Professor John Mearsheimer : "if there were Nuremberg trials right where the Israelis and the Americans were brought before the court, President Trump along with President Netanyahu and many of their advisors would be hanged"

...and this is exactly why we need to regulate data centers *before* people start getting sick.

BREAKING: Amazon is set to pay $20.5 milion in the settlement of a class action suit over pollution in Eastern Oregon. While the tech giant denies its data centers worsen nitrate contamination in Morrow County groundwater, its money will fund construction of private wells and public water-treatment projects.

Israel is ethnically cleansing southern Lebanon - a displacement of people bigger than the 1948 Nakba.
It ought to be front and centre of western news reporting.
Simona Foltyn@SimonaFoltyn
Only one bridge is left to connect to the coastal city of #Tyre after #Israel bombed seven bridges crossing the Litani, practically isolating #Lebanon’s south. If that bridge gets struck too, it would create “a humanitarian disaster,” an official in Tyre told me. 15% of the city’s 60k residents remain despite Israel’s forced evac orders. Report coming soon @PBS @NewsHour.

I don't think many people understand the idea that a nationalised government service should not be making money, the tax payers money go to the company and the company benefits the tax payers. Why would CN rail need to make a billion in revenue when you can take a train?

Canada has a free trade agreement with Israel and uses loopholes to send weapons

NDP obtains a government document showing that 12 days before Ford signed the Ontario Place deal with Therme, a civil servant warned: "Therme has low liquidity, low equity value, and its financial strength appears weak."
Therme lied about owning 6 spas in Europe when they owned 1 and claimed as equity money they expected to earn from a spa not yet built in Germany.

If we properly used our other resources - particularly our great natural wealth, this kind of expensive investment as a country in our transportation infrastructure would make good sense, and we should expand the footprint coast to coast, as we all connecting major urban hubs in the Prairies, through to BC.
Connecting people as a nation, making it cheaper to travel from sea to shining sea, is worthwhile.
It would be fine to run this at a loss, the Canada Post model, for the benefit of Canadian citizens. Assuming we generated enough wealth from our other investments. It would be good to make our country feel a little smaller. And you have to start somewhere but this definitely shouldn't be limited to the Laurentians. Give us a means of travelling quickly across country that doesn't involve flying. Make them the best technology in existence today, something to rival the Japanese and Chinese trains that are out there. It would become a symbol of national pride - as long as it benefited each part of our nation.
This is the kind of thing that 20-50 years later, people take for granted.

I see everyone arguing about the High speed rail. And most of those arguments ignore facts and are clearly partisan.
They’re selling high-speed rail as a $60–90B project.
Bullshit!
90% of megaprojects go over budget.
California HSR? Quoted $33B, actually $120B+.
UK HSR? Billions over and still climbing.
Toronto LRT? Years late, billions over.
This is going cost $2,500–$4,000 per Canadian.
And who will use it?
Primarily a corridor between Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City.
Now the part they forget to mention.
Even optimistic projections show 40–60 years to see a return.
That’s assuming strong ridership, no major overruns, no delays.
Reality? Most high-speed rail systems never make the money back invested and require ongoing public subsidies.
So we’re borrowing tens of billions…
to build something a portion of the country uses…
that will never pay for itself…
and in all likelihood cost 100s of millions a year to operate.
This is not a smart investment. Someone stands to make a lot of money from this and it’s not everyday Canadians.

The main organization in Canada that advocates for Palestinian prisoners was designated a terrorist organization by the our government in 2024, but the country poised to put prisoners to death without a trial is an ally.

May we honour Stephen Lewis' legacy by rededicating ourselves to protecting universal human rights both here in Canada and around the world.
Samira Mohyeddin سمیرا@SMohyeddin
During his illness, Stephen Lewis spent what little energy he had, protesting Israel’s genocide in Gaza. This fact will most likely be missing from most remembrances of him today. Canada lost a giant of humanity and social justice. Sending love to @avilewis & entire family.

A year ago on this day, the most moral army in the world, executed at close range 15 paramedics in Gaza and then buried them along with their ambulances. IDF of course lied about it, as they ALWAYS DO, until video evidence proved as such. Zero accountability to date.
PRCS@PalestineRCS
Our medics were not missing… they were buried. Buried beneath a silence heavier than words, and beneath pain beyond endurance. The survivor, Asaad Al-Nassasra, speaks—his voice bearing witness to loss; to companions who left with him on a humanitarian mission, but he returned alone… leaving them under the soil without a farewell. And on March 30, 2025, the truth emerged as it is: bodies concealed, souls departed, and a wound that will never close. They were deliberately killed by Israeli occupation forces. This is not a story of survival… but a testimony to a tragedy that will remain.

Why is she doing this? Because there was general strike after general strike in Rome calling for an end to the genocide. Because the Italian dockers refused to ship weapons to Israel. The people made their fascist, pro-war PM change her tune because they demanded it. ✊🇮🇹

Doug often criticized Wynne for “outrageous salaries.” The new Sunshine List shows salaries in his office grew by 11% with a family member well paid at a local hospital too. This is now the most expensive cabinet in Ont. history. Tell us about outrage, Doug.

Just War Doctrine calls legitimate defense not only a right but a ‘grave duty’… the defense of the common good requires that an unjust aggressor be rendered unable to cause harm. More here from @shannonswalsh & Sean Calabria: fdd.org/analysis/2026/…

@DallasDuncanMD Carney is a rich, out of touch prick, just like Ford. No wonder they get along.

This is a very inappropriate response to a protestor advocating for her community suffering from mercury poisoning. It gets laughs from all levels of government. We aren’t serious about reconciliation and Indigenous rights in Canada.

This is better messaging than anything I've heard from the NDP in years
Mark Carney is ideologically committed to gutting public services
Avi Lewis is clearly the right person to make the case against that dangerous agenda
Scott Robertson@sarobertsonca
Avi Lewis: "We have shoved Canada Post so far into the market mindset that every few months we have a national conversation about why isn't Canada Post making money. Does the ambulance service make money? Do the police services make money? We're talking about a fundamental public service."

A progressive and a conservative laugh at a liberal's joke about "outlasting" a woman protesting his negligence on a mercury poisoning disaster that's cut Grassy Narrows' life expectancy down to almost half of the Canadian average.
