Proud Canadian, and want to stay that way…but at this time would favourably (note spelling) consider Canada joining the E.U.

If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

🚨🚨 @coe.int of Europe said yesterday that the #US formally notified it that it would leave the Group of States against Corruption, or #GRECO. Only two other countries have left GRECO before — #Russia and #Belarus. The fall of the #US on the world scene is striking. apnews.com/article/trum...

We have written a statement in support of Ghent Uni's decision to suspend Nathan Cofnas. We resist attempts to frame this as a punishment for "whistleblowing" or censorship of "controversial research". We invite all academics who share our views to sign our letter. forms.gle/qwN8xzEM5C7Q...

For a funny but depressing “incredibly stupid” example, in this here thread, Jonathan Portes asks an obvious question of someone defending the letter.

Patrick I am an Ashkenazi Jew. You are correct when you say that I am not prepared to engage with Cofnas' "empirical claims" below. Perhaps you'd explain why that makes me an opponent of academic freedom.

Ana Navarro didn’t hold back, calling it disgraceful for a president, in the middle of a war, to attack a decorated veteran while having dodged service himself. She framed it as a pattern of cruelty, unchecked impulses, and reckless rhetoric.

NEW: This new report, from BBC, is the best takedown of the insanity of Trump you will see anywhere. Calm, coherent and repeating only Trump’s own words. Devastating. Brilliant work once again from Roz Atkins. (🎥 BBC News)

It is fascinating that as Trump threatens and insults US allies to try and get them to get him out of this ridiculous strategic bind, he does not have the courage to even ask Putin politely to stop helping Iran kill American soldiers. Interesting that.

🚨DAMN‼️Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew doesn’t mince words about Trump and the conflict in Iran. Saying the quiet part out loud, this war is a distraction from the Epstein Files and Trump is “public enemy number one” when it comes to the economy. Bravo Mr Kinew, more of this please‼️

Europe must not assist the US in its war against Iran: 1. Europe must focus on helping Ukraine defeat Russia. 2. Trump has abandoned Ukraine & gone over to Russia. 3. The Israeli-US war against Iran is a war of choice. 4. Rubio: Israel compelled the US to join. /1

Hey Canada, can we (with Mexico) get our act together for inviting the world to come here and Mexico for the World Cup? We don’t have all the games, but we have lots and for the rest we could plan larger fan zones. Big parties. For all those folks who don’t want to go to the U.S.

Why is the world treating the symptoms and not focused on the disease? One man should not control the worlds economy. How are leaders everywhere allowing this to happen and spending time appeasing him to “negotiate” instead of standing together against this man’s insanity?

We were lucky to have this guy in a position of authority during Brexit, doing what he could to limit the damage. Canadians would be lucky to get him as prime minister. Let much the perfect candidate for this moment.

Subaru assembles many models in Indiana for the North American market. As of today, any of those vehicles destined for Canada just became 25% more expensive.

The crawling for Trump must end. Zelenskyy is the only one so far that has had the guts to stand up to Trump. If we start factoring in what Trump might think about this or that before we discuss things we are in as much trouble as the Americans.

Watching old reruns of The Waltons and can’t help thinking that the show could never be made today. Too much decency. John Boy would be seen as a woke libtard and probably swatted.

This is not funny anymore. Canada is not for sale, rent or for easy taking. As the child of a Warsaw uprising survivor, and Soviet deportee during World War II, this is deeply disturbing and distressing. Stop
