out since they are the ones that are giving their money to the Trump Crime Fsmily.

Sorry, what did Hoover do in 1952? What did Nixon do in 1974? The hypocrisy of FBI Directors and ex-Directors avoids the history of the FBI.

Comey: “The president of the United States cannot use the Justice Department to target people because he wants to retaliate against them. We just can’t operate as a republic if that happens.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

Any normal President would not be trading… full stop.

The myopia is staring at the future though a pipe instead of hearing the winds of change in the light of day.

Facts: Cdn taxpayers bought pipeline boosting price for AB crude! Oilsands are among world’s most expensive & carbon-intensive barrels. If sector can’t compete after massive public subsidies, problem isn’t climate policy. Global capital is moving to clean energy because that’s where growth is!

And a reminder that WaPo estimates that Trump had dumped 14 years of NOAA budgets into the deserts of Iran. And now he wants 30 years of NOAA budgets as a supplemental.

Check out this fabulous infographic on the impacts of the FY27 budget request on NOAA. Kudos to its creator!! CC: @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social

The Bible says that God gave Man dominion over the fishes of the sea and birds of the air and everything that creeped over the Earth. It seems that Christians stop reading there and think that means over Women as well. But read Genesis 1:26-28 in its entirety. #Utah #Epstein

Don’t say Beelzebub three times Lauren.

Rep. Lauren Boebert weighs in on the government's release of UFO files, saying aliens are actually "fallen angels and Nephilim" from the Old Testament: "I do believe that this is more spiritual and, if you really want to go there, demonic."

Ok, SCOTUS. The gauntlet is tossed. You cannot gerrymander a Gubernatorial election unless you block districts from voting entirely. There are 36 Governors up for election/reelection this year. All have signing authority over state legislation, including redistricting. 36 battlegrounds
