Unfortunately, it’s not a right that Canada extends to First Nations and Indigenous folks from the US, this is because the Jay Treaty was signed between the GB and the US and as such Canadian courts have held that it was not implemented into Canadian law.

On point.

Nailed it.

I encourage that 16% to move south to Montana, or El Salvador, whatever ICE decides.

I've been reporting on federal politics since 2008. My entire career I've listened to politicians talk about using carbon capture to cut industrial emissions. Carbon capture removed 68 million tonnes over a 24-year period. The oilsands added much more, 92 million tonnes, over a single year, 2024.

Half of The Oddyssey is like: Eurylochus/Odysseus: This looks like a chill place to get provisions. Narrator: It was not a chill place to get provisions.

If you're a tourist from out of state, you don't have to register your car, but you have to register your bike. I don't plan on ever going to New Jersey but holy cripes, this dumbass idea is probably going to spread.

“make a list of public programs that have directly benefitted me. Those are good.Now let’s make a list of public programs that benefit other people. Those are bad. That’s what small government means, after all:the consolidation of wealth and power in the hands of those who already have those things”

Monsters. There’s no other appropriate word for them.

Doctorow has been arguing for this for a year, and while I don't agree with everything Doctorow says, this one is a very simple win. If you've ever thought about right to repair, this is step one to getting it back.

James Doohan wasn’t just Montgomery "Scotty" Scott, he wasa Canadian who served his country and landed on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day. Then he turned to acting, was trained by Lorne Greene and even helped develop the Klingon language. This is his story. 📸 NBC 🧵 1/12

Over the past month, New York has welcomed the world. From neighborhood watch parties to the stadium, we’ve celebrated the communities that make our city the global capital of the beautiful game. Today, we close out a historic World Cup, proud of how New Yorkers showed up every step of the way.

Spain is the first nation to hold both the men’s (2026) and women's (2023) World Cup titles at the same time 🇪🇸

I cannot overstate how much I hate when people are dicks about babies crying in public (especially airplanes). Do you think the parent is having a good time right now?? Do you think they are not aware of the situation??? Are you going to negotiate with a literal infant????

Brutal photo caption from The Guardian: “Gianni Infantino carefully explains to Donald Trump that he is not part of the Spanish national team.”

We don’t cry for you, Argentina.

Collins First Nation can’t be assured of federal help because Canada systematically discriminates against Indigenous people in too many ways to name. This time, Minister of Indigenous Services says the community “exists in a policy gap”. JFC. www.winnipegfreepress.com/canada/2026/...

Listen I will just say to any American politicians who are just watchimg their colleagues issue veiled threats at Canada for having wildfires in one of the largest boreal forests in the world you better not issue any "please buy or wine and visit our casino" notices

My favorite way to put this, as someone who studied Classical History in actual college (not just on Twitter): If you told an ancient Roman or Athenian that his culture had "more in common" with a German or Briton than with an Egyptian or Ethiopian, he'd punch you in the throat.

short version: the best version of Robin Hood ever put on screen is effectively a gay shakesperean proto-furry. oo-de-lally!

"what radicalized you?" "when i was 7 i watched a chicken sing a sad protest song in jail, a mother rabbit sacrifice her own food to feed her children, and a badger cleric get arrested for standing up to injustice."

For folks struggling to figure out how to deal with wildfire smoke, I put together some information a few years ago: apihtawikosisan.com/2023/09/miti...

Heat got you down? Try some light climate reading! Here's a snippet from Very Serious Mark Carney's book Value(s). "Actions speak louder than words. Credible climate policies should cut emissions from day one to reduce the end point in carbon concentrations." (p.296).

Same experience today, but now because of the smoke. Apologies for mentioning this, though, since worrying about climate change is a Trudeau-era fad that we’re supposed to have moved on from.

Um, Mark, honey…

MAINE CHARACTER SYNDROME

He was very good in person with his trans fans too. Growing up going to SF cons, I met many trans people before I even knew what trans meant. I gave my parents very little they needed to accept in their child, so they had lots left over for everyone else. 😉 www.thepinknews.com/2021/08/06/t...

I'm not sure I've ever seen a less likeable underdog than Paraguay

Ever hear this saying? "It's not the fire that damages the house, it's the fire department putting it out." Simply, if the fire is small enough, the fire department will put so much water on it that the water damage will exceed the damage caused by the fire up until the point it was extinguished.

Today is Moving Day in Quebec. Every year on this day, thousands of Quebec residents load up trucks and vans to move residences. The origin of Moving Date dates back centuries to the era of New France. This is the story. 📸 Montreal Gazette Archives 🧵 1/7
