For reference- Canada received its independence from the United Kingdom by asking nicely.
It was granted to us and did not require any seizing.
Eric St-Pierre@EricRStPierre
Freedom isn’t granted, it’s seized. Just like 1776. Alberta (and the West) holds the economic power to stand on its own. The time for asking politely is over.

Not quite right. The world we knew & its democratic foundations are not collapsing. They are under attack.
In the face of this violence, we are failing to defend them. Instead of raising a general alarm or lamenting a vanished era, we should be confronting the aggressors.

“Let me be direct: The world we once knew, and the democratic foundations we once took for granted, are collapsing.” Former NATO Sec. Gen. @AndersFoghR spoke at the Copenhagen Democracy Summit. RDI’s @jaynordlinger reports from Denmark: thenextmove.org/p/the-free-wor…

@JohnThomsonSK Then @MarkJCarney, are you going to pay for a new grid? Current grids are unidirectional, “green” electrification requires a bidirectional grid. Or are you planning on rotating blackouts?

But first, we’re gonna plant 2 billion trees…

PM Carney: "Canada will double its electricity generation over the course of the next two decades because the path to affordability is electrification. The path to competitiveness is electrification. The path to net zero is electrification."

According to a study conducted by Tel Aviv University, 75% of Arab citizens in Israel are in favor of volunteering for non-defense civilian service. Half of the survey participants (53.3%) indicated that their sense of belonging to the country is currently strong. 👇Read more here: i24news.tv/en/news/israel…

Moscow is headed for escalation, mobilization & new invasions. To break this unending cycle, we need a full allied military response & serious embargo of the Russian economy, including oil, gas & metals. Tepid half-measures only add fuel to the fires of fascist aggression.

Цієї ночі росіяни знову вбивали мирних українців у їхніх помешканнях. Уже п'ятеро загиблих і майже 40 поранених лише в Києві. Більш ніж 1560 дронів агресор випустив по українських містах і селах із початку вчорашньої доби. Як твій день, світе? Наш український день у травні – лише один день! – ось такий. Він у крові, пожежах і сльозах. Прошу не мовчати про це, прошу дізнаватися і свідчити про те, що робить Росія з українцями щодня. Бо саме брак засудження та уваги відкриває російському свавіллю дорогу далі. До нових будинків, і не тільки в Україні…

Someone needs to tell Foreign Minister Anand to stop telling China that a "mass grave" was discovered in Kamloops in 2021. It never happened. blacklocks.ca/told-china-of-…

Given Trump will have never heard of Thucydides it's entertaining to imagine what he thought Xi was saying.
Taiwan Security Monitor (台灣安全觀測站)@TaiwanMonitor
Xi in his opening statement says the world is wondering: "Can China and the United States overcome the thucydides trap?"
English
@DominicCardy The arrogance of Xi. The Thucydides Trap is about a war … a subtle threat. Will the West understand? Does the average Canadian understand?

Damn straight. Visiting Canada is a privilege and people who defend #Oct7th hostage taking are not welcome here. May this be reflective of a new policy where we vigilantly screen those seeking to come here & defend our borders from letting in those who do not share 🇨🇦 values.

@DominicCardy I’m happy the US is drawing-down. Once the US leaves their influence dwindles. Given the state of US politics, Europe is better off without the Russified US position.

Russia bombs a European capital. The U.S. runs away.

The U.S. has reportedly canceled the deployment of the Army’s 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division to Europe, where more than 4000 troops had been set to reinforce NATO’s eastern front. A portion of the unit already in Poland has reportedly been directed to return home.

@calxandr Sinking / seizing the shadow fleet would be effective. Not sure on the law here but RS doesn’t follow int’l law & the system is failing anyway.

Defense of Ukraine@DefenceU
One of the largest air attacks of the full-scale war came right after the so-called “parade ceasefire.” Another reminder: Russia does not seek peace. Russia must be forced into peace.

@kinsellawarren @NickKristof @nytimes I knew there was more. I knew you were still working on it. Can’t wait for the next iteration! Keep going @kinsellawarren.

Spoke to 100+ people last night at our Toronto book launch. Talked about willing dupes for Hamas propaganda.
@NickKristof and his @nytimes editors were naturally at the top of the list. They're going to be in the next edition of this.

@ThomasWatsonCD @mattgurney Would you add investigative reporting? I find there is a real dearth of significant investigative reporting-it might help clean up politics …?

@mattgurney @DavidMacLeodvet CBC should be modelled after BBC News and focus on news and current events.

I stubbornly insist that Canada would be better off with a CBC than without one.
The question is what version of the CBC. Probably not this one.
WordsfromCanada@WordsfromC
@mattgurney Outside of urban boomer nostalgia what exactly is the CBC necessary for anymore?

I much prefer arrests—holding accountable those who enable foreign govts to operate illegal police stations—over the Canadian response, which has ranged from ambivalence to enablement, including actual federal grants to CCP United Front entities masquerading as community orgs.
