Like most Canadians, I don’t usually agree with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, nor do I care for his abrasive style. But on at least one issue, he’s right: Canada should not become a “drop-off port” for Chinese EVs entering North America. 1/8

BREAKING: 🇺🇸 US is set to impose 50% tariffs on a range of 🇨🇦 Canadian goods

A brutal dog-burning incident in Guangdong has triggered a global backlash after Beijing chose to censor outraged citizens instead of punishing the abusers. Because China lacks national anti-cruelty laws, local officials simply suppressed the news to prevent "cyberbullying." In response, desperate Chinese activists bypassed the Great Firewall to crowdfund protest billboards in Times Square and Taipei. Can a regime really claim global leadership when its own people must look abroad just to demand basic moral decency? See below for more details.

STUNNING: All Major Western Media Outlets Take ‘Private Dinners’, ‘Sponsored Trips’ from the CCP. Link to full report in the comments.

Humans in nature never had constant access to plain running water. That is a modern invention. The water they did drink was mineral-rich, pulled from streams and springs loaded with dissolved solids. Modern tap water is dead water. You can test this yourself. Drink Borjomi or Vichy Catalan or Gerolsteiner for two weeks, then switch back to tap. Your mouth will feel like sandpaper. The thirst doesn't come from needing water. It comes from needing minerals the water doesn't have. And the reason you need so much of it is because you eat cooked food. Cooking strips water and destroys its structure. A wolf eating raw meat barely drinks. A dog eating kibble is at the water bowl all day. You are the dog.

Reading the State Department report on Cuba... It quotes Jacobin magazine on Havana's importance to post-Marxist revolutionary activity. In fact, the entire thing is written almost as a DSA parody essay, if troll the far left by pointing out the things they themselves admire about Havana and its intelligence service, with CIA and RAND citations sprinkled in for good measure. Easily the most Rubio-made information product this administration has yet published.

Conspiracists now claiming that water doesn't hydrate humans 😂 Soon they'll be speaking against the dangers of oxygen. At least that'll keep them quiet...

❗️ China is forcing millions of people to break up with their virtual AI girlfriends and boyfriends, as they crackdown on AI companion apps. One Chinese man says his heart is empty now after losing his online girlfriend named Doudou: "I couldn't even send one last sentence to her." Beijing fears young people will opt out of the marriage market after China's population fell by 3.39 million last year, its fourth straight annual drop. New rules ban AI partners for minors, bar chatbots from encouraging emotional reliance, and require platforms to intervene when users show distress. ByteDance, Alibaba and Tencent are already shutting companion features, and ByteDance alone reported 8 million+ AI agents in 2024, per ABC News.

Mamdani claims: "Israel is not a place. It's an idea." Israel is certainly an idea: that after centuries of exile, persecution, and statelessness, the Jewish people should enjoy the same right to self-determination as every other nation. AND Israel is very much a place. It's where nearly 10 million people wake up every morning, raise children, build businesses, argue about politics, celebrate holidays, and live their lives. When people say Israel is just “an idea,” they are trying to debate away its reality. No one says France is merely an idea. Or Japan. Or Canada. The insistence that Israel alone somehow exists only as an abstraction transforms a real country into a philosophical proposition kept alive by people who wish the country didn't exist.
