Massive new clean energy projects. Stronger infrastructure. Supporting rural and northern communities. Good to meet with Premier Wakeham today in Ottawa. Together we’re building Newfoundland and Labrador strong, and Canada strong for all.

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Mark Carney on abolishing the Indian Act: "I'm committed to a process that moves Canada beyond the Indian Act."

Free speech when I control the speech

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Lula defeats Musk, Zuckerberg and Bolsanaro!

In August, President Trump announced he had signed the “biggest oil deal in world history.” ProPublica reviewed the deal and found it gives a small group of people largely handpicked by the Trump administration long-term control of the enterprise.

Nobody's shocked that Jason Miller is the one posting Bolsonaro's refusal to concede. Trumpworld isn't just watching Brazil, they're coordinating. Same playbook, same people, different country. The authoritarian network is global, and it's poison.

"The merging of tech and MAGA networks created a frenzy of open political corruption unlike anything in American history." @thewalrus.ca published The Nerd Reich's introduction, which charts tech fascism's rise to power under Trump/Thiel. paywall-free thewalrus.ca/billionaire-...

From the playground to the podium, we’re giving more kids the chance to get involved in sport — and making sure Team Canada athletes have what they need to compete and win.

Trends in Canadian tourism to the US vs. rest of world www.apricitas.io/p/how-canada...

Americans have now spent $142 billion more on gasoline and diesel since March 1, enough to buy 361,000 homes at the September median price, enough to house over 900,000 people, due to the US war on Iran and other factors like limited output from Russia

Veles is a Slavic god of the underworld.

Gary Mason on election interference: "There's one set of rules for them, and another set of rules for everybody else. And people are fed up with it. The rest of the world is fed up with it. And that's why the U.S. has become a pariah country. People don't like them. Canadians don't like them."

For the Americans the war is just an element of a grift; they are, sadly, not negotiators in any sense, just men seeking to make more money from the bloodshed their actions enable.

Wow. I didn’t realize how small Bill Maher’s audience is. He has 491K views per show? We topped that from my kitchen table with $49 mics. HBO has got to be losing money on him.

Our new Strategic Partnership with Türkiye will unlock better access to a market of more than 85 million people. That means major new opportunities for our workers and businesses.

In less than two weeks, Washington sanctioned the court prosecuting Putin, waived its own sanctions on Russia, and called Putin a humanitarian. “None of the above is the word or deed of an ally,” argues Hans Petter Midttun. euromaidanpress.com/2026/10/24/u...

CANADA 🇨🇦 FOR THE WIN How about the Canadian women’s rugby team. Another triumphant victory over England. Incredible scenes in Ottawa. It’s the first time since 2016 that the English rugby women have lost back-to-back matches. www.cbc.ca/sports/rugby...

Techbro misogynists. Peter Thiel: “the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women—two constituencies that are notoriously tough for libertarians—have rendered the notion of ‘capitalist democracy’ into an oxymoron." (h/t to @gilduran.com, Nerd Reich)

BREAKING NEWS FOR HONORARY CANADIANS - peacelovecanada.ca/collections/...

More than 80 percent of Americans view Russian President Vladimir Putin unfavorably, and only 4 percent favor Russia in the war in Ukraine. As columnist @fridaghitis.bsky.social writes, that makes President Donald Trump’s turn toward Moscow a political liability at home.

More than 40 farmers and agricultural industry groups are warning Washington leaders that the Trump administration’s crackdown on immigration is affecting the nation’s food supply, hurting farmers and risking higher grocery prices. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

But China…

My exchange with a former top Trump adviser who says it is totally "inappropriate" & "irresponsible" to use the word fascist when talking about Trump. Then I reminded him of his own use of the word. Watch/enjoy/share: (Full 'Head to Head' show with Steve Cortes: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLJV...)

This is appalling, illegal, immoral, and 500 other things, by a private citizen who is not even in the same universe as the chain of command.

Mark Carney on Elon Musk throttling Starlink: "I search for the right adjective to describe whoever took this decision or group of people took this decision against a country that is literally fighting for the lives of the citizens against naked aggression."

Mark Carney on whether Republicans losing the midterms could lead to more tariffs: "Personally, I don't see that coming to pass. I'll observe that there have been a very broad range of justification for US tariffs, and there's almost an industry to create justifications for them."

Mark Carney on preparing for the possibility of a U.S. invasion: "The president of the United States is under no illusions. It's absolutely clear where I stand, where Canada stands, where Canadian stands. We'll never be the 51st state."

New markets. Stronger defence. Greater energy security. We’re forging a new Canada–Türkiye Strategic Partnership.

Allowing one unelected man to have control over crucial aspects of the US military, allied militaries, the US space program, and so many other aspects of human life is absolutely insane. We were stupid to allow this to happen and it must be fixed ASAP.
