@nicksortor Fun fact, Article 5 has only ever been invoked once. Can you guess who invoked it, when, and why, and who answered the call?

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump is considering PUNISHING the NATO countries which were UNHELPFUL to the US during the Iran operation, per WSJ Trump would move US troops OUT of those particular NATO countries, and station them in countries that SUPPORTED the US. No brainer. And then he should totally withdraw from NATO.

@p1huycke @EScrimshaw From a provincial perspective, agreed, but they're not a provincial party. From a federal perspective, they slide into the "libertarian" spectrum because they favour decentralisation of the federal government.

I would love to know by what definition the Bloc, a party committed to Bill 21 and Quebec’s increasingly insane language laws, qualify on the Libertarian side of that axis, but sure Also, you know, the Liberals aren’t nearly that right wing but whatever
Christo Aivalis 🌹🍊@christoaivalis

This is wrong, because the political spectrum isn't bound by existing parties. There are ideologies to the left of the NDP, and the right of the PPC This is still VERY flawed, but it's much better The NDP is closer to the centre in broad terms than the LPC or CPC who are both right-wing

Mark Carney is seizing a costly Liberal majority that voters denied him, and doing so through backroom deals. In January, MP Gladu said that floor crossers should face voters in a byelection to give voters the final say. I could not agree more. She should do so. The people in her community voted for our Conservative vision of a Canada that is affordable, safe, and strong at home, not for the costly Liberal government she has now joined. She should honour her word and let voters decide.

Care to expand on this "capitulate or it's uno reverso" logic? The off-ramp is an ultimatum and capitulation, Hormuz is Iran's main leverage, and it's something it can realistically only do once, as the entire region will be looking to bypass Hormuz once the dust settles. So taking Trump's terms means, no leverages, no security guarantees, curb the missile and drone programs, no deterrent, and we may or may not ease sanctions a bit (but not remove them) and we may or may not stop attacking. Regardless of what one might thing of the IRGC, these aren't terms they'll realistically accept unless forced to. I wouldn't expect negotiations until after day 60, that's when the economic and diplomatic pressure starts to peak.

If the Iranian regime does not accept Trump’s off-ramp, they shift from being the victim to becoming the aggressor

This is ridiculous. "all for one" means an attack on one is an attack on all, within the geographical bounding box outlined in article 6. It's not willy-nilly, it's not based on the whims of the day, there's a codified agreement with restrictions. "For years Trump kept saying NATO only works when it's convenient." Article 5 has only ever been invoked once, can you guess the when, who, and why?

🇪🇺 NATO was built on "all for one." Right now it's more like "you got this, bro." The U.S. funds, arms, and basically carries a 32-country alliance. The whole idea since 1949 was simple. If one member fights, everyone shows up. Fast forward to now... The U.S. steps into a conflict and suddenly the group chat goes silent. 🇫🇷 France blocks weapons flights over its territory. Trump calls them out. They shrug. 🇮🇹 Italy refuses landing rights for U.S. bombers. Some planes reportedly turned back mid-route. 🇪🇸 Spain shuts its airspace and locks both bases. Doors closed. 🇵🇱 Poland refuses to send Patriot batteries. 🇬🇧 The UK, the ride-or-die ally, goes on record: "This is not our war." 🇩🇪 Germany calls the whole operation illegal while hosting the largest U.S. base in Europe. 🇦🇺 Australia steps back. 🇨🇦 Canada doesn't even show up. And that’s when it hits… These aren't random countries. This is the core of the alliance. Their reasoning is simple enough: "You didn't consult us. You started it." For years Trump kept saying NATO only works when it's convenient. Right now that argument is walking on its own two feet. 32 countries. One in the fight. The rest watching from the sidelines.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The last 48 hours to prevent catastrophe... Axios reports a two-phase deal is being negotiated through Pakistani, Egyptian, and Turkish mediators, plus direct text messages between Witkoff and Iran's FM Araghchi. Phase one: a 45-day ceasefire. Phase two: permanent end to the war. Mediators say fully reopening Hormuz and resolving the uranium question can only happen in the final deal, not upfront. Iran won't surrender its two biggest bargaining chips for a temporary pause. The core problem: Iran doesn't trust this won't be another Gaza. A ceasefire on paper that Israel ignores whenever it wants. Tehran wants guarantees the bombing actually stops and doesn't restart in 45 days. Given Israel's track record of striking through every previous diplomatic window, that fear isn't irrational. Trump told Axios directly: "There is a good chance, but if they don't make a deal, I am blowing up everything over there." The operational plan for a massive strike on Iranian civilian infrastructure is ready to go. Iran has promised to retaliate against Gulf oil and water facilities if it happens. Mediators are warning Tehran this is the last real chance. Trump extended his deadline by 20 hours to Tuesday 8PM ET. That's either a sign negotiations are progressing or one final pause before the most destructive phase of the war begins. Source: Axios

Rather than contemplate the obvious possibility that America is preparing to defend Western Civilization and that maybe Canada should prepare to help, this Canadian professor made up a conspiracy theory to explain away a proposed 50% US increase in war spending.
Timothy Snyder@TimothyDSnyder

Why does Trump want to increase the defense budget by almost 50%? Because he sees it as a payoff to the guys who will help him establish his dictatorship of convenience.

@sirenblep @FunTzuAcademy My kid has spent the last 6 years of grade school learning about native "history". I'm waiting for him to get to something else. Something that's actually useful.

It wasn't something that was part of the ciriculum when I was in HS, it was something we learnt from our parents, surreal af. For those of us born after the Quiet Revolution, with secularism, French, social democracy, and syndicalism so deeply interwoven into the fabric of our cultural DNA it's unfathomable that there was a time when francophones were second-class citizens and kept down by an alliance between church and state. A lot of "Quebec doing Quebec things" makes a lot more sense with this context.

So—you’re stupid LMAO. Provinces don’t have the right to unilaterally secede like that. Do that—and you get to meet the Canadian army!

@erik_thorvalds @sirenblep What a bunch of nostalgia laden cuckery. Countries break free from loser governments all the time. Alberta is gonna have a democratic vote and separate if we have a majority. You can lick Ottawa’s boots all you want, I’m voting for freedom. Let the chips fall where they may.
