I have quite literally heard this from every single Prime Minister in every meeting and policy room going back to when I first arrived in Ottawa in early 2000s. Can someone explain to me how we keep doling out funding for safe drinking water but no one on FN reserves ever seems have any?
"Access to safe drinking water is an internationally recognized human right." @MarkJCarney is investing over $12B in First Nations communities, targeting critical infrastructure on reserves: - $3.5B for education - $4B for affordable housing - $4.5B for clean water & wastewater systems

The "exude authenticity and warmth" alright. But also thoughtful construction. These notes aren't created to direct her. They are created for an audience. There is NOTHING about this woman that is what it appears to be.
Elizabeth Holmes' handwritten notes to herself from her Theranos days. These notes exude authenticity and warmth. This is not a person who treats herself as an instrument to be optimally calibrated for power, status, and influence: robkhenderson.com/p/a-guilty…

Absolutely. Ban on any facial covering that obscures the identity of the wearer, regardless of sex or religion. Unless for a valid medical purpose when authorized in writing by a qualified medical practitioner.

Couldn't agree more. I hope, someday, our gov't in Canada has the foresight to do the same.
BREAKING: Portugal bans burqas and niqabs in public places, with fines up to 4,000 euros. Muslim men who force their wives or female relatives to wear one will also face 3 years in prison. Burqas were described as a ‘symbol of women’s oppression and a threat to public safety.’

Fools, certainly. But MAGA right-wing fools undeniably. They are saying that their Catholic church supports a lifetime criminal fraud and money launderer, sex offender, racist bully. THAT'S what they demonstrated in this photo-op.
All you American bishops now coming out individually to express your regret for that White House meeting. You did not “appear” partisan - you were partisan. You revealed yourself publicly precisely as you are in reality - fools, every one of you. Shame on you.

Would PMMC get a better reception re pipelines to tide-water, with a Conservative B.C. premier than with a Green/NDP/Liberal one?
There's only one good thing that came out of the BC election: Albertans are no longer the stupidest people in the country. WTF is wrong with you, BC??? #canpoli #bcpoli #abpoli

High schoolers shouldn't have to wait until their 20s to learn how taxes, credit, and mortgages work. Make a full year of personal finance mandatory for graduation.

It’s not my business what Muslims do to other Muslims in Muslims countries, neither do I care, nor is it on me to save them from themselves. It absolutely is my business what they do in my country, on my community, to my heritage, my family and my property.

Hey @costcocanada - this is what you’re FORCING on your customers. Yeah, yeah. Your average but ignorant-of-the-facts Canadian buh-lieves that “halal” just means “clean” according to the nonsense they’ve been told. No. It just means barbarity to an animal that deserves a humane, stun death that aligns to 21st century Canadian values, not 7th century religious slaughter practices. I am Christian. There is NOTHING “inclusive” about forcing your Christian customers to buy meat slaughtered as a Muslim prays and slices the animal’s throat, forcing the poor creature to die a slow and terrifying death! But Costco thinks it’s just fine. Canadians who care: retweet. My friends didn’t know what halal meant until I spelled it out for them. In my town that is less than 5% Muslim, Costco expects ALL of us to bow to Allah’s wishes about how an animal should die. NOT OK.
I would like halal slaughter to be banned in Canada. Islamic values are anti-Canadian values

I'll give Trump credit for one thing. He held up a mirror to America and exposed just how many people choose hatred and bigotry over humanity, cruelty over compassion, and selfishness over decency. The worst part? They saw their reflection and loved it.

Hegseth on Afghanistan: I was a captain in Afghanistan, and we would go to the headquarters in Kabul, and there would be 50 flags at the headquarters. It was a beautiful thing to see 50 different countries contributing to the NATO alliance and the ISAF mission there. Except there were like maybe five that contributed. It was actually closer to one or two that, by the end, were actually involved in kinetic operations. In fact, the ISAF patch, we would joke that it meant "I Saw Americans Fighting."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Over 1100 non-American soldiers from 31 US-allied countries were killed fighting in Afghanistan, approximately 1/3 of the total combat deaths. t.co/x4tGhxJiFG

I’m tired of Americans speculating that Trump has dementia. It’s bullshit. He’s a fucking idiot. He was a fucking idiot 30 years ago when he identified as a Democrat, and donated to Clinton. He was a fucking idiot when he hung out with Epstein, and he remains a fucking idiot.

So it’s official: Reuters has confirmed that the White House gave the order to disrupt Starlink so Russia could attack Kyiv with no advanced warning. The US aided and abetted Putin’s killing of numerous civilians in Ukraine. Trump’s a traitor, a Russian asset who is using US military technology to help our enemy.

If you mention the “R” on my feed you will be blocked. The word isn’t Republican either even if it’s just as vile.

We've got all the convenience stores and all the fast food outlets that we need. But thanks for asking.
There isn’t a single Canadian thinking we need to bring in more people from India.

Correct. Of course. But the big question is WHY? What is in it for DJT to act as a Russian asset? Money? avoidance of blackmail? What?
Trump’s Russian diesel “deal” is equivalent to ~36 million barrels in total. Canada can do 1 mbpd—that’s ~10× more volume in a single year. Trump needs Canada way more than he needs Russia for diesel. Instead, he is a traitor to Ukraine + US allies for his own personal enrichment
