Days to the mid-terms... and of course Trump must make himself look good... what an amateur strategy... too little too late. Nothing Trump ever says going forward can be relied upon. Hopefully no one in Canada's leadership will be suckered into giving any oxygen to the orange Felon's ambitions.

Toronto, you've got until 8pm to get your vote in! Toronto public library runs an excellent site that has responses from candidates if you don't have enough info about them: knowyourvote.to (Also not responding to *The Library* should be an immediate disqualifier imo) #TOPoli

"I'm not informed about the issues." Talk to people you trust. “The polls say...” Polls don't matter. "The candidates are all the same." No, they're not. “It doesn’t matter who wins." It matters very much to someone you care about. Polls are open until 8 pm. Please vote wisely, Toronto. #TOPoli

Trump's "executive order" IS NOT LAW! He has no LEGAL authority to interfere with the states' authority to run elections! Trump's attempted interference with states' rights is BLATANT CRIME! #usdemocracy

No way that until at least 2027 should Canada do anything that in away could US Republicans/ Maga / Trump call a win. No get out of jail card for them! "... PM Carney says there has been a “slight intensification” of talks with the United States over an unfinished trade deal...." STALL!

Gut the electoral power of the rich! "... Be a Serbia...a Brazil... a Hungary. Get your ass to the polls, drag everybody you know with you, and.. find out what... Trump sounds like... blaming the American deep state for losing to the American people." deanblundell.substack.com/p/breaking-p...

Save the CBC 🇨🇦✌️@savethecbc.bsky.social

🇨🇦 CBC reports Alberta narrowly approved 5 immigration-related referendum questions while rejecting all 4 constitutional proposals. Some measures could restrict temporary residents' access to services. Are newcomers being blamed for infrastructure and funding problems?

Given orange taco in DC, the job of American ambassador to Canada should be the worst possible, most uncomfortable assignment handed out. This American "...straw-man" so richly earned being treated like toxic scum, makes it so easy for us nice Canadians to send them all the "f**k off" message.

I guess if they pay you billions they can't possibly be an enemy... "A sanctioned Russian company run by a Putin loyalist wants ownership of American gas production, and it said so out loud, on the record, to the New York Times." deanblundell.substack.com/p/bombshell-...

Water is quickly becoming a commodity and folks like Ford and Bradford are just the type of exploiters who want to remove it from public control. Don't be fooled. Neither of theses guys is concerned about being a public service provider, they want the profits rationing the supply would generate.

Jared Kushner’s hacked iPhone revealed he promised MBS and MBZ he would push their agenda with Trump if they participated in a secret fund, with the two royals initially discussing over $10B before ultimately placing at least $2B into his accounts. Paywalled, use archive. archive.ph/FHGAt

We've learned that on the provincial stage Alberta can produce the opposite of oil... squeaky wheels. It would be grand if they could produce something more constructive.

There’s only so much you can do for a province that bases its identity and economy on a volitile and declining resource governed by international forces. #cdnpoli #ableg

Danielle wasn't serious about the proposed reforms... she was only serious about trying to remain relevant and employed.

And now the idiots who made the award will make their savings even smaller by spending resources to justify their folly.

It's not about spending too much... it's about controlling who gets to spend it and who's buddies profit... Ford leads the Con man party.

Paul Calandra has put 8 Ontario school boards under supervision for financial mismanagement so having Stan Cho - who spent thousands of dollars on Toronto hotel rooms despite living in the city - as his parliamentary assistant makes perfect sense in Doug Ford’s Ontario. 🙃

Is this the end for Kushner? Since Donald doesn't love anyone but himself, will Jared find himself in the wilderness? If so who will he be taking down with him? No doubt the list of names is long... will Jared be silenced sonehow before he spills? deanblundell.substack.com/p/breaking-t...

Greater dependence on AI etc brings with it large vulnerability. Happy to see the Russian war machinery set back lime this but the lesson here is the bigger they are, the harder they fall. Self sufficiency is a worthy goal unless you want to be someone's slave.

awaii enacted a law that could neuter Citizens United. Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum. Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics — and how they could be replicated where you live. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fP...

Americans for Tax Fairness@4taxfairness.bsky.social

Before Citizens United, the top 15 political contributors spent just $15 million on the midterm election. Now, the top 15 have spent $962 MILLION. That's up 6,400%. THIS is why our system is so rigged. We really, really have to end Citizens United and tax the rich.

I may be holding on to an unfair bias, but any guy i see has to work twice as hard, compared to others, to gain my trust, if he's wearing a suit... ie tries to look like a banker etc.. (suit=corporate uniform).
