You know how most of the pollsters had Ms Chow and Mr. Bradford clearly running neck and neck at the very end? Seems they owe us a rather fulsome explanation. 🤷🏼🧐🤷🏼

Canada stands with Brazil. There will be a growing alliance between Canada and Brazil. The response from MAGA is the language of violence and threat. "The time has come for the wicked and cowardly to meet their rewards." Unhinged nutbars.

From Lula’s victory speech. Hard to argue. 🇧🇷 “We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. We cannot have monstrously large corporations earning millions and billions, paying no taxes to this country and trying to steer our election results.”

Kory Teneycke on rumours a Canada-U.S. trade deal is close: "They are not people who bargain in good faith or have demonstrated a respect for agreements that they themselves have signed. There are no deals, even if you get a deal."

Spanish Police battering teachers peacefully protesting for better working conditions. We need to elect leaders who will fund education AND put these thugs and their bosses in jail where they belong.

This is just pure racism. Republicans objectively are campaigning on little more than bigotry.

The American owned Sun is promoting a vigilante as the face for Canada's most multicultural and open city. This is same American owned paper that said crack-smoking Rob Ford should be elected mayor. Toronto - you're better than this. Let's get out the vote for Olivia Chow.

Wait, what! How do you spell “election interference?”

JUST IN: Trump reposts his endorsement of Bibi Netanyahu, urging Israelis to vote for Netanyahu so the war against Iran can continue. “We have to finish the job that we started!”

"Mr. Trump, who has cut U.S. aid to Ukraine by 99 percent, is sending American money to the Kremlin — and therefore to a Russian war machine that the United Nations says is killing Ukrainian civilians at a 'new horrifying level.'" www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/w...

🇨🇦 CANADA DESERVES RESPECT! For generations, American presidents recognized Canada as a trusted friend, neighbour & ally. Friendships between nations are built on mutual respect, not threats or insults. Canada has always stood proudly on its own. 🇨🇦 We are not for sale. #CanadaStrong #SheShed

It would be grand, then, if the Government of Canada would terminate any use of X/Twitter. And don't say, "Oh, we need it to get our messages out," because then you are "caught in a situation where we are reliant on one provider."

Mark Carney on what Elon Musk's throttling of Starlink means for Canada: "We do not want to be caught in a situation where we are reliant on one provider that puts Canadians at risk or compromises our sovereignty, our ability to express our values and live our values."

Hailstorms are becoming larger and more frequent, especially in the Great Plains. As the climate warms, thunderstorms will create stronger updrafts that hold hailstones in the air for longer allowing them to grow bigger — and fall harder. https://wapo.st/4yI2XIS

Fascinating, marine species. They’re in intelligence is extraordinary instead of eating them. We need to know more about them. We could take a few hints from their DNA- #BlueEarth #ProudBlue #USDemocracy #DemVoice1

Octopus DNA is so complex, scientists still don't understand it. While all other animals on earth evolve through multiple generations, octopus DNA can change while they are alive. This started the talk about octopus "alien DNA". Scientific paper below the video.

A wild story: the CEO of a US energy company whose plans were discussed during the Witkoff-Kushner-Putin negotiations resigns. Why? He learned that his company's main investor is a sanctioned Russian company, not the UAE www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...
