I love my country, Canada. I love our beautiful vibrant mixed ethnicity and our bedrock of Indigenous peoples.

“Do you understand who you are dealing with? This is America. Back up.” A United Nations meeting was dramatically suspended yesterday after US ambassador Mike Waltz and Cuban foreign minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla both ignored the chair’s plea for order in the chamber. The problem started when Waltz blamed Cubans for the shocking US embargoes and blockades that are causing huge suffering to the people of the island. Cuban representatives, astonished at the way Waltz blamed the victims for the crisis, in their eyes, stood up and objected, citing Rule 71, which allows listeners to raise a point of order. Ambassador Waltz responded that the Cubans didn’t like the substance of his speech, so were not raising a point of order. But when complaints continued, this caused Ambassador Waltz to lose his temper and shout “Back up! Back away. Do you understand what you’re dealing with? This is America.” . INTERNATIONAL TERRITORY The rest of the United Nations was outraged by this attitude, as the UN building is legally international territory. When Waltz refused to stop his tirade, Khalilur Rahman, chair of the 81st session, ordered that the meeting be instantly suspended. Waltz ignored him. The meeting was then resumed, but footage of the argument created a huge storm on social media. Some people in the US defended Waltz’s narrative, blaming Cubans for the suffering caused by the US embargos. But much of the commentary from the rest of the world said that the United Nations, for the safety of the delegates and the organization itself, should no longer be situated in New York. When New York was originally chosen as the site, the US pledged not to politicize US visa access to meetings—but has regularly broken the pledge, such as refusing to allow visas for Palestinians. . .

Some ask why I’m posting so much about Flavio Bolsonaro, but the answer is simple: Trump says we have no money for *our* health care, but can pay for this THUG to jet-set around our country with *our* money. You see that private jet? It’s a middle finger to every American that’s feeling these high prices right now because REPUBLICANS raised them. The government always tells you they have no money for your life, but can roll out the red carpet for a criminal illegal alien who is being investigated for money laundering in his own country. His family gets to live the movie star life, while the Republicans protecting him raise your prices to benefit the elites funding their campaigns. It’s disgraceful. Flavio needs to become a national American symbol for the right’s contempt for us, the American taxpayer. Deport Flavio! Have the last laugh and give them all the finger on Election Day!

So let me get this right: if you’re a corrupt right-wing leader who loses an election and is under investigation you get asylum? If you’re a mom and kid fleeing violence you’re not?
Defeated Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro and his family have landed in Miami after fleeing his country. This comes a day after they were granted United States visas by the Trump administration.

Every accusation they made was “projection or confession.” “Jared Kushner was allegedly paid $50 million by a foreign government to get former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson fired,” the New Republic reports. “In the new book Princes and Thieves: Jared Kushner and Mohamed bin Zayed’s Secret Plot to Remake the Middle East, author Matthew Cole reported that the United Arab Emirates paid Kushner millions to oust Tillerson, who had allegedly become extremely cozy with the Qataris.”

Leader of leaders under immense pressure……We must stand with Ukraine! USA wake up. We have a great partner…..#StandWithUkraine
To speak honestly is one of our weapons, to be open, and to be clear. Not to play games with our partners. This is my rule of thumb. There is a lot of pressure on Ukraine at the moment, and of course I have to be louder. And I will be, because it's part of our defense strategy. We are not trying to be somebody else. If I feel that dangerous things are looming over Ukraine, I have to defend my country. And I do what I can, like our soldiers on the battlefield and people who work for Ukraine. And I, the President, have to use every format of diplomacy. From an interview with The Sun. (2/3)

We are heartbroken by the loss of Jesse Adams, founder of Raincoast Dog Rescue Society, a dear friend of SPCA International, and a hero to animals. 🤍

Alex Pretti's mother: The federal government went on TV and lied about Alex. They tried to slander Alex to cover up their crime. We want to clear our son's name, and the world to understand who Alex really was. We want our son's killers brought to justice once and for all. We are begging for the Department of Justice to hold the men who murdered our son accountable for what they did.

So JD was conspiring to install Bolsonaro? The Supreme Court of Brazil is opening an investigation into Rockbridge Network, a donor group Vance co-founded in 2019. So hello Brazil, the US was blatantly interfering with your election. Time to subpoena JD to answer a few questions.

If he keeps saying things like that, it will become impossible for Canadians to pay for their own drinks in any bar in the democratic world.

Jesse Adams, an animal rescue volunteer from Canada, was killed by an attack of a Russian FPV on an evacuation vehicle near Kramatorsk. Jesse Adams was helping bring out animals to safety from the war Russia started. Deepest condolences. Eternal gratitude. 📷: the_dog_guy_

Corporate greed is Microsoft making $134 billion in profits last year, receiving $19 billion in tax breaks under Trump, paying a lower federal income tax rate than a nurse and getting rid of 60,000 workers. “Corporations will create jobs if they get tax breaks” is a total scam.

Every Texas bar has that one guy. He’s loud. He’s obnoxious. He makes all the women feel uncomfortable. He adds his drink to your tab when you’re not looking. That’s Ken Paxton — and I don’t know about y’all, but I’m done picking up his tab.

Alex Pretti's father: Our son was shot and killed by the government, federal immigration agents, on January 24th, 2026. We learned about his death from the media as we saw him being shot repeatedly in the back after helping a woman from his community. This was not a protest that Alex was at. His hands were in the air, and his face was on the ground when he was executed by ICE agents. We know exactly what our eyes saw. No one from the federal government called us on that day. But they did go on TV to tell lies about Alex. No one has called us since. No one has recanted those lies.

As you struggle to feed your families, just remember that these parasites enriched themselves off the American people.

Today, we introduced legislation to update Canada’s medical assistance in dying laws. The bill allows adults diagnosed with an incurable illness to make an advance request for MAID before losing the ability to decide.

So the "peace talks" are just a cover for the business negotiations
NEW!! U.S. and Russian teams have discussed a sweeping slate of potential energy and commercial deals, including Russian diesel sales, Lukoil’s overseas assets and a possible revival of Nord Stream gas flows to Europe, two U.S. officials informed about the talks told me 1/2
